Thanx for the reply Paulr33 will get in touch with the DOCTOR first thing tommorow!

My Car should be humming pretty soon HOPEFULLY............

How did you go with fuel consumption issue wrxxy?

I have just reeasled my petrol nozzle restrictor as seemed I was gicing away juice when cornering.

I have also started using plu98 juice, 10% ethanol and will be changing spark plugs. Looks like I might get some improvement! woohoo!

I havent really looked at fuel consumption for the moment as a friend of mine told me not to worry about it for the moment and wait until I do all mods ........and also I have been running around getting bits a pieces for my car Including FMIC ,3" Exhaust and also getting a turbo to suit all the mods I'm going to do.....

  • 3 weeks later...

I get 300km a tank in my tiptronic R34GTT 4 door too.

Interestingly when I put a bottle of ocatne booster in I got 350km and had been flogging the crap out of it for the whole tank.

I haven't checked, but I suspect I have a Mines ECU or similar. It won't seem to reset to suit Aus fuel and wants 100 Jap fuel.

I am fitting an SAFCII tomorrow, so will see how that goes.

    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
    • To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
