Do manufactures purposely make replacing these a pain in the ass for you to avoid doing on own? My Infiniti dealership wants almost $800 just on the labor to have all 6 replaced.
@@filmoresmith331it’s easy bro idk why he said it was hard I did it myself It does take time because of how cramped everything is but you should be straight
You prolly already done it by now lol but he said it was hard for him when he did the drivers side, I’m guessing because of the amount of things he had to uninstall + he took off the Inter coolers which you don’t have to, just disconnect sensors and pull back giving you enough room to replace spark plugs, pretty easy
Bro i was trying to do my spark plugs today, I got the passenger side done but it was tough putting that inlet back on & the driver side when i was on the inlets trying to undo those 2 bolts , i got one off bc it was facing up but the other one is upside down and its tight so idk how to get to it, i tried to use my ratchet but there’s no space , tried my electric but it’s too big, you got any idea what i cud do?
Thanks for the video. What did you pay at the infiniti dealership in Orlando. That's where I take my q60. I have to ask why is you engine so loud. It sounds like it ticking and knocking. My q60 is quite as a hummingbird. Iv notice since iv been putting amsoil 5w30 in my q60 it runs better then it did when I got it brand new in 2018. No noise at all.
I believe I paid 130 at the time of this video, and the ticking is normal it gets louder when you take the engine cover off. I use 5w30 motul oil my car is tuned
Hey so question … I recently had my spark plugs changed , after driving 30 miles my q50 threw a p14ac code . Do you think that has something to do with them not tightening my heat exchanger hoses back properly?? 😩 HELP

You don't have to pull the intercoolers...just the bolts and then pull it off the throttle intake and then lay them over the engine
That’s how I did it , I have a video going step by step in my RUclips
Dude... thank you for making this video. You're a legend
Appreciate it 🥹
Great video! Thanks for showing how to do the correct method on the second charge cooler 💪
Glad I could help dropping more content
Beyond thankful for this video Bro. Excellent work💪🏼
Appreciate it would love to get a sub from you. More content on the way just got a new camera
Great video man! You saved us all bank!!

Wtf!!! That’s armed robbery 🤦🏽♂️
Yes, they do sadly, wish they would make it easier on the consumer but yk it’s not always possible to treat us well I guess.
Needed this video. Thank you for the great documentation
Glad I could help
Once you said it was very hard too do I was done guess I gotta pay
i’m saying dawg 😭 i’m over here attempting to be a mechanic but it’s looking like a stretch

try using a longer extension that can fit the small place without dropping anything
Do u unplug the battery?
The change the plugs there was no need to remove intercooler
EVERY new Z owner should watch this RUclips video!!!!
..so you have to disassemble BOTH intercoolers, just for a plug change.
Great video Buddy..how many miles did you put on them plugs before changing them out..my 21 just hit 30k .Thank you.
👍 good lookin out on the video.
Thanks bro
What are the houses connected to the intercooler
How do you disconnect the electrical sockets to the inter cooler?
are you talking the throttle ?

What are the torque specs?
No idea I had hand tighten them just not too much
22-25 ft-lbs is what the dealership told me
What size mm of spark plug socket will i need to remove and install the plugs?
3/8" drive
14mm
Fuck yea bro! Appreciate you puttin in the work to make the video 🤜🏼
Appreciate it 🔥🔥
It's was a great video 📹 I appreciate it
Did you have to bleed the system still?
Yes I did at the time just to make sure
@lacykenzie sorry but 1 more question. Did you make a vid on how to bleed it.
@@Finesse05 unfortunately no I didn’t, the highest point of the cooling system is what you have to find and that’s the passenger side intercooler hose
Did you check the gap before you installed the spark plugs? Just wondering.
no they come pregapped. trying to check the gap on these plugs can break the electrode
Hey so question … I recently had my spark plugs changed , after driving 30 miles my q50 threw a p14ac code . Do you think that has something to do with them not tightening my heat exchanger hoses back properly?? 😩 HELP
Hey man did you ever figure out whats up
I got that code while changing my heat exchanger, I purged my system bro and refilled the coolant and it went away
Do you know if these engines have a PCV valve, if so where is it located and how do you change it?

@@lacykenzie much appreciated man
Where is the intercooler from
burger tuning i got it from ebay but thats the brand heat exchanger
How risky is this to do on your own? My main concern is the misfiring and Check engine lights
Once you do it correctly you’ll be fine, hand tighten the spark plugs don’t overdo it
Was your car misfiring before you changed your plugs
No I just wanted fresh parts before I got it tuned
Well mine has and I change the whole coil pack and spark plug for cylinder 2 and check engine light still there and it’s all new
Orlando 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
this is another reason why you get the 3.7 😂
Do you have a version of this video that is slowed down on how to take the intercoolers off ? Was way to fast.
My bad there’s a option on RUclips to slow the videos down
Can I pay someone in the comments to install them for me? 😁
Loool sure 😂
Get to the point too much talking
No sirrr
Figure out how to change your own spark plugs then
@@danchan45 no need, that’s why I pay someone else ( mechanic) to do the job
@@luxe4744 that’s unfortunate
@@luxe4744 sad you pay someone else rather then doing it yourself 😬
Too much chatting
