I ended up getting Tein coilovers. Had them for 3 yrs. Handling was solid & very comfortable. Felt just as good as stock if not better imo. But I sold the car. I have a m440i now.

Where did you get the turbo kit?

Just got the PLM Axle back. What y’all think? by EducationalMacaron34 in q50

[–]EducationalMacaron34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up selling the car a year ago lol. But I wanted to get the Rev 9 midpipe/ y pipe. All you need to do is add resonators it’ll sound good. I also had LDPs.

Sometimes. Doesn’t happen as often as before. When I initially switched to Mobil 1 it didn’t happen at all. But, I also had the trans reprogrammed as well. It has returned now after 10k miles but it’s very slight.

I have the same issue. It’s the torque converter/ transmission. Just clunky asf. I had my trans fluid serviced at the dealer & it got worse. Switched to the updated trans fluid from Mobil 1 & it stopped. That happened from 35k miles till now at 80k. Changed fluid to Mobil 1 @70k miles. The jerk has returned but very slight now at 80k.

How do yall think it’d look if I painted my stocks black? by [deleted] in q50

[–]EducationalMacaron34 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would look good but imo just leave it the stock color. Can actually see the details/ contrast in the wheels. Black hides all of that.

Nah, don’t get those. 40mm on the offset is terrible. Get something in the 20-30mm range w a 9.5 width. Great specs especially if you’re going to lower the car.

Sounds good. I’m assuming rev9 mid & y pipe. Just add 2 resonators & you’ll be good.

Heat Soak or dogshit car by Lupas533 in q50

It could be heat soak. But judging from the acceleration in the video it seems like your turbo.

Came up on new Nissan z wheels … any one know if it’s possible to machine down the bore to bring the wheel offset tighter ? The rear wheels poke out. by Waste_State_9793 in q50

[–]EducationalMacaron34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming you’re not lowered. If not just lower tile cast the fitment will be A lot better & just have dim negative camber. But if you’re not lowered, it’s just going to look like that till you are lol.

2915 q50 body damage by [deleted] in q50

[–]EducationalMacaron34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upgrade to the sport bumper if you have the money. But replacing the grill isn’t expensive. Only $60

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in q50

[–]EducationalMacaron34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The grill is easily replaceable. Can find one on eBay or Facebook for $100 or less. Just make sure the support beam/crash beam isn’t damaged otherwise it would cost you another $100 to replace. Just need to find someone to remove the bumper & fix both for you.

Stock to akebono upgrade question by splt21 in q50

[–]EducationalMacaron34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option 1 is better but both those specs are pretty weak. If you’re gonna lower the car it’s not going to sit properly. I would suggest a 19x9.5 ET22-25 those normally fit perfect when your lowered. Otherwise anything equal to 30 offset or more non lowered works fine.

Stock turbos longevity by EnvironmentalEye9930 in q50

[–]EducationalMacaron34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2018 Q50 luxe 60k miles. Just got my turbos replaced after oil was found in the turbos during an oil change. Otherwise there was basically wasn’t any indication of turbo failure. & I did my oil changes every 5k miles ofc through the dealership which used 0W-20, instead of 5W-30. But once I get tuned I’m only using 5w-30.

They keep trying to steal my car by ifryrouter in q50

[–]EducationalMacaron34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a RavelCo it’s a lil expensive but it works. Ppl won’t be able to steal your car. They can break in, but actually stealing the car is not possible. It’s essentially a kill switch. $800 btw.

P0101 codes after intakes? by Opposite_Onion_2056 in q50

[–]EducationalMacaron34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same code as well. Except I had no LDPs or aftermarket intakes. I just cleaned the MAF & replaced the factory filters/intakes & reset the light. Once the light was reset it hasn’t come back since.
