WHY I CHOSE THE 3.7 OVER THE 3.0T (Q50) 

Very true

How reliable are the transmissions on the 3.7’s? I’ve heard they’re not that great

@@minifly4926 The TCM's go bad, but it's easy to replace. That's the only problem with those transmissions. But for some reason my 7AT is at 156k miles with original everything including fluid and shifts perfectly so idk how common the issue really is.

Well said Fam …. VQ all day 💪🏽

Appreciate the support fam, definitely got more coming🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Then I’ve went 3.0……or if they kept the 3.7 and boosted it 🔥

True

@@Mahamotives they did it with the newer ones I send a 3.7 that was twin turbo

Exactly

If the 3.0t had 3.7s reliability in would of been 🔥🔥🔥 too, even tho im thinking bout to buying a 3.0t 2020 q50💀💀💀

Eyyyy appreciate the support fam ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

3.7 never disappoints ✊🏽✊🏽

Yea dealers out here robbing sometimes …. For a daily my 3.7 is perfect

I got fleeced for mine but Goddam they almost got you 😭

@@itsbigglo5160 - howww? What your story bro

@@dcmasta123 how many miles was on your Q?

Bro I had a 2015 silver q40 I loved that car bro it sounded so much better then any q50 idk if I got my car modded or something tho lol😂 the car came with illegal ass tints..

One of the best sounding V6’s fr 💪🏽💪🏽

Appreciate that homie and yea I have a friend with an R35 and side by side is almost identical except obviously without the turbo noises

Lmk how it goes and what the total cost is…..definitely considering doing that too

Also curious how much that ran you if you don't mind

Hoping to track mine at the end of the month I expect it be slower than the 7AT but I don’t care, it’s about the fun for me I would rather run a low thirteen than a high 12 to stay competitive

Glad I could help fam ✊🏽✊🏽 which one did you decide on?

I seen some of those modded and they look/sound cleannn

RHD ?? Nice !!!

Yup those tiny turbos aren’t that strong

Yessirrr 💪🏽💪🏽

Nice! Congrats!

Well almost the whole video lol

😂😂😂😂 bro, traffic in my city is getting worse every day now

Appreciate the support and welcome to the fam 💪🏽💪🏽

I bought the paddle kit from eBay … I have a full install video on my channel….and 370z’s are lighter and supposed to be more performance driven from factory compared to the Q…so yea they’ll have a little more than us but still same motor

Valve body cost me 3,500 from the dealer with install

Check out one of my recent videos here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YMEIJ-Gbocc.html

3.5 hybrids are bosses off the line…they pull harder from a dig than both 3.7 and 3.0 bc of that electric motor … just bare in mind if that hybrid battery goes out, it’s pretty expensive to replace and you basically have no trunk space bc of the battery … just have money saved up for that replacement …. And tuning options are limited with the hybrid … I’m not too sure if tuners are able to tune the 3.5

Depends on the car itself….bought mine with 85k because everything was documented on the history report, all services were done by the dealer. And my actual mechanic got it in at his dealership so he was able to inspect everything for me beforehand. No accident and clean history. Always best to try and get a low mileage car but if you find one with higher miles, just make sure it’s clean. Hire a mechanic to inspect it if you have to.

Nice man congrats!! 💪🏽💪🏽

How you like the 5.0?

5.0 🤮

Very true……..a lot of people do 10k+ on oil changes which can causes damage later on like you said

Oil changes are so cheap I still do every 3k-4k miles for my 3.7 just for peace of mind

I do mine every 4k miles. I take it to infiniti for an oil change. Plus I have the ams heat exchanger. My ride been running nice and smooth at 79k miles

get financed before you go

@@imbrion7981 I second this 👍🏽

The 3.7s made after 2012 are bulletproof. Will last forever with 5k mile synthetic oil changes and other fluids. Pre 2012 3.7s have potential Gallery Gasket failure causing oil leaks inside the timing cover. Then again, I have a 2009 G37 with 160k+ miles on it's original Gallery Gaskets and it's not showing any signs of issues. Just check for evidence of maintenance and rust for the 2014 Q50... U won't be dissappointed

As he said above ….. keep up on the maintenance…full synthetic oil change every 5k miles, 91 or above octane fuel only, use oem parts when swapping stuff like coil packs, spark plugs, ect. And the car will last very long….seen some 3.7s on the fb page well above 200k miles no issues

for real i bought my 2014 Q50s at the end of last summer with around only 20-25k miles on it at the time (45 000 km), only downside is that I have rust on the subframe and under the car but I will get it fixed up, and most probably sandblasted and treated for rust protection, because I live in Quebec, Canada and we got salty winters and it had completely destroyed my factory exhaust so now I run catless downpipes and a full custom 3,5 inch exhaust with resonators and mufflers, I had no choice because everything was rusted out on my factory exhaust😅 but we are good now, waiting for a tune soon and I will be back in business and even stronger than before, i’m now at around 30k miles on it and I freaking love this car, and the sound is crazy when you get the right exhaust setup for it, it has such a deep resonated tone🔥🔥

Depends on how it’s running……if it’s running perfect don’t change it. I changed mine around 100k miles which is around the average time you should change it if you’re stock…..if you’re tuned and running the flame map a lot then swap the plugs more frequently

My valve body went out around 90k miles…. No issues after the replacement just make sure you get it done with oem new replacement from the dealer

Mine went out at just over 50k miles. It was almost 4000 to fix. Thank god I bought the warranty. Only cost me 100 dollar deductible

You won’t see 500 hp on 3.7 unless you go forced induction……3.0t will cost a lot less to hit 500…..just FBO tune e85 on 3.0 you’re at 500 or close to it

You give up reliability when you go 3.0 vs 3.7 though

@@Mahamotives in the vr community how is the reliability on MOST vr30's youve seen? i have a 70mm on my 3.8 and just recenetly got into an accident. looking at some q50's. theres a redsport for 24k near me im looking at. I see a lot of issues with the turbos. id like your input

@@210_bk2- turbos go out usually around 100,000 miles or less.. just be prepared bro to give dealership that bag. I can’t afford a red sport maintenance every few months or keep changing turbos so I have my 3.7 still

@@dcmasta123 good news, insurance is going through with the repairs on my car. So much less stressed out.

I’m with him never been a turbo fan and if so get top tier gtr no Infinti is getting to that level unless u eating up ur engine

Would u recommend the 370 or the 3.0t q??

Around 320 with just test pipes and full exhaust

@@Mahamotives ight thanks

3.0ts have nice potential……and yea 3.0 can get away with straight pipes and still sound good … us 3.7s is rasp/trumpet city if we do that 😂😂

Dollars per horsepower…3.0t will be more cost efficient and get you to higher hp for less. VQ will cost more to build for little gains but will be more reliable at the end of the day if you do it correctly with the supporting mods

@@Mahamotives I am going for 800 hp and 6/700 of torque Will it be cheaper to go with a 3.7 and do all the work that’s need to hold that power or just go with a 3.0t and go all out on that?

@@mehdibourkiza2486 for those numbers go 3.0t or even better save for a GTR

@@mehdibourkiza2486 you’ll have to swap the trans with a 3.0t trans or even manual from a 370z, to even handle the power on a 3.7

Correct

That’s gonna need to be done through Infiniti …. I mostly just use my phone for navigation since it’s the most updated

I’ve seen these motors reach well above 200k miles …. All depends how well maintained the car was kept, oil change, plugs, ect. Keep on top on maintenance and it should last a good amount of time

Unless you have apple car play I don’t believe you can change it

Check out the video I did on it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5XB5n5tlA1s.html

@@Mahamotives thanks appreciate it ❤️ And just subscribed 🙂

Believe they have the Ark exhaust for that too … love my Ark exhaust

It was because of test pipes

I personally did a muffler delete and kept everything else stock for a while until I saved up for a full exhaust and test pipes

@@Mahamotives cool thanks man

I just hope they fixed all those issues with the 400z. I know too many VR30 owners personally that all had problems.

I’ve had my q50 3.0t almost 2 years now bought it 30k miles and now sitting at 78k miles. No issues whatsoever and maintained it on time. The 370z on other hand has valve cover issue lat of the time oil leaks and miss fire all the time common problems with vq 3.7. I had 370z 6 speed manual. since 2015 up until it got hit 2021 and switch to q50 3.7 awd s. Quick car but over all 3.0t is the one for me.

RWD you’ll be able to do a burnout/slide the car (have more fun)….if you live somewhere where it snows, definitely AWD but you won’t be able to do a burnout without disabling AWD system ( Not safe don’t recommend) …. Also keep in mine you’ll have to tune on a AWD dyno or get street tuned if you plan on increasing performance … also you can’t lower your car too much on AWD suspension…..axels tend to snap over time and you might also get vibrations after lowering

That would be dope 🔥🔥

MPGs went down now Lmao I’m around 17 now

Idk about way faster but yeah

@@devonniewatson5601 wayyyyy faster

@@6mtG stock for stock no. When I was stocked I raced them all the time and they’re not way faster relax. Now I’m a little tuned so it just depends on what we got done and who got more done

@@devonniewatson5601 I’m relaxed buddy 😂and only way we stand a chance is them stock they get down pipes and tune and we done 😂😂😂

@@6mtG That's just the reality of boosted cars, but I'm not mad at it. Stock for Stock the 3.7 wins and most cars you gonna see are stock.

Ark grip non resonated exhaust with Berk resonated test pipes

Added them and I did a full install video right here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5XB5n5tlA1s.html

Those are nice too ✊🏽

Maintenance should be about the same but just that possibility of blowing a motor/turbos/belts on a daily doesn’t sit right with me 😂😂

Damn man

Yessirrr 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

I installed paddle shifters… it didn’t come stock with it

I believe it’s a light metal not plastic

If I’m just chillin/cruising I’ll be in standard, if I wanna have a lil fun I’ll put it in sport….just depends on where I am and traffic…..I’m almost always in manual mode though

Is it true certain drive modes change exhaust how loud it is or not ?

@@floodedap9683 slightly ……sport mode keeps the rpm’s higher in the powerband, so they exhaust might have a louder tone

Full Ark non-resonated CBE with Berk resonated test pipes

@@Mahamotives nice set up bro

@@keithjay4944 appreciate it Fam 💪🏽💪🏽

You’ll get it ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

Ark Catback exhaust with berk resonated test pipes

They come in AWD too but kinda harder to find

@@MahamotivesI mean…the G37X are AWD

Appreciate it fam ✊🏽✊🏽

Love the sound of mine…. Had it next to my friend’s R35 the other night and it sounded pretty close

Chill 😂

Stock for stock … top end power, the 3.7 will start pulling ahead…..but off a dig, 3.0t has more torque and will pull harder from the line

@@vonhylton lmaooooo sorry🤣

I have a awd 2015 3.7-328 hp, on google looked at every year 3.7/3.0t I have more than the newer 3.0t 🤤, obviously not the 400z engine

Appreciate you homie
