QZILLA - 811whp Infiniti Q50. 6MT swapped VQ37VHR. Intro and break in

You had me at 800 HP to the wheels but the fact that it is a manual transmission as well is just icing on the cake.

[@xcaliburG37S]

Got me on that bandwagon! This is sick! Good job on figuring out. For others you are going to rebuild or modify yesteryears 400 hp is todays 800 hp. When i rebuild mine my goal is 1200hp. Too many rides in Miami pushing 500+

Should I get a 2018 q50 35,000 miles salvage title ? It’s my first time looking into q50s and I really want one but if a salvage title isn’t recommended I will wait for a clean just thought that was a good deal . the auto place said they will show me pictures and report of why the salvage occurred supposedly they said a small dent on the front rear right bumper. They also have a 2016 q50 salvage 30,000 miles for 18k . what do u guys recommend?

If INFINITI had just made this car with the manual transmission and 450 HP they would still have people lusting after their cars. Instead they are close to bankruptcy.

[@pikachupowers]

Everyone who says Infiniti should build this infiniti should build that blah blah are the ones who will never be able to afford what they say they want. Infiniti tries to market and build vehicles that sell. Building this 450hp car that almost no one will want to buy is exactly what will bankrupt the brand.

[@IReahpZz]

Bought a q60 Redsport and traded it a year later for a Kia stinger gt. Best decision I made 😂 they can't make a proper sports car man. They're washed up and also 62k for 400 hp and a sub par interior and let's not talk about how many major issues I had in under 18k miles lol. I'll never buy an infiniti again 😂

I love your Q50 and love the 6mt conversion man! Very nice! Unfortunately, the worst thing you can do is throw any manual transmission vehicle into neutral when the car is moving. When I was in CDL school they gave you one warning about doing that. The second time you did it, you were kicked out with no $8,000.00 refund. It happened to two students in my class. No matter the vehicle, that is a terrible habit to be in. Whoever taught you to drive stick taught you wrong, unless you picked up the habit on your own?

[@ls6king316]

TxBoostLife Could you have ran a TH400?

[@txboostlife]

ls1killa Yes, but the overall gear ratio wouldn’t work with my setup. The R190 diff on the Q50 isn’t interchangeable with the G/Z so currently there isn’t any different ratios available. Replacing the entire rear subframe from a G/Z is possible but the suspension and axles would have to be changed also. So long story short, yeah it can be done but I don’t want to right now.

[@elijb3102]

Do you have a full list of your mods? I have a G37 (AT) with exhaust, e85 and tune. I've always been skeptical about the stillen supercharger kit, all you did was replace the blower, upgrade injectors, build engine bottom end, upgrade coolant, upgrade transmission. I would not want my setup to be manual. Since your upgraded (AT) transmission failed, what would you recommend for G37 (AT) transmission build?
