    For those who have issues with slow windows, DO NOT GO TO THE DEALER. Buy a lubricant silicone spray and spray along your window frame , give it 5 min and then put your window up and down a few times and bam brand new fast as hell.

      Driver window started happening when cold for 1st use in day of window; only time it happens. No other issues. Had G35 for 10 years and only 10-yr battery went out but that's standard...and life. Other than driver window issue with Q50, no issues in 4 years.

      Depending on how bad it is when we have that issue come in most of the time we just clean the track and then spray it with DRY spray lubricant if you don’t use dry spray it will work for a little bit then actually get worse more and more debris will build up (Infiniti technician)

    For the belt failure you need to loosen the the a/c compressor and push it back and tighten it that’s why the belts would fail when you do that if you catch it early enough you won’t have to change the belt but if you still hear chirping then replace the belt (I’m an Infiniti tech and I own a 17 Q50s)

    I personally purchased a universal 10 row single pass fluid cooler from Mishimoto and used -6AN hoses to cool the ATF in my 16' 3.0t Red Sport 400 awd, currently odometer is showing 93,346 miles and it was one of the best mods I've ever done. The cooler does the job perfectly, by matching up the hoses to the oem hoses i don't see much pressure loss or increase of pressure in the valvebody, it's not cooling the ATF too much or not enough. I can beat on here and drive it hard, or be sitting in traffic in the summer and it's working perfectly. I monitor my ATF temps just to be sure. My next upgrade will more than likely be another Mishimoto universal fluid cooler to replace the OEM oil cooler, but I'm monitering oil temps, just to be sure, since the red sport models have a thermostatically controlled oil cooler, guess we'll see in the next month or so.

  • @rickhayduke

    thank you sir have a 15’ awd limited 3.7 in black with 120k miles 2 tone 19 inch wheels , just bought it. picked it up for 9800 cash its had the differential fluids changed / trans so far and spark plugs. It’ll be a fun project. starting with coolant flush. Pretty fun. Been taking it easy, shifts smooth. Still daily my 400 hp taurus it just feels like a cross over to drive and sits higher and it’s a little more convenient. i don’t like how heavy the pedal is in the q50. My g35 was reliable and I had a g37 for a short time and was missing that VQ. Very happy with the q50’s sound system and interior capabilities. Sounds good on cold start ! Probably going to just replace the rear dif bushing when i go in for rotors here soon. Having a slight strut-pop kinda noise from the rear when I launch, but 5 seconds to 60 and gets great fuel mileage around 75 compared to my taurus.

    Our Q50 the left driver window started going down slow a month ago. We took it into Infiniti service when we got an oil change and they fixed it no charge, but didn't explain what they did to fix it. Thinking still either it just needed to be lubricated or leaves got stuck down there or dirt buildup not sure.

    Hey I’m from NC and am an Infiniti tech. Yeah turbo failure and also engine failure is very common on the OLDER VR30, think they fixed it 2018 and afterwards. Mostly an oil starvation issue similar to what the RB motors had from what I’ve heard, very rare issue is having a porous engine block that allows coolant to leak.
    The blend door motor is a bitch to get too, just a tight space.
    The slow window issue is most likely a window run needing replacement, easy to do.
    And as you said lots of valve body’s but I don’t see it as often. Great video as always!!

Happened in March 2019), and I had a rear sway bar replacement when I ran over some debris on the highway and it somehow snapped one end of the sway bar loose without breaking anything else. Both were done under warranty(I had the 8 year unlimited mile bumper to bumper up until a month ago).

    Need help with issues on my 16 Q50 premium 3.0T awd. Installed aem intakes and jb4 tuner, then car went into limp mode after 3 days. Threw throttle position sensor code. Not sure if related. I removed it and no issues since. Then replaced aem intakes with stillen and did a muffler delete with straight pipes, months after, car randomly died on highway. Very scary. Then tried installing Z1 motorsports hotbox piggyback tuner and it threw throttle position sensor codes and engine started up hard and running rough. Turned it off then engine wouldn't fire back up. Removed it, then it fired back up. Z1 asked if its been tuned. I have no idea. Doesn't seem tuned. Also, when I accelerate from a stop and then let off the throttle, the car jerks and gives me whiplash, I can't tell if valve body, back pressure, or something else. I have to let off the throttle very slow or it jerks. It almost acts like it gets stuck in gear. Please help. I've taken it to a Nissan dealer and they couldn't find anything. There are no Infiniti dealers anymore in my area. Also, owners manual says transmission is maintenance free. Is that true? U never have to service it?

    I got a 3.7 2015 q50s.
    The suspension is trash as fuck , it’s super common to have that issue . Lookin to replace mines .
    The chrome peeling inside is true . Mines is peeling.
    Factory rotors are true on my sport , got them resurfaced and once they ruined I’m have to replace them.
    Transmission is still good at 85k.
    But he’s right with the common issues. I got a backup 3.7 belt in case it shreds.

    Lollll i’m scared asl. You mentioned the valve body which I see A LOT of in the Q50/Q60 group. I’m between that 65k-75k miles. I’m sitting a 77k miles, out of warranty margin. Fingers crossed for my baby. My hood struts also failed… Fell on my head. And the chrome trim on cupholder peeling.
    I’d like to add one though. The heater hose coupler. The plastic piece inside the hose becomes brittle and fails causing a small coolant leak. If this happens, i recommend the Z1 coolant bleeder port. Way better than a piece of plastic.

Also getting really sensitive breaking sometimes. most of the time its good but then maybe 15% of the time it comes to an aggressive halt with the slightest touch of the break.....very intermittent.

    Rotors came first for me at 80,000 and I’m worried about the rear differential…damn but the rest is chillin cause I’ve actually modified quite a bit, my struts are not stock and I did this because the car is heavy AF let’s be honest the whole deal with the stock struts is probably because it’s a heavy yacht of a sedan with cheap struts. Also my injectors are not stock did that cause figured they didn’t ratio properly or use the right injectors for a big engine like a 3.7 as most other car companies have as well failed to improve on, and I upgraded my oil pan, got an oil cooler, heat exchange, carbon fiber hood to lessen the weight of the car a bit, upgraded sway bar, and lastly with the rotors I did not use the stock rotors I upgraded those and the break caliper as well.
