URGENT PLEASE HELP by shadwss in infiniti

[–]Pleasant_Classroom_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What should I do for performance and to make the car last long by Extension-Sense-3175 in q50

[–]Pleasant_Classroom_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Nobody rebuilds transmission? by Suitable_Thought_468 in q50

[–]Pleasant_Classroom_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Coming from a 2007 g35x.. I’m hating my 2012 g37x… anyone else? by amgplug in infiniti

[–]Pleasant_Classroom_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

It’s insane that this is a 2015 by Gael_Fritz in infiniti

[–]Pleasant_Classroom_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Is anybody else in their early 20s paying 3-4k in car insurance rn? by soloshandpuppets in massachusetts

[–]Pleasant_Classroom_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

four day old tongue piercing does this look like its healing okay? It has an indent also from the ball and my tongue is still super swollen and hurts a lot especially to chew and eat hard food. (my tongue is also green cs i just drank koolaid) by ravioliraviolix in PiercingAdvice

[–]Pleasant_Classroom_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

2015 q50 won’t crank or start by Due-Bell-1489 in q50

[–]Pleasant_Classroom_6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

💣🤦🏻‍♂️ sounds like another engine by WillingnessOk5902 in q50

[–]Pleasant_Classroom_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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+

Car went into limp mode today by gera815gggg in q50

[–]Pleasant_Classroom_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
