Wow, a thumbs down within the first 5 minutes of posting--that hurts lol! Despite having nearly 200 videos explaining each and every mod/part I've added to this car, I get regular questions about this part or that, so I hope everyone finds this video informative! Thanks for watching!
I was thinking about drilling some holes in the fake grill around the fog lights and making it like an actual vent. I noticed the way the car is designed and has the entire engine bay closed from underneath, the only air coming in is directly to the rad, which is good, but... I was thinking if there was air flowing through those ports it would hit the wheel well and be forced up because it cant go down being encased and physics lol So more air directly to intakes, cooling the bay and hopefully causing a bit of lift, forcing more pressure on the rear (driving) wheels. What do you think? Good, bad or ugly?
I thought about trying to use those for ducting for brake vents. I like seeing innovative ideas. Obviously they designed the car like that for a reason, but you’re theory makes sense. It would be difficult to ever measure it to know if it made a difference, but cool idea!
@@SpeedCultureStudios Well thank you. And yes in theory it sounds good. The only problem I can see is without anywhere for the air to go without fender vents is pressurization and drag. And yeah it would be hard to tell the difference lol.. but I'm sure that direct flow to cold air intakes would help. Stock intakes probably not so much but maybe the pressure would be a good thing in that case.. I guess there is only one way to know.. and thats to find out!
i'm thinking about buying some 19x10.5 wheels in rear and I want to use 275/30/19 or 285/30/19 that offset me recommend ? +35? or else? thank you and I'm a big fan of yours
Thank you! +35 might be ok. 10.5 is pretty wide in the rear if you’re not using adjustable camber arms. I had a 9.5 +35 in the rear lowered 1.5” and it was pretty flush with a 275 so you might get a little poke on stock arms
Thats alot of Mods,Ur wife is probably like stop spending money on that car!!😁My wife is like sell ur car, u hardly drive it,but I am car guy,the q50 is a good platform,and fun build😁
Did you get your car printed or is that stock? I just purchased a white Q50 2014 and I love it and I'm ready to start making "mods". Love your ride and videos!
Ah, no I have not painted the car. Its a 2015 that I purchased at the beginning of 2018--paint was like new and I've taken care of it, so there has not been a need to paint it.
@@tonytieu68 the pcv hose. yeah I have the z1 pcv hose, but if you want to use heater hose or something I think it’s like 3/8” You’d have to check out my z1 intake tube install video. I originally used hose and I show that product in the video
@@SpeedCultureStudios o ok yes sir I been watching that video back to back lol and im follow your build I was planning to buy takada cold air intake but then im on a budget 😅 im also thinking of getting Remark muffler delete axle back what your opinion i just want to sound aggressive
@@cesarpena702 it’s a custom setup so you can almost fit it on anything. Are you going single exit or you want dual exhaust? You would just want to take a measurement to see how much room you have to fit the borla muffler. There is a smaller alternative if you don’t have the space.
@@SpeedCultureStudios alright I'll definitely have to measure to see is any of the AWD components take up some space and I'm planning on sticking with the duals.
@@cesarpena702 check out this video linked. You may be able to install it in reverse order. I have it drawn in a picture in this video. I’ve had an awd g37 do it this way and it works great! Might have a better chance of it fitting th-cam.com/video/VFG8e6eVTGU/w-d-xo.html
@@SpeedCultureStudios Touche!.. How bad of an idea is it to do an initial fill up with high test gas and then top off with mid every hundred miles or so.. then drain and refill, rinse and repeat.. every 500-1000 miles. I just got my G37XS and didnt fully consider the gasoline situation. So I'm trying to do a life hack here lol. Any thoughts??
@@SpeedCultureStudios Yeah probably not... One question though. Do you find the auto transmission lags a bit before switching? I'm assuming it might, being a sport model, to stay in a single gear for a second, anticipating you may continue accelerating harder before it decides to switch... I've never driven a 7 speed so it's a bit different I guess. I'm just hoping I'm not having tranny problems after driving it full manual the first night I owned it, not having it long enough to tell the difference** It's not terrible. It just seems to do it when I'm being conservative

Haters gonna keep hating man. Dumbasses probably hit the wrong one anyway! 😂😂😂

Thanks man!!
Found your channel from the post about the meet in GA from Enthusiasts POV. Look forward to seeing you there.
Awesome! Thanks for checking in!
Add me to the list of people who got the SCS exhaust! I finally got it done haha
Heck yeah!!
I don’t know how many times I’ve tried to find one of your videos and thought to myself “I know I watched this, where is it..” 🤦🏻♂️
I know what you mean! People ask questions about things in old videos and I have to search for them myself lol
Black on black on black 😎
The best combo!
Love your videos
Really appreciate that!!
“100 videos”...slacker ! 😂 great summary of a great car...u forgot the emblem lights in the door...let me know when u r ready to sell the Q 👍🏻
Oh damn I did forget those! I actually am over 150 videos-gotta be close to 200 vids now!

Of course you may have already said that you have or haven't printed it but I have only watched a couple videos so far...
I’m assuming you mean tuned? The car has bolt ons and is tuned, yes.
Hey what front bumper do you have
non-sport bumper with front splitter. Check out my other videos!
So do i need test pipes or can i keep it stock because i recently bought everything you listed in your exhaust setup video 🤔 plz help
No you don't "need" test pipes. Several people have done this catback setup with the factory cats. Still sounds good!!
Do the q60 shift knob upgrade !
Ya know...I haven’t even thought about doing that, but it does look nice. Maybe I will
Hey I really need help finding like gloss black rims for a reasonable price
Still waiting for stickier tires and draggy polls!
Getting mounted and balanced in the morning!
What manifold did you install???
No manifold
Go Pro sticker adds couple hp 😂
I can feel it! Getting my own decals made, so that will be replaced soon!
Thats alot of Mods,Ur wife is probably like stop spending money on that car!!😁My wife is like sell ur car, u hardly drive it,but I am car guy,the q50 is a good platform,and fun build😁
She’s used to this after all these years. I don’t really buy anything else for myself ever so it doesn’t really bother her.
You're in Charlotte im in VB your car is wet im gonna be doing a lot of what you got but im so mechanically inclined its sad
You can handle it!
U gave me a link for the front lip , but it’s no longer available! I don’t like the one I bought !
Where can I find the exact one ☝️
(Front lip )
where did you get the steering wheel from?

No longer available. But you can check with Jaliscos carbonfiber on IG.

How much should I expect to pay for some used paddle shifters !?
How much did u get yours for ?
G37 ( paddle shifters) should fit correct !?
Yes they’ll fit. You’ll see them generally around $200 - $300
@@SpeedCultureStudios I see now ,
Ive seen some cool looking ones carbon fiber ones , for that price ! Thank you for replying,to you’re subcribers!
@@carlosbolanos5361 thanks for following along!
What’s the offset on your DR53 wheels?
+35
Dont you see the video ? He said +35 come on men
Hey speed culture question what size hose you use for z1 intake tube
What hose are you referring to?
@@SpeedCultureStudios im referring to the Z1 silicone intake tube but on the side of it where there another small hose you connect
@@tonytieu68 the pcv hose. yeah I have the z1 pcv hose, but if you want to use heater hose or something I think it’s like 3/8”
You’d have to check out my z1 intake tube install video. I originally used hose and I show that product in the video

@@tonytieu68 just have a shop cut your muffler off. $100. If you’re on a budget, why spend $300 just to remove the muffler
From this set up what fits the 08 G35X?
What setup? The exhaust?
@@SpeedCultureStudios yes the exhaust

Reliability ?
It’s a solid platform! Check out my vq37 reliability video and my recent common failures video
What rim size is that?
I'm pretty sure I state the size in the video.
19x9.5 +35
😂😂
You forgot to black out your tires for the video 😂🤣
Otherwise.. nice tune buddy
I didn’t forget. You don’t want tire shine on your tires in driving situations like this.
