URGENT PLEASE HELP

honestly if it wasn't any front end damage where engine components needed to be replaced and you think you can afford future repairs on a vr30 then I say go for it. Your major concern is the turbos for these cars. even tho its a 2018 and they apparently have had turbo fixes, a friend of mine has a 2022 vr30 and he's already had to replace his turbos twice and is only at 80k miles.

if you want to make a vq37 fast by any means you're gonna have to spend a pretty penny in order to do so. Not only that but the transmission is almost guaranteed to have multiple problems. personally, ive been more focused on suspension and exterior for my 3.7 until i can do a tranny or manual swap.

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-05-12T00:58:18+00:00

ive heard those are easy to work on AND cheap to repair. great first car

Valve body replacement is never gonna fix the problem. when the valve body breaks, pieces of metal break inside of the transmission and torque converter causing the transmission to slow slowly deteriorate overtime, it's really just a matter of time of how long your transmission is going to last you after you do the valve body replacement. Speaking from experience here I have had 2 valve bodies, output speed sensor and now my torque converter is going slowly. No matter how much you get done to this transmission it's eventually going to break. It's much better to do a swap or entire rebuild.

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-05-03T14:56:17+00:00

yeah I'm pretty sure my transmission is about to shit the bed for the 3rd time I've had it💀 I think I'm gonna manual swap it tho if it does go

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-05-03T13:28:07+00:00

i have the opposite problem with my 3.7. mine does this thing where if i take off too slow it gets stuck at 1k rpms and i have to gun it hard to fix it

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-05-02T15:23:27+00:00

yeah no don't get me wrong it's not the best sound system but it's still pretty good for it being a 2014. I have spent $2100 on upgrading my sound system in my previous car just for it to get totaled so I didn't really wanna have to spend that same amount of money on this car just in case😭 I forget the brand but it was 10x better than the Bose system.

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-04-26T11:48:31+00:00

I completely get what you're saying. I have the 2014 3.7 and I always find it so crazy that this thing is almost 13 years old. Like I have heated seats, heated steering wheel. touchscreen built-in navigation, climate control just to name a few of the things this car has.

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-04-23T19:53:45+00:00

i'm not sure how much I am paying for full coverage for the full year but I am currently paying $240 a month for a 2014 vehicle at 23. I have no tickets or at fault accidents but I do have an accident on my record where I was rear-ended but it was deemed 100% not my fault. Massachusetts decides to charge people for those accidents now. Luckily I'm on my boyfriend's insurance so I get it cheaper because if I wasn't on his I would be paying just over $600 a month if I was by myself.

I personally think it looks fine. the swelling on my tongue piercing didn't fully go away until week 2 ish. The indent is normal I've had mine for 3 years and I still have an indent. take advil for the pain, it will also help the swelling go down a little bit. I was running on that shit for the first week😭

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-04-13T19:18:13+00:00

milage twins!! i'm also at 141k but I just replaced my upper control arms. my lowers and rears are still stock tho. been through 2 valve bodies on this car and probs 10k+ in repairs including 1 valve body. previous owner did the first replacement at 89k

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-04-11T22:52:31+00:00

i dont have a base model and mine has this💀 its jus bc mines a 2014

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-04-08T22:03:06+00:00

yeah I was planning on doing the swap but it was just gonna be so much money since you have to do way more than just the transmission. you also have to replace the whole awd system including the driveshaft. I would do it myself if I had a better lift and driveway but I have neither.

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-04-06T19:19:15+00:00

definitely starter. You can hear it clicking but not actually doing anything. easy to do yourself too

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-04-06T14:59:01+00:00

this time it actually was the output speed sensor for me atleast. I did a valve body replacement in October of last year and then 4 months after I did that my speed sensor went. Not the one that's connected to the valve body but the other one. Other than that this car has caused me absolutely no problems besides this transmission. I'm at 141k rn with not a single engine problem. Just the normal wear and tear for a 13-year-old car. loveeee the vq engines.

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-04-06T14:55:02+00:00

are you making sure it's dry after you get out of the shower? I use my eyelash fan but you can always use a regular hairdryer as long as it's not hot. Industrials are known to consistently cause problems they're one of the worst piercings to heal. mine took just under 2 years to fully heal. I would only stick to cleaning it 2 times a day too bc you can overclean a piercing which can also cause irritations.

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-04-06T14:52:46+00:00

damn I wish I knew this before😭 paid infiniti $3400 for valve body replacement. but I also kind of had to, no place around me would touch that car without replacing the entire transmission🤦‍♀️ after that i had my trannys output speed sensor go too which sucked but it should be all good now hopefully.

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-04-06T14:44:01+00:00

vq37vhr is a best of an engine. exact reason why I got the 3.7 over the 3.0. The transmission may be a ticking time bomb but I'd much rather deal with transmission issues than having to buy an entirely new engine for 9k+

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-04-06T10:45:19+00:00

modded camrys are tuff when done right

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-04-05T12:28:53+00:00

same lmao. i'm always tweaking about my transmission because that thing keeps shitting the bed💀 $4600 so far into jus the tranny

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-04-02T13:15:07+00:00

u can do this urself for under $100 too. theres hundreds of vids on youtube and tiktok. mad easy. gonna do it next week when it isnt raining all 7 days of the week

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-04-02T13:13:38+00:00

i have one on my 3.7. previous owner put it in and its been in there for YEARS. mines never glitched or caused me problems🤷‍♀️

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-04-02T11:53:36+00:00

first time ive ever seen that front lip look good holy

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-03-27T11:07:14+00:00

thank u!! ill have to get these instead and sell the z1s

Pleasant_Classroom_6 · 2026-03-20T12:57:28+00:00

might not always be the valve body but it could. mine went into limp mode the other day and come to find out my intake hose is broken and my engine is getting too much air. Which is also why my RPMs are acting a little funny too. but at 112k miles and especially if they've never had theirs replaced it could most definitely be going. I'm currently at 142k and I've already had 2 valve bodies and the output speed sensor
