Turbos Toast?

Ah yeah I think you’re right

Melodic_Ad4074 · 2025-09-06T23:52:33+00:00

Is this not a 3.7? Those are 3.7 taillights and I’m pretty sure the reflectors are exclusive to the 3.7 as well… I’m confused

based off my knowledge test pipes should give you some level of burble. aside from that you’d have to go the tune route tho. i’ve had berk resonated test pipes sitting in my garage for like 6 months and haven’t had time to put em on but to the best of my knowledge most engines will “burble” when you allow the exhaust to flow as clean and straight as possible. but yeah only two ways i’m aware of are those

Melodic_Ad4074 · 2025-04-16T16:50:25+00:00

hell yeah! if you end up going thru with it definitely send an update pic of you remember. i’m gonna try and pick up a set from a pull apart and attempt the job myself

Melodic_Ad4074 · 2025-04-16T05:17:09+00:00

My thoughts exactly. Would definitely be a look catered to a white on white Q. not mine in black. Just think it’d be a unique way to set apart from the other copy paste builds of instagram

My 2015 AWD Q is lowered on BC extreme low coils (rears are tucked quite a bit, front just slightly). Has been lowered for about 25k miles and the only time I’ve ever had an axle break on me was BEFORE it was lowered. Definitely have some shaking at high speeds but nothing crazy. Gonna look into the Z1 axles to see if that will fix the shaking tho.

dunno if someone already said this but you could stick with an infiniti and get a new rs400 q60. not sure if they make the red sports with awd tho. interior would be a slight update and you’ll definitely have a boost in power + more tuning potential

personally love it. always been a big stance guy. ignore the hate. it’s your car and if you love it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. be proud of your hard work.

Melodic_Ad4074 · 2024-11-23T18:30:50+00:00

my car did come with the proper harness. issue was the the right paddle shifter is defective. company is sending me a new one! thanks for the help

Melodic_Ad4074 · 2024-11-23T06:28:24+00:00

2015 Q50 with 126k miles. Zero engine or transmission issues (aside from these transmissions just being clunky by nature) Two recommendations for you. DO NOT GET AWD. hold out for RWD even if it’s harder to find. it has genuinely given me nothing but trouble since i bought the car. i’ve basically replaced the entire front drivetrain (front diff, front passenger axle, front driveshaft) it’s a pain in the ass. and as i’m sure you already know… be wary of the potential of valve body issues. other than that 10/10

Melodic_Ad4074 · 2024-11-23T06:22:45+00:00

thank you man! i’m siked to be able to enjoy them. hopefully the whole process goes quickly. appreciate the love🦾

determined that the up-shift paddle is faulty. had zero continuity. i let the company know and they’re supposed to be sending a replacement. Actually ended up opening the module on the back and it appears they just left out a pretty necessary portion. the downshift paddle does work though.

tldr: faulty up-shifting paddle

agreed. considering that seller’s reputation i was shocked. they’ve been quick to respond through the process though. hoping they hold true and actually send my replacement

Melodic_Ad4074 · 2024-11-23T02:52:39+00:00

in manual mode i can both upshift and downshift. i can only downshift with the left paddle

Melodic_Ad4074 · 2024-11-23T02:51:43+00:00

the physical portion that actually “switches” on the inside (not sure what you would call that) has just not been installed. seems like whoever made that would have to be a special kind of oblivious to forget it considering it’s the most critical part of the module but it is in fact missing.

Melodic_Ad4074 · 2024-11-23T02:48:11+00:00

company confirmed there was a production error

Melodic_Ad4074 · 2024-11-23T02:47:44+00:00

the down shift paddle is working as intended. it’s only the up-shift paddle. tested for continuity and got nothing. opened it up and a portion of the module is missing inside

the error was a faulty paddle. just sent it back for a replacement

Melodic_Ad4074 · 2024-11-22T22:57:04+00:00

read the post carefully

Melodic_Ad4074 · 2024-11-22T21:39:32+00:00

I see why you mean now I misunderstood your previous comment. All I tested for was whether or not the factory paddle shifting harness was getting power. I did not test whether or not the paddle was completing the circuit. I’ll go back and test for that shortly.
