Awesome! I just picked one up myself, fully loaded, AWD, sport wheels & minus the DAS (Proactive Package). I couldn't be happier myself!

Exactly!!! He said himself he modified his VQ the wrong way & never got it right of course he going to chose 3.0 lol would his opinion be different if he supercharged or TT the VQ in the first place ?? I think it would! VQ is going to be more reliable in the long run period I'm sorry I just can't agree with him!! Its VQ all day 💯💯

I had a 650whp 370z supercharged and it’s still all the same. Modifying these engines is always a gamble. There is no making power and reliable.

@@EnthusiastPOV I think if you go that high, to 650 hp, there's no way to avoid a significant loss of reliability/longevity in that engine. Nissan states that you can go as high as 450 crank hp without needing to do any strengthening mods, so we may be looking at about a 5 psi boost level in manifold pressure as a limit for an engine that's to have a long life.

@@EnthusiastPOV you can make that reliable depends on who modding

Power and reliability are the opposite end of the spectrum

I will subscribe 👍

@@EnthusiastPOV What kind of aftermarket solutions? If I have someone make me a custom wheel, which I may be doing anyways, could I add in paddle shifters?

The F cars are sweet but I'm tempted to jump back to infiniti

I would go v8 always

Supercharge or turbo it. Tf lol

I went from a N54 e92 335i coupe to a VQ37VHR G37 coupe and I actually like the VQ better because of reliability and I think it drives better even though the N54 FBO was fast, I still havent modified the G37 yet tho but I like the stock version better then stock 335i for sure now I'm curious to see how it drives with a supercharger then I'll get a better perspective

@@50shades_of_memez it’s very tame with stillen supercharger

why do that ?? just put ur own turbo on it

Should've kept the maxipad Second gen vq swap maxima would be faster due to lighter body (2-400 lbs lighter) Have you seen the 700hp maxima tuned by admin?

Im late to this But you weren’t even close to hitting the Maximas peak. Those cars can be boosted from 3-5k and make some numbers. The 02 Maxima was literally ALOT cheaper to modify than your G8 and your Q50 but congrats on the cars you have cause they’re nice too

@@EnthusiastPOV That's good to know. Thank you for taking the time to respond!

Yes I had to walnut blast my 335i n54 engine and it was costly when the wastegate rattle and turbo leaks came in, I've since switched to VQ37VHR G37 coupe and I couldn't be more happier now just waiting to supercharge or TT it 💯💯💯

@@EnthusiastPOV I thought stock base torque was 269 lb ft.

Thanks you I appreciate it !

Red line is 500 less on turbo model from factory

I love those! I haven’t had the pleasure

@@nigelados4796 Sooooooooo🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️, nothing will sound and better build then the VQ.

B-Columbian Truther vr30s have a plethora of reliability issues. vq is more attractive to customers as it’s a tried and true NA motor

The VQ 3.7 is legendary and bulletproof reliable. The verdict is still out on the VR3.0 but the GTR VR3.8 seems just as bulletproof as a N/A 3.7

You're a fucking idiot, first year of the new Q60(non G37 body) was 2017, and the first year of the Q50 was 2016 and neither one, no matter what model will do 60-120 in anywhere near 2.5 seconds, it takes a C7 ZR1 corvette over double that time to do 60-120. If we're talking KM/H then maybe, but you're obviously full of shit and thought no one would notice so no point in even caring at this point.

Woah guys chill 😂😂

@@NALOW84 so dipshit, i put a video up on my channel just for you. Also you have to be told dipshit to think that I wasnt just fucking saying numbers. I said 2.5 sec cause 1.5 wasnt available. Ass. Hurry up and go check it out soon so you feel like a total dipshit in front of everybody for not knowing shit

No. It’s the same motor, same everything they just come tuned differently stock.

That would be a great setup, but it would kick the GT-R's ass and Nissan would lose sales on it. Actually, I think a great setup for the Z would be to stick with a lightweight N/A V-6, or V-8, and go for a displacement increase to get hp levels to about 400 at the crank. I like the greater simplicity, reliability and lower weight of a N/A engine. Nissan did a great job in producing a very efficient and sophisticated V-6 in making the VQ37VHR, they could continue the refinement process on it for the next gen Z.

@@videomaniac108 that costs just as much as slapping on a twin turbo kit or supercharger kit and the resulting power upgrade will not be as much. It will be a better drive though. There are so many charged kits for the vq37 that are simple to install it makes life easy.

That’s $8-9k + $2.5k supporting mods...... no.

@@videomaniac108 sure a stock gtr or even a tuned one but anything north of 900whp is where the VQ37VHR block gets weak

Which engine does ur buddy have

VQ37 I want to do Takeda intake, exhaust? Need something quite on idle no drone , stillen supercharger.

Lol that is entirely up to the owner if you actually buy it

Thanks for the reply (:

Thank you

1ceibaarima turbo it

Nitrous. Cheap. Fast. Reliable

DIabolical10 check out 'Boost In Motion' youtube page me talks about the JB1.

I have a JB4, and its a great mod but if your die hard about performance go with the tune. JB4 gives you a nice bump in torque but it still relies on factory set parameters, it doesnt change ignition timing or air fuel ratios. I wish I went ecutek.. and I may upgrade to ecutek in future

@@vince2433 how much hp increase?

@@samuelelite123 about 30 hp, but torque increase is significant, 50+ lb ft. Burgertuning.com

BairddE was just thinking this, I wonder if it does

all of the AMS cooling mods are backed by Infiniti as they sell it themselves.

@@EnthusiastPOV so i can just go to any muffler shop and just ask for testpipe ? Is it also true that test pipe give engine check light?

130K on a VQ is nothing, my 3.5 is at 304K milep

You ain’t lying. !

I wish it was offered in the Q60.

Midwest Hoonigan Arent the headers different for awd models?

Exhaust, hfc or test pipes will work for the supercharger doesn’t need much

Yes they’re for the 3.7

And you can run air to water on a s/c no issue. P

Vq

It’s very durable almost bulletproof

It's all about maintenance, always change the oil, transmission, rear diff,(front diff&transfer case/awd) & coolant at the proper intervals. Change spark plugs and timing chain/belts every 30k-60k. Just depends as each engine is different so keep up with the FSM. The VR30DDTT has a belt, the VQ has a chain. A belt doesn't necessarily mean it's inferior to a timing chain. The VG30DETT in the 300zxTT had a belt as well, its FWD variant the VE30DE has a timing chain. It's genuinely a little easier to replace timing belts as they have easier access since they are often changed more frequently than timing chains. It can be a p.i.t.a. to change a timing chain in a VQ. But it's not that difficult. A lot of ppl neglect to do this maintenance after their warranties are up. It's the one downside in purchasing a used car. For the most part you're more likely to have a better maintained engine with an Infiniti than a Z. The Z would likely be owned by someone a lot younger who beat it all to hell. Infiniti owners for the most part tend to be older and could afford to properly maintain the car even after the warranty was up. They also weren't racing everyone they could. I don't know about the VQ37VHR'S as I only have the 2nd gen VQ35DE. But mine is at 206k and it's as strong and reliable as ever. It was well maintained, I can only second guess when the timing chain was changed. The timing guide tensioners were it's weak point. But it should of been taken care of during the recall. Timing chains can last the entire life of the engine well past 200k. I figure my engine had everything replace between the 80k-120k range. If not, than it's still going strong. I just replaced valve covers and gaskets and there was no sludge on the inside of the covers. No burnt oil residue either. The cams looked great, rockers were clean, valve bodies clean,etc. When I took the plenum off it had minimal oil residue, which I eliminated any further build up with a catch can. The valves were surprisingly clean as well when I looked down the intake manifold. So my analysis was that it was taken care of fairly well. I could also tell that the majority of it's miles were all highway miles based off clues from the wear and tear of the interior parts. I'm highly confident that this engine will still have plenty of life left in it. I'm hoping I can get it to 300k as I don't plan on ever selling it. I'll eventually save up for a Q60 myself, and I'll do a swap for the G35X I currently have. I'd like a more unique sedan build. Only a few have done it for Formula D drifting events. Anyways Nissan's are highly reliable but so are just about any other platform. Well not all are built equal so I take that back. Then again it could also just be the luck of the draw. Could just end up with not necessarily a lemon,but just one that falls apart for whatever reason. I've had an 02 Z28 Camaro that was at 215k when I sold it. It was still running strong,but I babied that thing. Then I've also owned a 95 BMW M3 and it started falling apart on me at 165k. Which is why a lot of ppl are hesitant in purchasing such a high mileage vehicle. I don't even consider 80k to be high mileage. Anything under 160k is mid range for me. If they can provide maintenance records than hell yeah even better. You'll know that you'll get another 5-10yrs out of it if it's a Nissan. So if you get one that's under 70k, then you could have a reliable car for the next 10-20yrs easily. One things for sure, it'll definitely hold it's value. Hell I see 16yr old Infiniti G35s going for 3k-6k all day. They go for even more if they are 06-08 VQ35HR's.

Thank you for taking the time to give me such a detailed response I’m glad you’re now in the Infiniti platform. The oil turning dark is a very common question and there’s hardly anything wrong with it. Above all oil is a lubricant but also a cleanser. Heat can make fluids turn dark very quickly and with oil it’s no different. When you see oil with a dark tint it just means it’s doing it’s job. Now if it’s sludge or very dense, you have a different issue. The VR30 idles very loudly do to the DI system, completely normal.

Enthusiast POV Cool thanks man! And what would you recommend as far as the first Modification for my Q50? I was thinking lower down pipes but again I’m not sure if I would pass smog in California with that being said, would I have to tune it in order to pass or does that not have anything to do with the tune? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

ABEL G i actually have two videos on how to start modding these cars properly.

Enthusiast POV Cool thanks again, I will view more videos today

How's your Q holding up & what do you have done to it? I recently bought a 2016 Q50 Premium myself with 40k miles last week and I'm looking into mods already

WOW!

the motor is already out and 3.7 manual tranny fits it.

G70 instead lol

@@EnthusiastPOV ty

It’s honestly about the same. It’s not an expensive car to maintain.

If you just wanna make power for as cheap as possible then a g37 is the way to go but if you care about having a nicer, more comfortable newer car then I would go with the q60 all day. Comes down to your priorities really. Making a 600hp car just to daily drive it is a waste of money imo

Not at all lol

Probably a 30k mile one is okay to do can always warranty stuff before it’s up then mod.

WOW NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT!!! Now that's a swap I would actually consider over the VQ !! not the vr30 💯💯💯💯

The GDI makes your intake valves gross. OCC the PCV to negate.

@@EnthusiastPOV check out either the forums or the two main FB pages, I did a tutorial. It's an easy DIY, HMU if you have any questions.
