Afaik, VR30DDTT engines that were built from December 2021 had updates to fix the driveline / belt issues (e.g. the ones that plagued the first year engines). I do have a question: Should Nissan switch the engine of the Pathfinder R53 from VQ35DD to VR30DDTT?
Id really love to get my hands on a q60 they’re beautiful cars, I also love the seats in them compared to the q50. Check out fitment industries gallery on q60s to see what people are doing to them.
I still want to see you do an oil cooler and a transmission cooler in your car I think they’ll be a cool video for an install I may be doing some side skirts on your car or a rear diffuser.Or you should look into some upgraded brake lines for your car I do an install on that I think that be a cool thing to do see now I’m not asking you about questions I’m giving you suggestions that I would like to see you because I think your videos help me out making my decision on get one of these cars since I have a G 37X
Do you know much about the 2020s? I just bought a 2020 VR30 and I’ve got 14k miles. If I keep her stock should I expect a long lifespan? 85-100k miles without blown turbos? (Not planning on tuning).
ive got 38k on mine but only owned it for 5k, seems reliable, trans is kinda clumsy but when you floor it it slaps the upshifts and thats all that really matters to me
Great video sir. Thanks for the info. I’m a new Q50 3.0t sport owner and love the car. I have fun with it but certainly don’t get on it hard and I agree I change the oil every 2500 miles with Royal purple but I also put in the Lucas Oil low Viscosity oil stabilizer with the oil and it purrs. I also put in the Royal Purple fuel system cleaner and that helps a lot. Thanks Boost.
I bought a 2019 Q60 Redsport 400 with 54,000 miles I know it’s quite a few miles for a almost 2 year old car but I got a good deal and a 7 year unlimited mileage bumper to bumper extended factory warranty with no deductible. So my modes will be done at the dealership so my warranty is not voided I figure I can do enough to it to have a very fun and luxurious car. This was mint the previous owner only drove it long distance for his work so basically he was the only one in it so the interior is mint it optioned to the max was $63,000 new and I payed half that. This car is beautiful it’s not something you see everywhere like Camaros Mustangs Vetts Challengers and Chargers and it can hold it’s own racing one. Maybe not some of the Supercharged ones but most 350hp ones to 450hp ones because you won’t spin as mush as they do so it makes a big difference and mines is only rear wheel drive. So if you are thinking about buying one do your research and pick a good one there out there just have to maybe travel a bit. If your near me I’m Florida I’d be happy to take you for a ride and see what you think. I’m in Fleming Island 32003
@@oshane2513 Well unfortunately I no longer have it but that was by far the best and nicest car I will ever own. I’m disabled and I quit driving and the Q60 was my last car. So at least I had a bad ass sports car for my last car.
Yo boost hope u see this comment I have a question about drain and fill for trans .... what if your trans oil was lil low before drain and fill so u take out and put same amount in which then you’d still be low ????? Also I remember seeing a video guy drains it then fills it up until it starts pouring out then let’s it stop on its own after it stops pretty much it’s topped out up to the filler whole so which way is correct ????
I dont like how people dog on the 3.7 because your turbo can be modified to be faster . How much hp would your vr30 make without those turbos a 3.7 with 350 hp is one of if not the highest hp NA v6 out there calling it a dinosaur because its tried and true is not cool. Personally if I can have 350 crank hp na 3.7 q50 I know I don't have to worry about turbos and the sound if you dont want to build and race and fix and you just want a solid long lasting great sounding high revving daily get the 3.7 who the fuck wants to deal with shit turbos damaging the engine over time when turbos go sloppy it hurts the engines and catalytic converters and carbon build up from oil consumption my 3.7 2014 burns zero oil never have to add .
I’ve been struggling to decide what I want the 3.7 or 3.0t. I’ve heard so much about the 3.0t being unreliable, having to replace turbos and engines, has scared me from 3.0t but I want it for the speed. Don’t know what to do
Same I've been looking specifically for the 3.0ts but Everytime I see a 3.7 Im thinking it could be the better choice. Already have plans for the 3.0t with the he and jb4 but the 3.7 could save me alot of money by not going the performance route
Is it true these vr30 have no BOV? Im going to buy one and im glad this video exist because i heard these cars suffer from serpentine belt alignment and turbo going out early lol
Love the 13 speaker Bose sound system my navigation works perfectly also wish it had more performance apps to play with but g force app is kind of cool.
2018 Q50 3.0t bought it salvaged with 45k miles and now it's got 59k miles and haven't had a single issue. Granted, I changed literally all the fluids (coolant, differential, transmission, oil,). Only thing I notice is there tends to be alot of smoke out the back on cold startup and it does down after it's warm but still has some coming out the back. Hoping that's not my turbos burning a little bit of oil
The twin turbo 300 hp 3.0 and 400 hp version are both very unreliable. Belts, trans valve bodies, turbo chargers, timing chains. They use the same turbocharger in the Nissan Juke Nissmo.
3.7 reliability represents the masses of people JD power son awards proven only racers should get the 3.0t who in there right mind who daily drives it wants to deal with someone else's beat up 3.0 after they strip it and trade it in not this guy
Honestly stay away from these cars..the Q60 is very pretty but lets be honest ,these cars are unreliable..oil, transmission, A.C, and turbos, etc all fo bad..ill stick to my reliable lexus during the week and my hellcat on the weekends..the problems that infinitis have are unacceptable for a Japanese luxury brand..infiniti hasn't been the same since the 90s..my old 1991 Q45 back in 1993 was luxury and power in one. Plus it was reliable. Bmw is another company to stay away from..the bigger the engine the bigger the problems. I have no loyalty to these car companies that have no loyalty to me or the buyer.
Ehh not near as reliable as the 3.7, makes more sense just to boost a 3.7 and have that incredible soundtrack instead! Or just move from the VHR to something like a M340i or Supra that sounds so much better than Q's and has a better engine
@@artemiscool67 modern bmw turbo engines are rocket ships , add in the ZF transmissions or the dual clutch in the M cars ,but as you said after warranty the price tag will be higher , then again after warranty any major engine issue is a good chunk of coin sadly

I heard the drive belts snap and can leave you stranded and even cause engine bay damage due to the belt coming off
That happened to me. Take it in they have a recall on that issue. Belt snapped at high RPM. Luckily I was a block from my house and it didn't run hot.
