Yep, the car is great!

I've been a lurker here for a while since I got mine as I've not found a more informed group of people pushing the VQ37 platform at the levels you guys are on this forum. :tiphat:

In fact you've paved quite a performance path in numerous threads that will cross over from the Z to the Q.

After reading the Autocross thread I'm nearly convinced all you need is a big bar on the front and slightly stiffer rear bar and or stiffer springs in the rear. Then squeeze the widest and stickiest tire you can on the fronts, 255 to possibly 265 to combat the understeer.

I believe the Q50/370/G37 front sway bars are all the same and Tanabe has a slightly stiffer rear sway bar.

And Stillen has released the Q50 Supercharger Kit very similar to the 370z.

Looks like Stillen is working on upgrades.

Mark at Stillen confirmed the front sway bars on the Q50 are the same as the G37/370z.

Interesting...

Right now, to determine my future with the car, I'm scavenging the internet to figure out an answer to the open diff that is in the Q50S. If the Quaife offered for the G/Z will fit, problem solved, and I'll make a monster out of this thing. I really love the car and the only thing I absolutely dislike about it is the open diff.

Wheels and tires are next for me, but before I remove my run-flats, I want to add the spare-tire kit. I love the idea of having two sets of wheels right now.

I thought the Q came with the viscous oil diff? or is dat not enough for your application? :D

I think Nissan didn't put the viscous in the Q50 sport sedan like they did in the G's.

:ugh2: dat makes no sense..

:iagree:

Yup - it's true. No viscous LSD in any RWD Q50, regardless of trim. Active Trace Control is the "solution" which just uses the brakes to mimic what an LSD does. Not very well I might add.

I'm glad the Q50 has the new 3.0TT. Can't wait to see what these engines are capable of over the next couple years.

i see... hummm.. maybe okay for daily driver but yah, for us car guys u'd probably want more realistic LSD action (or the real LSD).

yah, as long as it does not have issues like the DAS i am sure it could be a big hit.

They revamped both the standard steering (rack electronic) and the Direct Adaptive Steering very heavily for the 2016 models.

I'm afraid to drive one. Between the new twin turbo V6, the dynamic digital suspension, and the upgraded steering, I'm afraid I will feel like I pulled the trigger too early on mine. About 6-8 months. Ha
