Also for people who are digging into this further, there are good videos he's put up about suspension and also a locking diff. There is more than one way to skin a cat and he shows you this if you go back and watch the videos. You can even use the links for some of the parts. I know that most people are gonna balk at replacing the diff and doing suspension because they aren't adding to that coveted horse power number, but throwing two grand at the basic parts he has mentioned here, and then throwing another two grand at the right suspension and rear differential will still be under 5k, and you will have an all around amazing daily that you can enjoy year round. He explains about how to get the available horsepower to the wheels through the diff and suspension. But he's not just yapping for the sake of yapping. He trials, puts the video up for all to see, and is very honest about the results. If you have a 3.7 q50 then this channel is gold for you.
I've got the 2014 q60, essentially just an upbadged g37 coupe for the later model years, and it has been the most enjoyable experience behind the wheel in a vehicle I have had yet. It is such a comfortable, yet alive car, and for the price, I don't think there is a better alternative with all factors considered for (reliability, comfort, performance, aftermarket support, looks). If it wasn't the go-to vehicle for Edgar to crash into a crowd of people at a takeover, I think it would be a more respected car, but hey, I prefer them to be slept on, as it means I can keep getting inexpensive parts haha. Great video
Old guy here and loving my 15 Q50 stock other than wheels. I love the lines of the car and found a somewhat rare chestnut color that is awesome and I don't see many around - gray/silver, white and black are the norm. Daily driver I bought as lease return 1 owner in 2018 with 22K on it, and put over 100k on it so right around 125k now and no problems. Diligent maintenance, drivetrain oil changes, brakes, wheels, tires and washes keep her looking awesome. Not worth much on trade and no plans on ever selling it until the wheels fall of. I love your tuning tips and expertise on the car but nothing I need to enjoy the ride although I'll keep watching especially when you confirmed what I know on the Q50. Keep up the good work!
I got a 5.15 0-60 on my old awd 2015 limited 3.7 - all stock with 120k miles in the florida heat after a 800 mile drive. I don’t call that slow for a nearly 4k lb 4 door sedan with a N/A V6 !!
The G37/Q40 sedans & the Q50 are the true 4DSCs of Nissan. The Maxima should have been stripped of that moniker YEARS ago. As a 2013 G37x sedan owner, I think you are spot on with this video. Only gripe I really have is that there aren't as many performance parts for the AWD models as there are for the RWD!!
I have a 15’ Q. The transmission is a bit laggy at times. A better auto transmission would’ve made this car way better IMO. Nonetheless, still a great car.
@@Prodby2trill exactly this. There’s been a couple times where I wanted to overtake someone and it took a couple seconds for it to drop gears and take off.
Hay dood! I just bought a Q50 and in natural order I've become a bit of a fan of your channel. Couple questions for you. I have a 2014. I want to move some parts from the newest sport models. Front bumper, paddle shifters, seats, transmission, and maybe exhaust(havent heard one yet but i want an exhaust thats alittle more aggressive but not too much more aggressive). Are all these parts plug and play for my year? I know you said the trans needs some stuff in another video. Besides that is there anything that might keep me away from these part swaps? Also is there a model with cooled seats(not just heated) that would plug and play in my year?
@@Xx3SPAZxX front bumper conversions bolt right up, all qs come with wiring for paddles, trans basically bolts right up, exhaust i heard bolts up from the 14-17s (can fab new pipes if needed) but there would essentially be no difference as all qs are pretty quiet from stock. if you want it more aggressive i’d go for an axle back.
“Newest” sport model? Like 2023-2024? Then no. Paddles changed in 2018 to wheel mounted so yes you can install paddles but they have to be from 2017 or older. Front bumper from the 2014-2017 sports bolt right up but newer bumpers may take some tweaking to work but it definitely can be done. Dong even waste time swapping exhaust-there wouldn’t be any difference anyway. Best bet is to go custom or aftermarket based on what you’re going for. You can swap in sport seats but I’m not sure you’ll get every function-like if your car is not already equipped with heated/cooled seats. Thanks for checking in!
Hey @speedculturestudios I just got a 2015 Q50 AWD w/ close too 80K miles im having issues with my key fob and im wondering if you can help me out . My key fob recently stopped working but occasionally opens my car and for some reason I have bette luck opening my trunk . I have to start the car by pushing the fob up close to the ignition button and manually open it VIA key , it’s quite annoying especially since it’s summer and very hot out . I’m hoping it’s a bad battery vs a bad key fob because I just got the car . Wondering if you have had this experience? Love you channel Btw and have been watching all your videos 👍🏽🤝🏽
BRO THE AMOUNT OF COMMENTS I GET with q50 has a CVT🤣🤣🤦🏾♂️ I could imagine how u feel reading these comments sometimes makes you want to pull your hair out of your head
I actually want to get a 2014-15 q50, but im trying to save for a house, so its a bit conflicting. I also need to buy tools for work, so it doesnt help with that either.
It’s a great car but 91 being expensive and low to no car payment would feel better then the 2015 q I have now. To each their own but it’s a cash cow but a great one
Bro, im sure most of claims are from mopar bullies, but man, you know well enough its expensive to do anything modded to this car thats not cosmetics. Stop it, 3.0 are shitting on us.

Im the original owner of a 2012 G37 coupe completely stock... still drives great.
That’s awesome
@@SpeedCultureStudios The milage is creeping up ... 11,544 as of today.
3.7 is tried and true. Less horsepower larger displacement always goes the distance

Great Video as Always Ive heard all of these BS myths Ive owned a FBO 15' Q50 and made 370WHP ON E85 I now own a 21' Q50 its decent Q50 AMAZING CARS
Thanks for chiming in!
I got a 2015 Q50S and it’s a blast and definitely fun asf to drive and fast. Its fully loaded and got all sport options
3.7 is the ole reliable lol
And that's why the new z Wentworth the turbo 3.7 even though they already had 3.0
@@ryukiddin new z uses the 3.0t

I know what you mean… like sometimes it’s hunting the gears down and it feels weird
@@Prodby2trill exactly this. There’s been a couple times where I wanted to overtake someone and it took a couple seconds for it to drop gears and take off.
@@ScoopDog13fr, sometimes it runs so smooth then other times it be lagging
Dam I got a 15’ too and I know exactly what you’re talking about🤦🏽♂️😂gonna upgrade my trans in the future but for now it works.
@@ponce7016 it’s how these cars are I think, my g37 was the same but it never had problems
Thanks for the information great video as always ✊🏾
Great video my guy regardless I will always love my 3.7 Infiniti q50 😤🤘🏽🔥 &.. I ain't selling her either 😜
I have the 2014 Infiniti q50 sport I love that car !!
very informative! thanks for the video
Thanks for looking

what do you recommend for Oil Catch Cans, without compromising compression and intake case pressure?
You need a pressurized oil air separator catch can with shorter vacuum hoses
Facts !!!
Great video
Thanks!
Do you have a hotchkis front sway bar or only rear? Would you recommend both for an awd?
I have both in RWD. Awd already has robust front sway bar so rear is more important
I can only speak for my car. I defenitly have a delay in the pedal to the go part. Not extreme but enough to be annoying
do an idle relearn
@@mudshotit I've done multiples. Doesn't work
@@Marrda if that didn’t work try a drain and fill!🤙🏾
i do agree with a lot of these good points.

Definitely a bad battery. If it works putting it close to the dash that means the battery is weak
Low battery
Great great informative video
Thanks for watching!
Another Great video like always
I appreciate that!
Is there much of a difference between the 3.0 vs the 3.7 q50???
Check out my 3.0t vs 3.7 videos
I got a 2014 q50 3.7 & raced a 2022 Lexus is250 and gapped
can we talk about that shirt tho? 🔥🔥
I love it but actually can’t remember where I got it!
BRO THE AMOUNT OF COMMENTS I GET with q50 has a CVT🤣🤣🤦🏾♂️ I could imagine how u feel reading these comments sometimes makes you want to pull your hair out of your head
People think they know something 😂
its the same engine bro vq37vhr just fooled around with just like the vq35hr was similar but small differences so you cant use the old parts
Different cam and different exhaust manifolds-I mentioned it in the video. Not insignificant. Other head design differences too I believe.
I actually want to get a 2014-15 q50, but im trying to save for a house, so its a bit conflicting. I also need to buy tools for work, so it doesnt help with that either.
It’s a great car but 91 being expensive and low to no car payment would feel better then the 2015 q I have now. To each their own but it’s a cash cow but a great one
Bro, im sure most of claims are from mopar bullies, but man, you know well enough its expensive to do anything modded to this car thats not cosmetics. Stop it, 3.0 are shitting on us.
I just gave the costs and results to expect. It’s not expensive to get 65 hp. It’s not a turbo car. You have to have reasonable expectations
The sound is really bad can't really hear u.
Might want to check your speakers. Playback on tv, laptop (speakers and headphones), and phone (speaker and air pods) all sound clear for me...
man get a mic, i didn’t understand half of what you said
Fix your speakers lol. Playback is perfect for me in tv, computer and phone using headphones and not. Can’t fix what isn’t broken
@@SpeedCultureStudiosSounds perfect to me, understood it all even with loud machinery around me.
