[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Hope this is what you all were looking for! A lot of mods to come, but what would you like to see done to the Q? BESIDES supercharger lol! Make sure to enter the giveaway as well! Link in the description.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Josh Adolphsen You’re welcome to enter the drawing, but if you have the RS400, they will not fit...

[@samkucer6415]

Those stickers will definitely go on my car or computer the test pipes will go well on the q50 and the shirt will get worn to nothing I love ur channel and it makes me wanna make one. Your q50 is sick and I love all the mods u have on it I can’t wait to mod mine out

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Thanks for the support man! If you are even considering a channel-just go for it!!

[@zero00-100]

The car looks great so far. I think a Varis Magnum Opus kit would look good on it.

[@203Papo]

I give it a 10 brother love the ride

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

jacob lopez hell yeah! Thanks a lot!

[@MahdKxng]

A video on blacking out the headliner and plastics would be dope. How to remove and reinstall everything is something I’ve been Wanting to see for awhile

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Good video ideas!

[@tylerroberts9105]

For the trunk trim, I'm gonna wrap it in gloss black and use a Xacto knife, to cut out the INFINITI letters. I was looking to buy the trim that comes like that, but I could only find carbon fiber (Not a fan of carbon fiber either). It shouldn't be too difficult to do since there are no curves. If you were to do it, I think it would look good with your silver and black color combination.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

The problem is I don’t want chrome letters. I want it to be all black so I don’t want to cut the letters out.

[@tylerroberts9105]

@@SpeedCultureStudios okay. would you get a roof spoiler. I bought one from HIC. Just waiting for spring to put it on. Temps too cold in MN right now.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Tyler Roberts Where are you from in Minnesota? I personally would not get a roof spoiler. But definitely smart to wait until you get warmer temps.

[@LaenPvP]

Thanks for all inspiring ideas. I'm taking a very budget oriented start as the final setup i wanted to run with 19s, Michelins, Z1 2 piece Akebono BBK conversion. $7k+ is a bit out of the price range currently so this is what i was thinking. I have a 15' Premium RWD with 28k miles. The factory 17x7.5's appear to have been professionally painted glossy black, I thought it was a factory option but i can't find them anywhere, maybe a dealer thing? The wheel looks good and since there's no contrast between the tire and wheel the diamater doesn't look as hideous as the silver. I installed 25mm hubcentric spacers in the rear to help flush it out which helped the look, but the fronts are sucked in still so It's a bit goofy. Here's what I'm thinking on a tight budget, I live in the Phoenix area with zero need for a all-season, it has stock Nexen N5000 plus 225/55 all-season with an overall tire diameter of 679mm. I was happy to see your setup rakes down on the Tein's as you have a 687mm front and 675mm rear diameter. I only city drive, seldom curves and i don't plan on autocross. I want to get the same spacers I've had on the rear as there's been no issues, so the fronts will be pushed out 25mm. Drop it on the Tein STech. Affordable summer tires 235/55R17 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s squared which are 690mm, -1.59% speedometer difference. My rear diameter would be +15mm over your 19s and +3mm over your fronts. I really want comfort so i like a thicker sidewall. So my wheel-well should look nearly the same as yours and an ever slight increased rake. If i did a 235/50 up front it would be 667mm increasing the angle and dropping the front by ~12mm. Maybe that would look even better? Heh, I know I'm going to get a lot of crap from running 17s but hey, i could do that setup for $800, have a wider stickier tire, be lowered and wider. I would follow that with the rotor swap you did. Whenever i do this I'll make sure to take some pics and share, I don't think it will be as bad as some may think =)

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I don’t mind 17s but the problem with the factory wheels is that they are only wide enough for a 225 maaaaybe a 235, but if you’re not worried about grip so much that’s not a big deal. 18s are a good compromise if you’d consider changing wheels.

[@LaenPvP]

@@SpeedCultureStudios Yeah i do wish they were a little wider, I agree 235 is really pushing it. Maybe if i tried to do a 225/55 up front which would be 679mm then do a 235/55 in the rear at 690mm and just run a little lower pressure in the rear. It feels kinda wrong just talking about those tire sizes on the Q, but meh, when i do save up i'll do it right, in the meantime this should be a nice little grip upgrade from what i have and look a lot better than the stock stance with the sucked in 17s.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Sam H Do it! I definitely recommend most of them. Suspension, sway bars and rotors for sure!

[@samh2335]

Speed Culture Studios say less 👀

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Lol

[@Villano271]

That design for the sticker is amazing! & another suggestion for something dope with the key chains is to put the speed culture logo from the shirt on a few and stamp the sticker on some or maybe even a mixture of both(utilizing front and back of the key chain) but overall you have some dope mods on the car, my Q50 will get there one day lol Keep up the great/informative content.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Thanks man! Actually working on a leather stamp right now! Stuffs expensive tho so trying to prioritize mods and merch stuff!

[@dannyrz3]

What do you think about adding/upgrading the plenum and lower manifold on the q50 3.7 from z1. I got a quote of $550 to do the work? Reason i ask is im going to get a tune in 2 weeks. I already did the custom exhaust and the bolt ons you recommended.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Not worth it at all. Had a friend install them and retune and made the same amount of power and torque as he made without them. This engine just does not respond to those mods.

[@dannyrz3]

Your awsome man, thanks for letting me pick at your brain from time to time! I'm hyped for my tune!

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

dannyrz3 no problem man. That’s what it’s all about! You’ll love being tuned. Makes a nice difference!

[@LaenPvP]

Are you going to get the Mark. III Tesla screen? The clarity and brightness are insane on it. I'm thinking of budgeting for it down the road.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

It looks really nice but I doubt I’ll do that. Really just looking at making this thing perform and not necessarily worried about the luxury parts.

[@LaenPvP]

@@SpeedCultureStudios Sounds good. It's definitely pricey. Although there's potentially a full android experience using the top screen for just over 100$ that is being talked about on the Q50/Q60 AV FB group. Typically those are like 300-400$ so I'm curious to see what it is.

[@Vhr37z]

Maybe Carbon Front End or Carbon Trunk . Budget friendly car . Real slick ! Kind of want a Q50 AWD .. not sure 2.0 or 3.7 since I own a 370 already ..

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Don’t waste time on the 2.0! Thanks for the ideas!

[@bva2321]

The only thing i wanted to see in the list and it's not there... the trunk lift supports. Where did you get them ?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Oh they are there. 17:17! I got them on amazon. Check out the link in the description. I’m pretty sure I have them in the accessories section!

[@bva2321]

Yes, heard you say amazon but didn't see the link. If yours work well, then they've been tested. I want those, ha

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

B VA I guess I didn’t have them linked. I believe they are these: amzn.to/2uFlD25

[@bva2321]

That's awesome. You're the man ! Thank you. It's all in the details... these weak trunk supports have bugged the snot out of me.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

B VA me too! Couldn’t stand it.

[@rbennett_F82]

Question! Knowing what you know now with all the installed mods, IF you can start ALL over from stock, what parts/mods would you start with to give you optimized performance? I know you mentioned the HFC were huge for you. But if you can start from scratch, where would you start first for the added gains?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

That’s a great question man. I think I would do springs and sway bars first with wheels and tires to follow shortly after. Or possibly wheels and tires first with springs and sway bars right after. And I’d do paddle shifters right away too. Definitely biggest impact parts.

[@rbennett_F82]

@@SpeedCultureStudios That's a pretty solid start. Noe for the HP gain, would you recommend getting HFC's to start followed by Test pipes and exhaust? How would you prioritize those mods, if at all?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Roshelle Bennett Well I think one of the most important elements of a car is a nice sounding exhaust. If you’re worried about emissions I’d suggest High Flow Cats. They are also easier to deal with in terms of rasp. Test pipes can be raspy because they remove the cats, so you have to be careful with your catback. But I’ve seen hfc make almost as much lower as test pipes.

[@rbennett_F82]

@@SpeedCultureStudios Awesome! Good Intel, my man!

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

[@LayzeLyfe]

I have a Q50 RS myself and I like your vids. Idea for a vid, show us what times you are getting (since you already have a Draggy). An idea for mods, maybe some gauges like for temps and such.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I’ve done a bunch of dragy vids. Can’t do any more until I get tires because I am not getting any grip! When I get new tires then we’ll get some more dragy vids! I have t thought about getting any gauges, but we will see what happens!

[@GamingWitRad]

Seen 3.7 and left

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Why? A majority of the mods I lost in the vid work for the 3.0t as well. Suspension, exhaust (except test pipes), sway bars, brakes, interior accessories...almost everything transfers to the 3.0.

[@isaacramirez1923]

I went back to some of your older vids and was wondering if you ever figured out why you couldn't get back to sub 5secs 0-60 times? I'm getting ready to more or less use a similar set up to yours on a 2013 g37. Thanks for testing out and keeping up the channel with consistent content.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Well...spinning for 30+ feet is not helping lol. Sticky tires coming!

[@mariodeherrera2380]

This has probably been answered but I couldn’t find it. What’s the HP and Torque difference between the 2.25 and 2.5 pipes? I love the sound of the 2.5 but I also want my power!! Thank you.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I made 333/284 with the 2.25 I made 334/276 with the 2.5

[@WhoIsNC]

I'm noticing that a lot of Q50 owners are doing 255/40/19 instead of the 245. Is there a reason for that? Does it handle better that way?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

It’s 10mm wider so it gets more grip generally.

[@WhoIsNC]

Speed Culture Studios Ahh got you. Thanks a lot! 🙌🏾

[@randomlybruh]

Ebay is my friend as well.. lol anyway, I was considering the RSR superdowns but honestly didn't want to go that low because my q50 is a daily as well. How do the tein s tech handle going over speed bumps and steep driveways?

They are fine. Just have to be careful with crazy angles.

[@ricci169]

Ok I had made a comment on the exhaust being louder in sport . Mine is most definitely louder steady speed , acceleration and under partial load . I'm thinking sport changes the vvt and in turn changes valves opening and makes exhaust louder . What are your thoughts

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I don’t notice any difference at all. Your hypothesis makes sense. Whether it’s true or not I don’t know. I could see because the rpm climbs faster it might seem louder. I don’t know really.

[@jordanbrunetto1]

Great videos sick car very informational! You should do a 1/4 time video at the drag strip 🔥

Soul function braces are on the list

[@tt092979]

Nice content great mods, maybe you could add the Motordyne intake manifold just for kicks

Thanks a lot! I’m not going to add an intake manifold just for kicks lol. That’s like $500-$600 for nothing haha. I wish they actually added some power-then I’d consider it!

[@leythstar1909]

I just purchased the 2016 Infiniti Q50 3.0 Sport, can I use the same modifications you did on ur 2015 to my 2016 car?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

For the most part except test pipes and intakes/filters. Suspension should work but you might want to look into it. Exhaust could work too. I’m not 100% sure if the strut bar works or not.

[@felixherrera8939]

Nicee!

Hey man quick question my q50 just has the navigation on how can I turn it off and put the clock

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I’m not sure. I don’t have navigation so I can’t tell you what the options are.

[@Jay-le7gh]

somewhere in the settings there’s an option to leave the clock on instead of the navigation

[@jasonhamm7966]

you cant. if you have nav then you cannot have just upper clock. you can get that clock on upper screen to disappear in settings, which when you turn off the display, also keeps the entire top part pitch black.
