Cool video .This is why people should learn how to do the work themselves.I’m not a mechanic but I definitely can swap out an engine or trans myself .Saves you a shitload of money .Windows squeaks add silicon spray done 👍👍👍
Sometimes you can lubricate the track that the window rides in and that helps with friction. Other times you just need to replace the tired window motor.
I love the whole video, but with my brightness turned all the way up, I still find the whole video to be dark, idk if it's a filter, but just though I'd leave this comment here, so you can hopefully look into it, other than that, great video man! Love what you did with your Q50!
I have tints and I don’t experience that. Because at the dealer they can lubricate the rubber seals in the windows ad sunroof and then your good. Otherwise that sticking will burn the window motor out.
It will still do it about 3weeks after getting it greased. I had mine greased at dealership one day(years ago) and it was nice for about a month, maybe. Then all problems came back, slow roll up, and squeaking when wet
2016 q50 3.0t here I felt you on the whole windows being slow ass hell My driver window got stuck like yours before window tint. So I believe there’s a defect in the window motors.
Look i am 46 year old every car i owned i alway like them no excuses my q50s been with me for a 8 months no excuses i love every single parts even when not working very well
Clearly you didn’t watch the entire video … I specifically said I used the word “dislike” and NOT “hate” bc that’s a strong word…..not everything is perfect …. All cars have their cons but I bought it knowing I’ll be able to deal and fix these issues later on. That’s why I bought the car 😁….this video is mainly for people to know what issues to expect when buying the Q50
Bro I got the same issue on my 2019 with 5% tints shits embarrassing when it rain in palm beach and I have to roll down the window at the drive thru making that squeaking sound
I have thought about it…maybe later on I’ll try a turbo setup when I have money to build or swap the trans but rn I’m just trying to keep it as a clean/reliable daily…..stock VQ transmission can’t handle more than 400 tq before failing….definitely need to get a GTR at some point as well though
Valvebody what? Trash?? LOL. Treat your G like a Z and you'll end up with "trash", everywhere across the car. 6 years with the car, G is 9 years old, seen hell in Canadian Winters its whole life, 113k miles / 183k km. Stock valvebody. If you understand line pressure, shift points and partial/full torque converter locking, your 7AT will last. If you don't... "have money saved on the side, be prepared for that" as this guy says. 😅
who said anything about a G? This is a common issue on the 3.7 Q50 😂😂😂…….it’s a KNOWN common issue on the 3.7 Q50. Just simply type into google “q50 3.7 valve body issue” and everything comes up.
@@Mahamotives LOL. No recall? No TSB? Then NOTHING comes up. Same exact 7AT, different converter - bigger on the Q50. Known issue my @ss, are you even aware of how many Nissan/Infiniti models have had this exact valvebody in their trans since 2008? What, the design flaw goes back to 2008 somehow and only the 2014-15 Q's have been affected?? Your research is highly suspect. 🙃 I've been driving VQ's since 2010.
@@jacquesc3166 there is an actual service bulletin from Infiniti to replace the valve body lmao.. goes to show what you actually know but have a great day 😂😂

just subbed, really enjoyed the video tbh. buying my 3.7 in january. about to watch your previous videos. hope you keep the build.
Thank you! Welcome to the fam 🤙🏽 and yes I’m planning to keep it and add on more cars later on 😁

Yea I’ll try that soon
Use “silicone wd-40” , it does a good job

2016 q50 3.0t here
I felt you on the whole windows being slow ass hell
My driver window got stuck like yours before window tint. So I believe there’s a defect in the window motors.
Use silicone spray ….. I bought it from autozone specific for windows and it helped A LOT…. Spray it in the tracks and around the window sills
Maha what about that silver trim that starts to peel ..it's around the window things and the center ..add that to your list
Yup forgot those….mine are starting to come off too!
I've had 3 infinites. M37, G37 and Q50. NEVER had the issues you talking about.
Must be nice 😂
Do you have the sport version?
I just bought a 2015 Q50 3.7 Premium Last week 🙏
Mine is a premium as well
bro i feel u on the trunk it’s so heavy
Unnecessarily heavy 😂😂😂
Bro I thought something was wrong when I felt that shit
@Odean Gray try new struts ? My 14 goes up real easy.
Need struts replaced in the trunk I had mine’s replaced
Definitely doing it soon
I had the first issue that you mentioned and the problem was my valve body
What mileage does it happen at? Cause I’m looking into a 3.7 as well
Around 80k-100k
I have a 3017 3.0t at 50k miles and I’m having that issue where it lags and hesitates to shift / shifts at high rpm’s
Damn, didn’t know the 3.0t’s had that issue too
is there anything else besides the valve body you think i should consider mechanically before buying one? i'm in the market for one of these now
Just test drives it, and test the manual mode to see if all gears are shifting smooth…ask for history report too
🔥
Appreciate you fam 🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽
I have the 2014 and tints I think your tints are to thick, also the Q50 does not do well in hot temps in long term which is wild.
My valve body just went out so I swapped to a VR30😂😂😂
Vr30 trans?
I have a brand new spare valve body sitting in the shop. Lol
What year is the car?
2015
Look i am 46 year old every car i owned i alway like them no excuses my q50s been with me for a 8 months no excuses i love every single parts even when not working very well
I love mine as well….just nitpicking certain things that are common on the Q’s 😂😂 for those who are looking to get one
It is just for RUclips content. Calm Down.
1320 motorsports down in kendall can do it
Yo you stay in the west palm beach area feel like I’ve seen you around
Nah I’m about 45 mins north of palm beach…I go to cars and coffee sometimes though
Hood is tuff! Where’d you get it?
Appreciate it bro and it’s from Carbon Creations
My q50 was fun while I had it! Never did a dislike or Like video. I should have!
What car you have now??
@@Mahamotives went to a m56 sport. I will post a video maybe about the jump from q50 to m56
@@curryshotyou1538 DO IT !!! Talk about the differences and similarities you noticed when switching, ect
@@Mahamotives I will thanks for the motivation
@@curryshotyou1538 just subscribed, I’ll be on the look out for it 💪🏽💪🏽
Do you have blind spot detection on your q
Nope
Yeah my trunk is the same way.
It sounds like you need some window motors
So besides the valve body issue, you knew what the car had before you bought it. If you “hated” all those things why did you buy it?
Clearly you didn’t watch the entire video … I specifically said I used the word “dislike” and NOT “hate” bc that’s a strong word…..not everything is perfect ….

If I didn’t watch the entire video I wouldn’t know the things you talked about now would I?
please go to 16:53 …. Clearly stated “ These are things I do not hate, just dislike about the car” … and they are fixable things 😊
I don't have that window squeak and mine doesn't go up or down that slow.
And mine is tinted
Think they fixed that issue in the newer ones
My windows motors are fast and silent on my 14 q 3.7, maybe I need of new motors.
I was told silicone spray helps….might do a video on that soon
What color is that?? Car looks 🔥
OEM Venetian Ruby
OEM Venetian Ruby
Have the same color
What tint do you have its the perfect amount of tint im looking for
5% all around 15 windshield
Bro I got the same issue on my 2019 with 5% tints shits embarrassing when it rain in palm beach and I have to roll down the window at the drive thru making that squeaking sound
I get weird looks sometimes lmao
U don’t get pulled over wit 5% in palm beach?
@@jamydaniel9543 I turn on my interior light if I see one
What 5:50 what mileage does the valve body go out?
From what I’ve heard the common mileage is around 80k ….. mine went out around 90k
How much was the transmission problem?
$3,100 OEM brand new from dealer and installed
Where u get the sport bumper?
eBay …. Checkout my unboxing video all links are in that description
Did you ever fix the valve body problem ?
Yup …. Dealer did everything for $3,100
