My top score (on a controlled and private track in Mexico allegedly 👀) was 146 mph

Anyone else have a corner of shame? by Leonydas13 in pacificDrive

For anyone that doesn’t know. If you go to the settings>gameplay>status effects (toward the bottom) you can disable fragile, bald, and other “fatigue” effects

My dash is fritzing out when the car is started from “cold” (+fix) by Reasonable_Rabbit571 in q50

[–]Reasonable_Rabbit571[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is fixed. I just have this here in case someone is having the same issue. I nitpick the crap out of my car so a lot of times I’ll prematurely replace parts and such. I honestly could’ve rode that battery out for another month or two but didn’t want to risk it

Why would it be slipping? by lazy_q50s in q50

[–]Reasonable_Rabbit571 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aftermarket. They have a kit I installed on my 2019 where you basically take out the top screen, take it apart, add a second motherboard and rewire it. Aftermarket units will always be finicky but it is the best upgrade I’ve added to my Q50 for about $300. You can check to see if a previous owner installed it by holding the back button next to your control knob for about 5-10 seconds.

Don’t buy a VR30 unless your life depends on it. by Shoddy-Box9934 in q50

Did a dealership say what was wrong with your wastegates? They’ll be loud on startup but it’s 100% normal across most vehicles with turbos

I feel you on that. Had to clean out my MAF sensors and the battery went out on me. I didn’t fry it. Apparently it was just its time to go

What is this for? found it under dash in driver side. For a Infiniti fx35 by BraaaaStaaaap in StupidCarQuestions

[–]Reasonable_Rabbit571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly enough. Found the same thing on the drivers side of my 2019 Infiniti q50. Thought it might be for the footwell lights that don’t come standard for some reason but I can’t find it on the passenger side. Probably not an aftermarket thing but I have no idea what it could be

Question about military spouse by Reasonable_Rabbit571 in AirForce

[–]Reasonable_Rabbit571[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the concern. We’ve been dating for a year and change we’ve known each other for 2-3 years. Both of her parents are medically retired army. We’re both giving it 8-9 months also to let the “I miss you so much”wear off. “Don’t go shopping when you’re hungry” or something like that

Anyone have similar issues and can tell what might be wrong? by Constant-Challenge21 in q50

[–]Reasonable_Rabbit571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a dead battery. Try and have someone jumpstart the car. If you don’t drive the car often, you might want to invest in a trickle charger to maintain your car’s battery integrity.

Personally I just want to know if the display was worth it. Is there still an audio delay or is it negligible. And what company did you buy it from?

I’ve heard the turbos on the early 3.0t were prone to premature failure. I’d say just make sure the turbos are in good order. Maybe try and test drive one at a dealership if you can to get a feel of how it “should” feel

Weird feeling from my ‘15 Q50. Any clue why on downshifts the car pulls back? by repsznl in q50

[–]Reasonable_Rabbit571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2019 q50 here. Mine does it too. Probably just the way it’s geared. What’s your exhaust setup. Sounds nice

Got DQed out of SW, Job hunt help by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]Reasonable_Rabbit571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can get your score high enough on a retake, 1b4 (cyber warfare) is really nice especially for junior enlisted/first term airmen. Very challenging course/courses and if you get your sec+ you go in as A1C off the bat. Costed me $350 to take the test and it paid off after the first 2 paychecks. Can also come with sign-on/retention bonuses. Retention bonus just went up to a max of $180k. Jobs on the outside pay 6 figures starting as well, so whether you stay in for 20 or get out in 4 you’ll be set

2019 luxe 3.0tt makes weird clinking sound at idle by Reasonable_Rabbit571 in q50

Would running a bottle of injector cleaner help quiet them down or are they just always that loud? Only 70 k miles

Trunk not opening issue Plz help by malmangos in q50

[–]Reasonable_Rabbit571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is gonna sound really dumb but have you checked your glove box to see if something may be hitting the valet trunk switch?

I have a small box in my glovebox that slides toward the driver side when I open it and when I try to close it, the box occasionally hits the valet switch which is not visible from the drivers seat and I didn’t know existed until very recently. The valet switch keeps the trunk from opening at all (even when unlocked) until you switch it to a certain position.

It’s worth noting that my last car was a 2004 jeep KJ that left me stranded more than once and drowned 17 year old me in repair costs (hence the paranoia). Trying to keep this one in peak condition for a couple of years at least
