The ONE q50 Part I’d buy IMMEDIATELY

[@82mjoseph]

I like how you keep doing q50 videos

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

People keep asking questions so we’ll keep the videos coming. Still a lot of info and insight to share.

[@064DW]

@@SpeedCultureStudioscan you give me the name of the car and year and an updated parts list so I won’t be running through money cause stuff not working wanna have fun but not have to keep fixing stuff either

[@videomaniac108]

I just got that kit for my 370z 6MT sport pkg and pulled the trigger when the price dropped last week. I also put a set of G-loc GS-1 pads on all corners. I then flushed the system with Motul RBF 600 to finish the job. I had already replaced the OEM Rays forged 19" wheels with a set of forged monoblock magnesium wheels. This took off about 9 lbs from each wheel and made a noticeable improvement in handling, comfort and response. After I put on the Akebono two-piece rotors, I shaved an additional 10 lbs from each of the front wheels and 5 lbs from each of the rear wheels. The result was quite a dramatic improvement in the response, and comfort over bumps and road irregularities. Very little driveline shock is now transmitted through the suspension and into the chassis. The springs and shocks now control the wheel motion more easily. The car is very responsive doing abrupt lane changes. With the wheels, aluminum lug nuts and two-piece rotors, I have taken off about 80 lbs of unsprung rotational weight. My estimate is that that is roughly equivalent to having taken off about 160 lbs of static sprung weight. My seat of the pants feel on the improvement in the acceleration supports this. I also replaced my OEM anti-sway bars with Stiffer Hotchkis bars, as you did. The combination of lighter wheels, brake rotors and stiffer bars has made a significant improvement in the handling of an already good handling car. Next up, Z1 chassis braces that I have already bought and am going to install.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

You got a good plan going!

[@jonathanrodriguez8296]

Just got my q last month amazing videos

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Congrats! I have about 500 q specific vids covering a lot of topics. Hope you find something useful!

[@stephenprice9635]

I think I’m gonna look for a convertible G37 in the next year. Really want a fun car to corner and have the top down in the mountains.

[@chevy9648]

I’m a lexus GS 350 F-sport owner and I wish I own a Q50 just to do and install ur recommendations for parts and modifications 👍🏼.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Thanks for checking in!

[@danduhman1955]

I have them in my cart,but Z1 said they wouldn’t fit my Q70. Weight class

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Ah interesting.

[@acm_1028]

The clip at 1:25 sounds like it has a cvt. And wow that is a huge discount, they probably don't sell much at $1600. I think for most of us a 30 pound unsprung reduction isn't worth it, maybe if you go to track days or autocross events but not for a daily. Even though it could potentially help fuel economy, mine is 13.6 so it can't be saved.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

It does sort of sound like a cvt but I think it was a combo of throttle input and also getting traction after spinning for 60 feet lol. Yeah you wouldn’t likely notice much performance out of the rotors in daily driving but if you do any spirited driving or carve canyons from time to time, they’ll definitely be helpful.

[@thatdude8740]

Ok Bro because your so thorough and I really did love the 3.7 before I got my Acura TL...I put my order in 2015 Q50 Sport (Only bcuz cant beat the $ or id get the Premium..my only quest. (May sound crazy) if I wanted a more comfortable ride instead of performance is there a way?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

It’s a comfortable ride in stock form.

[@BARROSSQUAD]

I’m 15 looking to buy a 3.7 q50 sport as soon as I turn 16 what do you think?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I think it’s awesome!

[@MartinLopez-qn4jz]

What full exhaust set up do you recommend for best performance. 3.7

[@judo_198]

Look up SCS exhaust

[@judo_198]

Or Motordyne

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I mentioned it in the video 😂

[@MartinLopez-qn4jz]

@@judo_198 I seen the video but I only see the resonators, and muffler pipes not y pipe and the rest . (Idk too much on exhaust systems aswell so I’m a bit confused 😄)

[@syesworld5506]

What do you think about a jb4 on a fully stock 2021 q50 luxe

[@acm_1028]

That 450 hp package looks like a good deal, SCS and myself both went to Soho motorsports for a dyno tune but that was pretty expensive

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Ona turbo car, you can pull some good power with just software so if you’re looking for just a little bit more grunt, it’s not bad.

[@CreatorKwam]

No dont jb4 its just a boost controller and doesn’t dial in the entire engine it just overworks the already weak turbos

[@ljk.]

i’m planning on getting a 2018+ q50 to daily, how’s the general reliability and what can i do to maximize it?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

2018+ is good. I’d personally gravitate toward 2019+ if you can. Treat it right and keep up with maintenance. They are good cars

[@ljk.]

@@SpeedCultureStudiosgotcha, thanks for the response!

[@gloy1592]

i just got the z1 big brake it

[@BADMAN-SJ]

Do a video about Q50 depreciation u can get a 2020 for 20k now

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I’ve sort of done those talking about buying and selling and why prices are low, but might be time for an update!

[@ovidejesus]

My question is what make you get rid of your Q50 the reason why I am asking is because I have a 2015 Q50 Sport I'm thinking to get me a SUV but I love my Q50S too much only 80,000 Mile

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I sold because I like cars and don’t have room to keep every car I’ve ever owned so enjoy them for awhile and move on to something. I sold the Q and got a corvette. Sold the vette and got a truck. Bought another vette and now an SQ5. I’ll sell the vette soon and get something else. It’s a never ending cycle

[@CreatorKwam]

@@SpeedCultureStudiossave up for a new Z or a newer vette honestly as a Nissan fan nothing is beating corvette for the price

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

@ not interested in the new z myself and I’ve already had a c6 corvette GS which I consider the best bang for the buck sports car. Maybe a c6 zo6 or a c7 down the road. Probably have a Porsche before that though.

[@tre2216]

do you plan on getting the 3.7 again?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Maybe 3.0t

[@juanibarra9846]

​@@SpeedCultureStudios I'm waiting for that video 👍

[@huhSHUA]

How much did you sell the q for?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

18,500. I talked about it in my sell your q50 video

[@joeyhaslam2528]

@@SpeedCultureStudioshow many miles on it when you sold it?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

@ 85,000

[@najvv]

how does one go about upgrading the base model brakes to the sport brake upgrade that you mentioned so I can use these rotors?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Check out my brake upgrade video. Very simple project actually.

[@TheRealDonVerga]

I really need to get rid of these stock non sport wheels!!!!!

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Lots of good options. Check out @motorsports_la

[@BADMAN-SJ]

Man if you get a 3.0t and boost gets a 3.7 things will get spicy , if u do get a 3.0t get the Q60 or Z you already had a Q50 gotta spice things up

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Yeah I’d be interested in a Q60

[@joshrichie9833]

Yeah save the money for when you're transmission goes out

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Can’t live your life in fear.

[@dbsimms63]

Must have missed the deal they are $1149

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

It was for cyber week. Still $1150 is good!
