Watch BEFORE Buying Z1 Motorsports Diff Brace Q50/Q60

[@wolfpack9695]

I really appreciate your content man, thank you. I'm picking up my Q from AMS on Tuesday and the Z1 brace was one of the toys getting installed. Love your Q!

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Thank you! Picking up from AMS eh?? Going to be a different animal from when you dropped it off??

[@wolfpack9695]

@@SpeedCultureStudios yes sir! RA600 package, driveshaft, LSD, AWD Controller! So stoked, you were/are a huge inspiration! Thank you!

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

@@wolfpack9695 Sounds awesome! Keep me posted. WOuld love to hear your reaction to the new setup!

[@wolfpack9695]

@@SpeedCultureStudios Hey man - picked up my car earlier this week from AMS and drove back to Denver. It’s legit a brand new car, the but what’s more impressive is how quick the power transfer is now. The rear LSD + CF driveshaft combo is insane. Let me know if you ever come to Denver!!

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

@@wolfpack9695 sounds awesome! I will definitely let you know if I am out that way. Hope to visit a customer out there this summer actually

[@BasedF-15Pilot]

I picked up one of these thanks to your vids. Just in case Z1 is watching. I havent installed it yet cause I might cerakote it since I am doing a lot of other things like slides and motorcycle crank cases.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Ah that would be cool!

just picked up my q50 a couple weeks ago, ready to start playing around with her soon

Definitely must do .. night & day difference.

Will this help if my bushing is already toast?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

It will help but it’s not a replacement if you know what I mean.

[@hawaiiancitizen2876]

@@SpeedCultureStudios I gotcha.

[@XANTA19]

Bro this is literally me trying to avoid the bushing. I think im going with the brace and send it

[@hawaiiancitizen2876]

@@XANTA19 exactly what I’m doing now. Really don’t feel like dealing with that lol

[@inyczgq]

Is this only beneficial for RWD or is it suitable for AWD?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Still good for awd. Helps stabilize the rear diff

[@brooksbrooks8060]

Ive seen a review on the z1 website where if you have a fast intentions exhaust, the braces bolts will make contact with the pipes. That sucks because i really want to get one. I might get one anyway and see if i can make it work.

[@Lord_Pilaf]

Hey did you ever end up getting this brace? I have the same exhaust so i'm wondering if it can work on my car.

[@brooksbrooks8060]

@@Lord_Pilaf no I ended up getting the pride brace, which mounts at a different location and fits nicely.

[@trereese77]

Always dope Q50 content!

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Really appreciate it Tre!

[@rickyricardo9166]

Got it! Great clip, I like the fact that you are clear explaining the results and your opinion which I value!! 👍

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Try to provide proper insight!

[@rickyricardo9166]

That you do!!

[@supradoom]

I had so much wheel hop when I took my car to the track. I am putting in a z1 lsd with 4.08 gears, new z1 rear subframe bushings, subframe collars, and a rear diff brace. Should be quite nuts!

[@gods1hell1spawn10011]

What model?

[@supradoom]

@@gods1hell1spawn10011 g37 sedan

[@gods1hell1spawn10011]

@@supradoom I'm trying to put lsd on my g37x awd right. On the rear diff because I pull the fuse to disengage the front diff to do donuts but I cannot figure it out .. I have no idea how to accomplish this ..

[@supradoom]

@@gods1hell1spawn10011 I have a RWD/6MT car so none of those issues for me! Liked my previous X too though.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Sounds awesome! Wish we could do gearing change in the Q!

[@dwillia6351]

I would be worried about adding this brace. Wouldn't it put more wear on the subframe bushings? I heard that you cannot even buy new subframe bushings and you would have to replace it as a whole unit.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

No it shouldn’t. It reduces movement so should be less wear, but you can install bushing collars for more support.

[@BlkHwkGator]

Awesome video man!

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Thanks a lot for watching!

[@ssjzin]

Does this fit the AWD model or is it needed?

[@gods1hell1spawn10011]

I need this lol I love doing donuts in my G37x, me too curious. Gona check out z1

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I believe it does fit awd-thought I had seen someone in the FB groups mention it. I’d call Z1 first to confirm

[@StormAutoAdventures]

Hey man, it's been a while... Your channel is getting really big! I haven't posted a video in a while, and won't until I get another car... I still may go for another Q50 or maybe a Q60... But a fully loaded, minus AWD, and bone stock, 2019 Q50S or Q60S RS400 RWD with under 35k miles on it. For 2020+ they got rid of the performance pages, and many other features and pages on the bottom screen unfortunately. Plus some 2018's still have the belt, and some other issues that were fixed by 2019. That's why I want a '19 instead of an '18 or a '20+. The brace looks great by the way! I can definitely see a difference! Good choice going with Z1 Motorsports in Georgia not far from my house. They have amazing parts, and do great work.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Good to hear from you man! q60 would be awesome!

[@StormAutoAdventures]

@@SpeedCultureStudios Thanks. I keep coming back to wanting another Q50/Q60 not long after I start researching other cars lol. Hey, I posted like at least 4 comment attemps via reply here, and in the comments section because none of them were going through. They were kind of long too, and I just checked... Of course they're not there again lol. Maybe they're in your coments that were not approved in your settings? Between having to send four comments when I only wanted to send one, they took quite a while to text on my phone, so I hope you will be able to check on that when you get a chance? Every other comment on other pages before and after those four have gone through. Thanks in advance, -Chris

[@johnz6957]

Got a lot of wheel spin on the left drive drive tire. Any know what this is about? Awd Infiniti Q50 2014

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Nature of the open diff unfortunately.

[@gods1hell1spawn10011]

I assume the g37 one works just the same. Looks completely different

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Works in the same way but different subframe and different rear diff so the braces are slightly different

[@coly0226]

Great content. Very useful info.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Really appreciate you watching!

Bolt on the right looks loose

I bought a solid diff bushing

[@dom_z3480]

I used z1 solid diff bushings cause mine exploded. I couldn’t do the wheel hop. Though it was probably my best investment tbh

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Waiting on a diff bushing for the Q!

[@dom_z3480]

@@SpeedCultureStudios it’s totally worth it, a polyurethane one is probably nice, but I went full solid.

Berger is 10x better than the Chinese crap Z1 sells ..lol

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

😂 The Berger brace is not bad but it is certainly no better than the z1 brace.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Nothing against Berger-I’ve used them on other platforms, but I’ve purchased a $40 catch can off Amazon that was EXACTLY the same as Bergers so…

[@shawnbalch6046]

Anything cast is going to be 20x stronger than something that is bent or welded together. This was explained in the video.

[@ndoaarnae24k]

Do these work with Q40? I have 2015 Q40 looking to make a list of mods to buy

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

The Q40 may still have the G37 rear end--In that case, you can find the G37 options. I would just check with Z1 to confirm as I am not certain.
