@@Vspec_Zilla your welcome these are compact in terms of crossover cargo space and they are on the same J50 chassis as the 370z and g37 coupe. But that being said couldnt be happier with my qx50 already have custom catback and high flow resonated cats from Fast Intentions and drop in filters now just to get it tuned to see where its at but the cats did help in the low end already.
Hey thank you! Oh man i trust your word on that, you must get a lot of snow up there! But yea for me i was really impressed how it does in the snow here
@bigden2755 oh very nice! That should be a nice comfy ride, hmm i mean i still imagine it would be pretty good in the snow but i am interested to know! So keep me posted!
I got the 2017 QX50, AWD, for an SUV with the 19" with Pilot Sports just wow! I found out DS mode, entering a sharp turn, if you blip the throttle, it selects the next gear down. You gotta try it a couple times to get the hang of it, it kicks down and you don't need to use your hands.
Very nice! We do need to get in an SUV, definitely the QX50 is on the list! That is awesome though, I'll have to give that I shot. I didn't know about that! Thank you
Man thats awesome! Not gonna lie the Grand Cherokee is one of the ones we are looking at as well. I was looking at the new full size Bronco but after looking at it, the back seat is smaller than our Q50 back seat, believe it or not. So that's off our list now lol! I appreciate the input too, thank you!
@@Vspec_Zilla from what vids I've seen the bronco is an overpriced family hauler. Competition for the 4runner? Please! Regardless anyone that brings a $70k truck down a rock strewn gully needs to throttle back with a cold one.
Looks like fun! My baby got a rude awakening here in a a couple months as I get out the military soon in July and it’s been in California it’s whole life and I will be coming back to Ohio where the winters look just like this haha!
Oh man! Yea will be a total climate change. But hey, it does do good in the snow, just get good tires of course. I was running michelin all season pilot sports and it does amazing. Also had nitto motivo in the snow and i think they did good too. Congrats on getting out soon brother
@@Vspec_Zilla I ordered some continental extreme contact dws6 tires and heard they are great all season! My q50 is also awd so it’ll be a blast in snow I’m sure
Sick video man ! Was wondering how was it to go through winter with a frontlip ? (I also have side skirts on my q50 and on stock suspension) Do you have some advice/tips to make sure that everything stands tight? Thanks
Thank you! The front lipped did pretty good, no complaints on it. I am at stock height though. I don't have side skirts but on the rear diffuser I used black caulking for like windows or bathrooms. And it works great, been holding up for several years now and makes it look like it's molded onto the bumper
@@Vspec_Zilla curious if you still have a link to your lip? been hesitant to buy one because of all the reviews saying they fly off on the highway.. since i got a good 20 miles a day at 75-85 mph...
I do not have that link anymore but I did find someone else that seems to be selling the same one, I just went to the hardware store and bought my own screws. Still holding up too lol www.ebay.com/itm/112537247796?hash=item1a33be2034:g:lMcAAOSwImRYCBp9&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAsMJZ0lsV86K21%2FDYRajc2FHq1%2FzpzPj%2FL0NaLSMqxb3nKbLebHBnFku3Yz0eiN00jSsgV8EdT4u2%2FetYdG9hM%2FsPopeOh8%2Frgb3kZf9HddkkKqbMh%2BeSplpL%2BLAKj7H1TcskUIdABsukSkOHUXrNpB4p7mkq51bczQqvOAPEXXtqC5eXVez1e%2FJPtUJ4Q7axor0wnXRtybxiMkHUE4tRznzbdX6v2hWN3c%2BiYWu41bCl%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR7Trl6L5YA
I have gotten stuck if I went into too deep of snow lol my tires weren't getting contact on the road. But anything that wasn't deeper than roughly 10inch of fresh snow I was good to go. I'm sitting on stock height too
I’m considering purchasing one of these, are you using snow tires and how is it as a daily driver, Also how is maintenance on vehicle, expensive, average, is car reliable? thanks.
Oh man that are pretty fun, highly recommend getting a sport or a red sport. The maintenance is too much more if it is above average, just usually get higher end oils. At 110k miles and doin strong and for this video I just had all season michillen pilot sports
Both good choices! My suggestion if you want to build or mod, Infiniti and Lexus are the ones to get. But if your fine with minor mods the tlx would be perfect. Hope it helps, let me know what you get!
I cant find a clean version of one of these to save my ass. Looking everywhere for a 14/15 but they are either f-boy'd out or just in terrible condition.
Oh wow thats crazy! Over on this side we get lucky to get decent snow fall that lasts a few or more days. Sometimes even a few times a year haha but most the drivers here are ill prepared and dont know what to do 😂 but anyways i hope you get to have fun in the snow this year!
Question? I just got michlin pilot sport 4 on my q60 red sport 2020 awd. Pilot sport 4 ars great in dry conditions. How does these tires handle in snow with out chains?
Heck yea nice car! What area you live in? I'm in the pnw so the snow is more of a wet snow or slush when it snows so packs on the tires a little different. But I think the tires did great, I personally didn't use chains or studs. The problem I had is if the snow got too deep for the car itself
@@Vspec_Zilla thank you for all info. It's going to be very helpful. I live up in mountains (lake arrowhead, Cali). We get decent amount of snow in winter up here. Where it's just 30 mins drive down the hill and there is no snow at all. So it's kinda tricky area/situation where I live at.
Right on, always happy to help when I can! Oh dang, well that sounds pretty cool! Little bit of different worlds on the daily, let me know how it works out for you.
Honestly it's from eBay, hard to find legit ones. I just had the clear redone when it came in. Works great and just used double sided 3m tape. Let it sit for a day with weight and it was good to go. Going on 3 years now www.ebay.com/itm/FITS-2014-18-INFINITI-Q50-HIGHKICK-CARBON-FIBER-DUCKBILL-TRUNK-LID-SPOILER-WING/192442710857?hash=item2cce7abb49:g:Kr4AAOSwObhacRby
Maybe later down the road. We use it for our family daily for the most part. Once i snag another 4 door ill do some work to it. Yea rwd would be fun in that car! I too wonder how it would be drifting like that!
My Q50 did so well when it dumped snow here in Seattle last Fed, I was really surprised!
You have a clean Q50!
Yea they do really good, that's awesome tho! And it does make going out in the snow fun lol! Thank you, greatly appreciate it!
Beautiful 😍just plane Beautiful!!!!!!!!nothing else needs to be said about your vid. Thanks for sharing 👍
Awesome, thank you very much! Appreciate the support
I have a 2015 qx50 and i does quite well in the snow. Load of fun when ever we fet a good dump of snow in Canada. Nice Q50 and sounds great.
Oh nice! We are actually looking to get an SUV as well! Thank you much !

Oh man yea that sounds fun! Yea I'll have to forsure look into that when we are ready. I really do love the platform
Dope video! Just bought a 2019 couple days ago I can’t wait for it to snow. I live in Washington also thanks for the video!
Congrats on the ride, that's awesome! You will love it, im waiting for this snow season too haha it is getting close to snowing soon I think up here
Nice that you took the time to do this.
Thank you! This one is wasnt even going to do but last minute i went for it lol
I'm rocking a 2014 Q50s AWD all season 20in tires, no issues in the snow.
Heck yea! Can't complain at all
Great video.... Had a '14 AWD Q50 and was amazing in the snow (Ottawa, Canada)... A real tank.... LOL
Hey thank you! Oh man i trust your word on that, you must get a lot of snow up there! But yea for me i was really impressed how it does in the snow here
@@Vspec_Zilla I traded the Q for AWD G37 top trim... anxious to see how it performs in the snow... NO snow on drive selector, though... We'll see ...
@bigden2755 oh very nice! That should be a nice comfy ride, hmm i mean i still imagine it would be pretty good in the snow but i am interested to know! So keep me posted!
@@Vspec_Zilla I meant *G70 ... not 37
@bigden2755 haha! Okay that makes more sense! Hahaha now thats awesome
For a car it seems very capable of handling snow
Yea it does great, tire depending as well. The only down fall really in the snow is if it gets too deep
Compared to the g37x it handles so much better in snow ❄

Does your AWD light on the dashboard turn on or flash when u push it hard on the snow?
No, I have not gotten anything like that. But when I did those donuts I did turn off traction control
Have you ever gotten stuck in your driveway during major snowstorms in it, or just driving through neighborhoods of where roads unplowed?

@@Vspec_Zilla …Thanks for the feedback, I have narrowed it down to 2 cars, this one and Acura TLX AWD as well.
Both good choices! My suggestion if you want to build or mod, Infiniti and Lexus are the ones to get. But if your fine with minor mods the tlx would be perfect. Hope it helps, let me know what you get!
@@82dupont good choice. I have both Acura TL and q60 red sport awd 2020. Acura feels more comfortable and smooth but ride on red sport is MORE FUN. 👌
I cant find a clean version of one of these to save my ass. Looking everywhere for a 14/15 but they are either f-boy'd out or just in terrible condition.
Oh really? Dang, what area are you at? Somewhat local to me there are some pretty solid ones, atleast last time i checked
saw ya car the white one amazing souns hella good
Oh awesome! Thank you much!
its 2023 PLZ SNOW in maryland!!!! I need to hoon my q50
Oh man haha i only been out that way end of summer! Does the snow get pretty good there? I always thought it did lol
@@Vspec_Zilla it used to snow every winter until about 2019 then we just stopped getting actual snowfalls like that

Those kids were loving
It I bet ! Snow tires ? 🤙🏼
Haha they did! It has Michelin all season pilot sports
You plan on getting a tune for the q50? Love my awd q50, though sometimes i wish i had rwd for a little drifting here and there.
Maybe later down the road. We use it for our family daily for the most part. Once i snag another 4 door ill do some work to it. Yea rwd would be fun in that car! I too wonder how it would be drifting like that!
You can pull the awd chip in the trunk to disable the awd system to make it rwd
looks like a blast! i would never risk the front lip on the r33. mines super low too
I know it! Its a straight plow, and i already scrape the front everything too. We gotta keep them safe lol
What exhaust do you have on the Q50? Sounds great!
Thank you! It's a tanabe medallion axle back
Wheel and tire setup?
19x9 with +30 offset, tire are Michelin Pilot Sports A/S 3+ 245/40ZR19
What exhaust?
Tanabe axle back
Didn't get AWD error?
No i didnt. Is that a common thing?
@@Vspec_Zilla Seems to be when people drift in the snow with AWD.
Oh dang, no it was my second time doing it. Maybe i wasnt getting ut hard enough lol thanks for the warning though, ill have to look into it
No thanks! Give me sunshine 365.
Agreed! As fun as it was I prefer more sunny days at home! Haha
Lol when the child services come to take your kids
Lol this day in age, I wouldn't put it past them
First comment
If you aint first, your last
Who is the maker of the exhaust on your q50?
It's a Tanabe medallion exhaust. Just a quick bolt on axle back
@@Vspec_Zilla Thanks for the response! I suspect those should fit fine on my 17 qx50,,,
Of course! I'm not 100% sure but I would think they would fit
