Hell yeah !!

Why should I trust Dave with my money lol

I'm sorry, but Dave or any other sponsor like them is deplorably bad. This only highlights the disparity that people across this Country are living in poverty. So much so the only way they can get by is an advance on a paycheck they'd otherwise earn from the work they'd be doing. It's downright sickening that people accept this as normal, it doesn't have to be normal. It's painful to say, but I live by the principal that all people should make a living wage. Though if at that point they make bad financial choices that's on them, and I can't really have empathy for that. I love the content this channel provides, but it's getting increasingly more difficult for me to even support, giving a like or share to help grow this channel. I get it, the expenses you have are costly, but surely a subscriber or fans only donations to content would offset what you'd stand to lose from these awful sponsors. Be it we get your uploads early, get to vote on future content, chat with you, etc surely that'd be objectively better, wouldn't it?

I own a 2011 Infiniti EX35. It has the VQ35HR with 297HP from factory, and the same chassis and the G35/37 only a couple inches longer and a wagon body. The thing is decently quick, looks unassuming, and is practical as hell with some nice frills. If you're ever looking for a practical sleeper that is a little different look into them. They can be modified quite if you don't want to keep it stock as well.

This is a predatory company

Interesting story. I always liked the 5.0’s but after driving so many at my job, they never felt as connected as my g37. Especially a manual vq car, they feel so connected to the road, it really is a missing feature from many modern cars today

"She's a screamer" - Heavy Australian accent

Stands are cool when you take all the unneeded positive traction out, then trees and etc aren’t an issue

@@IPL_VIC makes me wonder how a genesis coupe compares, as I've been considering both for my next toy

Funny I turned off rev matching right away in my ‘19 5.0. Although I welcome the feature as I turn it on when my wife drives the car.

It’s the shitbox falling apart straight piped autozone special z’s and g’s that give us a bad rep. They are getting so cheap that 18/19 year olds that are just chasing to have the loudest z out there drive them to the ground or a pole lol

At my school there is this 19 year old that got the usual automatic g35 and it was pretty clean but sadly a week later the rear bumper got all banged up my guess is from doing some goofy activities

@@IPL_VIC 90% of the time that generalization is true in my experience. I had a 3v GT making 324/295 at the tires and every 350z i saw would try to race and had the most god awful 4in straight pipe exhaust with bumpers tapped up and zip tied on with a 6ft amazon wing that doesn't fit. Guy I worked with long ago had a really nice stock Z before he had his kid with nice mellow exhaust and that was it and it was perfect.

There is just a lot of them that are riced out and they are expensive for the performance

370z is only hated compared to a 350z. 350 has better lines, 370 has better engine imo.

I've done the exact same mods for my 370 so far but with suspension. In my opinion the invidia gemini catback is the best sounding exhaust for this car because it sounds sporty with like no rasp and will never be obnoxiously loud.

Bro excellent choice with the invidia exhaust. Best sounding exhaust for the Z.

I know what you mean. I'm running Michelin AS4's and I feel like the king of balance between power and cornering. Slap a Z1 lightweight flywheel and the car is even more fun. I can easily go from a stop and easier to downshift among other things.

Crazy that the redline is 7.6k and with fueling and a simple tune you can increase that

@@Pinoycwoker But you really don't want to because the oil pump really can't handle 8k or past that rpm.

Absolutely the design is timeless

Yeah, I think it’s more or less what people do to them that earns the hate.

There's not as many of them as other sports cars either, the same thing will happen as has happened with Nissans before; they will become more desirable over time as their number dwindles from "drifters" trashing them and EV hybrids start to take over. They're one of the last analog sports cars as well.

I think that's what really matters especially for dailys. Unless you are creating a drag car or something 💯 never owned one of these cars but damn! I love the sound of their exhaust

Please help me defend the VQ FROM THESE IDIOTS 🤣😭

@@kndli67 LOL, bro people are always going to hate what they don't understand, but the reality is that they don't understand what they are missing 😁😀.

@@MemosGarageAZ that is a really good way of putting it! I love my vq and i want to branch onto other platforms (primarily bmw m3 f80) but since owning my last bmw, my g37 just feels so much better 90% of the time and sounds really good with the proper exhaust. I want to go boost one day hopefully. People really love to hate these cars but hopefully one day they’ll actually get to feel what we owners do for these cars

It takes a lot of money to get power naturally but it takes well to forced induction

@@IPL_VIC I think alot of their owners give them a bad name and it's similar with mustangs. Guys driving like a dbag and having a fart can sounding exhaust that is super loud and raspy with the huge non functional wing on the back of a car that'll never see a track or any situation where it would actually be useful either way but I digress. I can see they'd be a cool car to drive in manual form I daily a fiesta st so I get the fun factor thing and being connected to the car and road and all that. If they were cheaper they'd make alot more sense but for the money imo there are better options.

Agreed. It would never pass my state’s inspection anyway.

I bought mine 7 years ago and drove it daily for years. It still makes me smile every other weekend I take it for a spin. Enjoy yours man... it's a great car!

Sometimes I miss the z , it was so fun to drive.

@@txkingg is that a G70 in your pfp? I had a Stinger GT for 3 years. LOVED that car.

Sure is take mine to car shows since the bmw needs engine work so gave it to son drive the Tacoma 4x4 as daily

Another car you see a million times a day Dodge Charger and Challenger

I see plenty of altimas tho and they look the same😂 also yes stock mustangs but fast well modded mustangs still stick out and rare because everybody keeps it stock or rices it out same thing with a civic with a turbo and the hood cut off way cooler than a 370z trumpet tbh most would agree

With the right exhaust set up these cars sound amazing. People really like to generalize us because of all the clapped out falling apart z’s and g’s out there that cost 3k at most lol. I plan on going supercharged one day, but first I’ll stick to n/a

@@IPL_VIC couldn’t agree more and yeah it’s a constant battle between going single top Mount or a more conservative but reliable supercharge setup.

@@akoolz I eventually want to go mid mount turbo like freshkicks lol but you’re right when you said it cost an arm and a leg 😭😂 ill save that for when im 100k up 😂

I just can't wrap my head around people not getting the auto rev match manual transmission in these cars

@@bagfumbler it was only offered after a certain year. I wish i had it in my g37. I have to heel toe and i suck at it 😔

The positive displacement blowers especially a tvs is very much like that as far as instant throttle response but I get what you're saying and it is nice.

@@midnight347 you are correct. I should’ve specified: I meant compared to a centrifugal or turbo set up. PD accomplishes the same effect as having a larger motor. More violence. More tire smoke. I will never forget each and every PD blower experience I have been in. ❤ 🤤 KB Terminator Cobras being my fave…

The VQ35HR and VQ37VHR made me fall in love with N/A as a whole. When I was younger I always wanted turbo everything but now I truly understand

Exactly. There's an exhaust setup I once heard to make a VQ sound more like a GTR versus just raspiness and drone.

Aye strait piped they sound pretty bad, need some beefy resonators to dial out the rasp.

This video only made my hate for these cars increase. Which I though was impossible. I respect the N/A build though.

They always cheap out on exhausts. motordyne is the best sounding exhaust system for vq's

@@dylan2g exhaust? Everyone I hear has the exhaust cut off and sounds like absolute ass. This one is no exception.

agreed, the 370z is best on a circuit course or windy road. They drift very well too once you disable a few components

@@UnitiveWILLIAM24 One of the reasons why I have nitrous on mine. All SPL suspension for track and NA and just retune the suspension, nitrous and slicks for a little straight line fun.

Agree I love my 370z but it sucks to daily drive it, its so unpractical, but I love the body and interior and sound of the vq😍

This ones VVL too

It’s actually VVEL. I think the DE and HR only had VVT if im not mistaken

@@TalooshDaBoss they are all similar, compared to SOHC and pushrod V6s with no tech, you're at least making power lol

@@R3AL-AIM oh yeah definetly

So true, I have seen ppl pushing a little bit over 400 wheel NA in these things. Its great, you keep a smooth powerband keep it more reliable too, just win win imo

I think he means it is all motor. Some people call all motor builds "bolt on" as in it doesn't have forced induction. Doesn't make sense but just sayin

It lacks any build. It has air intake injectors fuel pump… external changes. Meh.

sounds like my modded 6mt N/A Chrysler crossfire

@@URBANENGINEER exactly when I hear built motor I'm thinking heads, cams, pistons, rods, intake manifold etc

Sounds like the typical shitfinti u see on a daily. You should’ve got a 370z looks way better more rare

@@Midnightvq Typical shit Infiniti but it’s the same car as a 370Z just AWD ?? You sound dumb, I have 3 VQs and they all drive the same including the IPL I have 😂

@@Midnightvq “Should’ve got” Why are you telling a grown man how he should spend his money first of all lol you’re tripping bro

@@juniorrhere6262 looks like you didn’t have enough money for a 370 💀

@@Midnightvq IPL costs more than a Nismo broke boy 😂

I daily a near stock 7AT, and I agree. Driving every morning in traffic, it's nice to be able to still sit in a RWD sports car without needing to worry about a clutch in stop and go traffic. Auto shifter is still decently responsive when you row through the gears when you wanna have fun.

Lol I’m the opposite. I daily a slow old 5 speed VW & weekend a 7AT 370z. It’s a different type of luxury to go from a slow manual to a fast automatic.

Yea if you want to spend 2k plus on an exhaust, single exit is fine just need a resonated y pipe

single 3inch makes more power

@@jacksonfreeman9809 Whats more important 2 hp or having an exhaust that actually sounds good that you will still love years after buying it

Same here

People compliment me on my g37 aswell. My exhaust isn’t too loud and obnoxious like this one. I think that’s why lmao

I take my beautiful stock nismo to shows sometimes and I get 90% positive reactions, but always find someone snickering and spouting incorrect info to their buddy… I don’t know how any car lover would snicker at a 370z.

Correct 👍🏾

The auto does not seem like the platform to build off of yet people still do lol Never understood that

dude banging gears in a fbo z w a grabby clutch is nuts. sounds like a dct on the outside if you know how to drive it.

@@Dannyyzeee I know man i love my Zs I documented my builds on my channel if you wanna check it out! :)

@@Mk7_kev I daily a 7AT 370 and the response on the trip is not bad at all. It shifts fast if you know your timing. With that said, building high HP builds on the AT isn't common because the transmission can't handle that power. But 330WHP? Completely fine and you have an auto that is technically faster than the manual and is easier to daily imo.

@@ProphitDesigns that depends who's behind the wheel. In the days these cars were out autos weren't much if any quicker than well driven manuals. I'm not familiar with these like I am my mustangs and ford's but I'd imagine someone with the driver mod could run right beside an auto. This was the case in the mustang world up until the 10 speed came which has a huge gearing advantage (which is mostly why it's faster). 6 speed auto vs 6 speed manual it's pretty much dead even if you got that driver mod.

That's not a JDM car...

@@jesterokjones4954 then what is it

@@KalaPhino What do you mean? It's a North American market car. If you can/could buy the car brand new in North America, it's not a JDM. A JDM car would be any Skyline like the R32, R33 and R34 or like the Toyota Century or an original badged Toyota Soarer, all would be right-hand drive and have completely different emission controls and standards and it would obviously had to have been shipped here from Japan making it an imported (J)apanese (D)omestic (M)arket vehicle. It would have been available for sale, new, in Japan only.

@@jesterokjones4954 🤓

Hello have you been listed on my inventory?

It’s never too late. Especially if yours is manual. I think it would be better than this one. Already a 25whp difference

I think I’m gonna hit him up and try to see if he will review my car

Full bolts and over 360? Wtf is your setup dawg! Send me the details cause I need my Z to hit that

@@TheUPRK there’s a couple z’s and g’s hitting those numbers in the facebook groups. Not often that you see it though and usually running e85

You can tune it to be on or off obviously. Dailying that would be annoying, the owner probably doesn’t have it on 24/7 lol

You can turn it off

I have a pop tune on mine but just like other said you can switch it off. I only put it on once and awhile.

Yeah no computer pop tunes should just happen naturally

Hey man its just an N/A V6 340-350whp is impressive if you ask me especially a motor that doesn’t even use direct injection

350 rwhp is PLENTY for a road car to have fun with. I could scare the ever-loving SHIT out of your average driver with a 350 HP Z.

I feel like that takes away some personality from this car

@@bc5084nahhhh lol every car doesn’t need that

@@blakelip3 very true but every car doesn’t not need it

Im with you Chad

I bought my 6 speed sedan with a muffler delete and it was so raspy and loud. Instantly put a resonated isr exhaust and now it sounds so good! I love the way the vq sounds, just hate the straight piped raspy ones. I also had a ARK exhaust on my old coupe and that sounded like a baby gtr!

Exactly man i have a 240i F22 but i kept my G37S N/A sedan nothing like N/A the 240i is a torque monster but the N/A VQ with a few mods is just raw

Do you have a de/rev up?

Honestly bro the 7 speed auto is a good gearbox for the time it came out, for a non dual clutch is very responsive, aggressive gearing, holds gear in manual mode and paddles actually work unlike most cars for that time

@@thatpersiandude7386 GTIs have had the DSG as an option since 2006, paddles are small but shifts like butter as a dual clutch should

Not sure why people think this auto sucks it doesn't. Even the old g35 had a decently quick shifting automatic trans. Like honestly @ 6:27 does he look bored or unsatisfied to you?

@@DigitalSubset If its not a dual clutch I’m getting a manual thats just my opinion

@@hed561 I've had em all zf automatic, dct in a mk5 gti, and my first car was manual. In my personal opinion, fun can be had in any car and that's what makes you a real car guy. But I respect your opinion

Straight piped vq’s such as this sound kinda bad. But there are exhaust out there that quiet down the sound and eliminate rasp. That was clearly not the goal for this owner and 90% of vq owners lol i love the way mine sounds, no rasp at all

@@IPL_VIC people do the same thing in the coyote world. Catless long tubes x pipe and the loudest mufflers possible if any at all lol. Rasp central. You go with an hpipe and some more tame mufflers they sound amazing but most 5.0 owners think louder = better unfortunately. I see alot of similarities in the s550 mustang crowd and the z crowd actually I think some of them are one and the same lol.

@@IPL_VICwhats your setup? in using a borla and it sounds nice

@@WhoIsRah 370z resonated isr single exit. I have stock cats for now so that’s one of the main reasons it’s not raspy. But my test pipes that I’m waiting on are resonated and if it’s too loud that way im gonna add resonators to my isr y pipe

fr why dump money into a auto would be better of manual swap it

Hello have you been listed on my Inventory?

I used to have a 370Z and this burble tune crap reminds me of the people that put on those obnoxiously loud exhausts on their 4 cylinder Honda civic. Having an obnoxious exhaust setup on a Z or VG in general reminds me of that. “I’ve got a stupid loud car but I’m slow!!” Sort of thing.

Yep. Just driving experience vs 0-60/lap times. It’s popular to compare this to the 5.0 mustang. Doesn’t help that it’s Japanese vs American V8, as many Americans are biased about that

It sure is. I have an auto 370z and I bought it because the manuals have been screwed! Sad people are such wanders these days. I gave up giving a shit about what others thought about me some time ago and realised I’d wasted so much of my life trying to fit in or impress others, what a waste of time. Never felt so much peace and joy since not giving a F@$k. :)

Hello have you been listed on my inventory?

1. I agree with you, I hate that rasp and pop sound and I have no idea why so many Z owners like that. 2. It's because everyone want to race them. Every time I drive my 370z, Mustang, Charger, Audi, Golf, owners always trying to race me. All I want to do is get to work in stop and go traffic. 3. All car owners are bad, Mustangs owners doing donuts and crashing into trees and running into ditches. Charger owners speeding down the highway trying to race everyone and their grandmother.

1) Not always true...look into helmholtz for exhaust...you can straight pipe with long tube headers and sounds amazing. VQs actually have a very nice tune with the right exhaust set up. 2) Guys just having fun with their cars. Z can handle and corner like a fighter jet on land. So even though they are not fast in straight line (mine's on nitrous btw and slicks)...they can carve corners. 3) Can't argue with this...seems like the Honda crowd is slowly migrating this way and scene has changed since more than a decade ago. I'm always looking to hop to maybe a GTR or something else, but the Z keeps reeling me back in. Car is just fun especially with the right mods.

Hello have you been listed on my Inventory?

I owned a Z back in 2012-2016 i do like the styling of the G better ngl

Don't underestimate those 7 speed autos they're a great auto option for the 370Z/G37

I love stick shift I’m currently swapping my CRV to 5 speed in a few months to join my 9th gen civic in the manual club. But I guarantee I cannot shift as fast as or as efficient as a modern automatic. The new accord 10 speed is amazing the 10 speed mustang and my buddies ZF 8 speed in his BMW are also great this doesn’t even scratch the DSG surface. Obviously golden age muscle cars, JDM cars, and European cars are better with a manual transmission but for modern speed unless you just want an analog drivers car the manual isn’t the choice for speed anymore not sure why so many people treat modern autos like the plague.

Shaddap!

@@CaptainTexas92 this isn't a new car, nor is it a great transmission.

@@acerusea5156 that's why so many racers and drifters use it....

You know, its love hate for me. Like a valved exhaust I would love to be able to just be obnoxious and rowdy for a few minutes at a time at the flick of a switch. Loud may not be fast but its fun within reason. And everyone's reason is a bit different

Fr

@David Laughman My issues is that most "drivers" now do that jus for the attention. Or maybe I'm old-school and really missed the times when a properly tuned, cammed high revving engine (H22, early VQ, etc) sounded delightful.

These cars are obviously tuned and you can turn the pop tunes on and off 🤦🏻‍♂️ you get like 3-4 different maps depending on the tuner and 2 of the maps are burble tunes, the rest are eco and performance

@Melvin Frazier right! At least some burbles without it being to obnoxiously loud sound extremely good and are a lot of fun. There was a guy where i worked at that had a v6 camaro with pops and bangs and it was so much fun every time he pulled up
