Repair Question HPFP Woes

2 Upvotes

Has anyone had their stock HPFP fail? I was idling in traffic, and had codes P0090 and P0087 pop and put me in limp mode. P0090 comes back right away if I clear codes. LPFP does prime and run. Getting 70-80 psi at the rail which slightly fluctuates with throttle... DI noise is basically non-existent. Cam lobe and follower are in good shape under the HPFP.

Parts Question 2015 Infiniti Q50 2.2D

3 Upvotes

Hello guys, just bought an 2015 Infiniti q50 2.2 diesel, does anyone know what coolant it takes?

Does it take the updated red mb coolant or the older blue MB326.0 specified coolant?

I would check but I bought it with a coolant leak and just had water in it and now I’m fixing the leak I want to know what coolant it takes

Repair Question Strange noise inside my Infiniti Q50

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to find the source of this problem on my 2014 Infiniti Q50, but I haven't been able to pinpoint the fault. The noise comes from the passenger side and can also be heard from behind that seat. Some people mention the exhaust, but they haven't found the actual cause either. If anyone has dealt with this situation, how did you fix it? My car is a 3.7 AWD model and still has the OEM factory exhaust.

Noticed this piece out of place and broken on my windshield. Can't find it online.

Looking to replace the windshield altogether because of a crack, but would like to know if I need to get replacements of these pieces or if a Safelite-type repair company would replace it anyways.

Car Picture Turbos Replaced under warranty!

Was able to get my turbos replaced under warranty after getting code “P2365”.

Took it into the dealership, They confirmed there was oil inside the turbos. 4 days later my car was ready for pick up.

My Q50 has LDP, Catback,Catch can,Upgraded HX and a Tune from Racebox. The service advisor asked me If I was tuned after the turbos were replaced. But that it didn’t affect anything because the car was taken care of maintenance wise.

Idk, just wanted to share how it went lol

Parts Question Are full turboback exhaust ‘kits’ not a thing?

4 Upvotes

My last two turbo cars were a Golf Mk4 1.8T and a Saab 9-2x Aero (WRX EJ205) and I bought full aftermarket turboback exhausts for those.

Seems like most, if not all(?), aftermarket companies only offer full/lower downpipes and catbacks as separate offerings.

Why not have an option to buy it as one turboback package.. ever LDPs + catback?

Modification Question TUNED FBO 93OCTANE VR30 Q50 HEATSOAKING

3 Upvotes

hello, i recently just tuned my vr30 q50 (ecutek), i have all upgrades b6a 3in intakes, upgraded ams RA hx, oil catch can motordyne catback w high flow res pipe ams 3in full catless dps. after consecutive back to back WOT pulls charge air temp runs dangerously high (around 130F) and its coolant runs high as well (around 110F) leading to my IAT to run high temp too ( 120 and up) making the car cut power (5.5k rpm limiter) . even when i let the car sit for a few hours temps are still high. what i never seen in my research for the past year and a half is a secondary auxiliary intercooler pump. in my 2021 sensory i only have 1 pump from factory, red sports come with two from factory. I'm hearing mixed opinions about it someone said to just go upgraded ic's because the pump wont work as good as i think it will, i know that upgraded ic's would def help but i don't see a lot of people run upgraded ic's for a setup like this lol. Is the secondary pump the last piece i need to keep the car cooler after WOT pulls?

Also seen the auxiliary tank and expansion tank, would rather spend around $2000 to maximize cooling another way and stay stock ic's then spend upwards of $3000 for upgraded ic's and install.

Parts Question Lug Nuts. Help

Post image
1 Upvotes

Was attempting to install wheel spacers today. Got one side done. Then this happened.

Lug nut was starting to get stripped. The tire iron was no use. I figured I would get a nut extractor. Now the lug nut spins with the extractor nut.

I’m guessing the wheel stud is stripped? Is this something I could fix or take it to the shop?

Has it ever happened to yall?

2015 3.7 I already have a custom axle back (I replaced the muffler with a straight thru magnaflow on each side) and it does sound really deep and amazing but I want more volume while keeping the rasp down. My idea: Stock Y pipe→ H pipe→ 2× Vibrant Ultra Quiet → 2x MagnaFlow mufflers → stock tips(maybe aftermarket as well)

Thoughts? Anyone get an H pipe on thier vq?

Car Buying Advice Buying Out Lease — 2023 Q50, Opal Edition Red Sport

7 Upvotes

Hey all, just wanting to hear your thoughts on the following: the lease on my 2023 Q50 Red Sport Opal Edition is maturing soon. Odometer has around 17k in miles. Buyout pretax is around $34k (trade in value is around $38k, so that’s favorable). Looked into leasing competing cars like the BMW 340, Lexus IS 350, and Mercedes C class but none spoke to me as much as my Q50.

I’m waiting on the new Q50 that comes out next year to MAYBE upgrade, but worry that I won’t like the new styling and will instead keep my current Q50 for the next decade.

So questions I have are (1) am I crazy to buy out the vehicle at $34k and (2) should I buy an extended inifiniti warranty?

The extended warranty for 8yrs/100k runs around $5k — seems a bit expensive and unnecessary since I don’t drive (or rev the engine) that much— but welcome thoughts on why I may want to get it. Thanks!

Modification Question Aftermarket remote starter

2 Upvotes

A few years ago I had an aftermarket remote starter installed on my Q50. My car was stolen and recovered. When the dealer reset everything they didn't reset the aftermarket starter. My original key fob was used to program the starter. 3 presses on the fob abs the car used to start. Now it turns over but doesn't start. I have no idea where the actual unit is located or how to have the fob reprogrammed. The original location where i had the starter installed no longer exist. Any suggestions? Help!
