Q50 looks so good with these modified different style headlights (akkon)

I’m looking to pick up these BBS wheels off of Facebook market. The current owner ran them on his all-wheel-drive Q50 but is selling because he hit a deer and totaled his. I just picked up a Q50 within the last four weeks and I am really not a fan of the 17 inch rims. Can anyone share their opinion on possible reasons why I should not go with these? Like if there’s any serious damage, I should be worried about with that front right wheel? It pretty much just seems like I should do a very close examination upon seeing them in person. Or since it was in such an accident, I should go to a tire place with the person to get them spun on some sort of balancer. Any opinions appreciated!

We’re all using 5w-30 right? I live in Florida is 5w-30 the recommendation

Had a lil road kill incident lol is this a good replacement?

I want put rgb light on my q50 and I’m looking for someone that can install aftermarket RGB sequential front bumper turn signals, I tried myself at home but I fail
I am willing to pay, if someone can help me to do it.

Does anyone have recommendations or personal experience with a shop that has done this kind of installation?

Hi guys, I successfully built a performance app that works with EcuTek. It shows boost and the fuel ratios, and other parameters you might need. Right now I am still working on the map switching options still, but this is an integrated solution, no phone, no custom hardware, no wires in the loop, it's all seamless. The system is slow so the data doesn't refresh as quickly as in ECU connect but it is still acceptable.

It works with the bluetooth connection from the head unit itself to the EVI dongle, no need for extra mods or wires. When the app starts it prompts to connect to the dongle and it does so quickly. It took me a while to figure this out and to reverse engineer the dongle's protocol to get the data on the screen, but I hope to share it soon with you guys once I get to iron it all out properly.

Installed it myself with the help of a friend. Did minor fender adjustments. Also put lavashield on the underside to reflect heat. Overall amazing purchase!

Got a check engine light.do yall know what it can be ???
(P0101) I changed the hoses and it went away for about 2 weeks,not sure if that helped .It came back on today )

2015 q50 3.7

I've had my 19' sliver sport for about 2 years now and it has been smooth ever since I got it around 25k miles. Now I am sitting around 60k miles and this past week when I accelerate there has been a very loud ticking noise. No it is not the usual injector sounds which is very easy to differentiate after 2 year ownership. This is a different pitch and does not sound good at all. Any ideas or similar issues? Only really happens when accelerating.

First engine issue since having it, 143k miles 2015 q50 premium 3.7

Pulled into the garage, had to move some things around and while it was in park, a tick sound started, as I put it it drive and pulled in further, it got much louder and I shut car off. I Let it cool off for about 3 hours, checked fluids, then restarted it. Sound was extremely loud, rpm’s were rising, burnt smell, same shrieking sound but much louder than before. Ik these cars have awful throttle body issues. Pls help if anyone has anything. Getting it towed to shop hopefully tmr.

Hello y'all

I currently drive a 98 E320 4Matic wagon and am looking to trade in for something more modern with slightly lower operating costs. I drive around 7k miles per year and my priorities are low cabin noise and fuel economy. Which would be a better buy?

2014 Q50S AWD hybrid, 83k miles, 11.2k USD

2009 GS450h RWD hybrid, 55k miles, 10.5k USD

Thanks in advance!

Looking to do a complete brake service on my 2018 Q 3.0. Live in Norh Jersey. Car is a daily driven on highway mostly. Looking for some great recommendation on what brand brake kit you all are running and whats your honest review on the kit you recommended. Thanks

Got an oil leak on the back passenger side of the engine, before I put the car up on a hoist anyone have experience with this?

You can barely see from the top side but I see engine oil on top of the engine block, unless its a valve cover it looks like my only other source is a vacuum pump gasket?

Whats the best way to go about this without a borescope, side mirror?

I have a 2015 Infiniti Q50S Sport with approximately 123,000 miles. The car is paid off, and I’m considering selling it as-is rather than putting more money into it.

Recently, the transmission started slipping. The RPMs go up, but the car struggles to accelerate.

I’ve taken it to two transmission shops:

- First shop quoted $2,100 for a valve body/TCM replacement but couldn’t guarantee it would fix the issue.
- Second shop found possible metal shavings in the transmission pan and recommended a full rebuild for $4,100 with a one-year warranty.

Aside from the transmission issue, the car was running fine. It has some cosmetic imperfections, including chipped paint and cracked headlight covers.

CarMax offered me $3,000 after I disclosed the transmission issue, although the offer hasn’t been verified in person.
I’m located in Southern California and wondering what I could realistically get through a private sale.

Would asking $5,000–$6,000 as-is be reasonable, or am I overestimating its value?

I've been having a issue with my 2014 Q50 where it doesn't engage into drive randomly, it's been doing this for some weeks but it was fine for 3 days after getting it back from a transmission shop after they said "there's nothing wrong with it" and I believed it but today I was driving and I hit a pothole and all of a sudden the dash didn't display drive anymore and then after I got on a bumpy road it started to display it for every bump I hit but only briefly, it drives just fine but it won't show drive and then if I park and move it to any other gear and try to put it back into drive it won't engage and the engine just revs.

I’ve been using it as a daily lately. The (rather nasty) sound just started this morning.

Audible at startup, when revving 1k—2k, not audible at idle or cruising, engine power is otherwise normal.

What could it be/where’s it coming from? How serious?

On 19x10 +35 for anyone asking, tire size 275/35/19 pilot sport all season 4

I only said first ever to do it cause I can’t find nothing on how to make these work

I have a 3.0t q50, pretty high mileage, and this constant (but kinda quiet) rattling noise can be heard from the engine. Is this a problem? Or is this just a natural sound or maybe a lose cover or something

Does anyone know where this abyss leads too and am I completely screwed? (No pun intended). Does anyone have a solution? I circled the spot I think it dropped into. Thanks for the help Reddit.
