Nismoid, what do you think of the centre muffler idea as opposed to your two new rear mufflers?

I have two, not both at the rear though.

One before the diff, one after it.

Whilst one middle muffler will make your set-up quieter for sure, its dependant on what you deem acceptable as to whether or not 'its enough'

Even putting in a middle muffler, it will still reverb/echo or whatever the term is and still be reasonable 'loud' as i would call it.

As lately we've been playing around with a few 'things' and the best gains are making things as quiet as possible at or near the rear muffler

that looks like williamsF1`s car (ben I thinｋ his name was?).

nice exhaust. not sure how good those mufflers are, but really the only way to quieten it is more muffler. thin wall stainless exhausts are also generally louder than an equivelant thicker wall mild steel system. but obviously one looks nice, the other doesn`t.

I've had a muffler added where the crossover existed previously. (twin 2 1/2in and twin 2 1/2 out. ) It's still a bit too noisy so I guess the next step is to change the rear mufflers.

I can't be 100% sure but I think the muffler in place of the split has improved performance, especially higer in the rev range. Is it possible that the split was restrictive?

Yes, it is WilliamsF1 car, now in Perth.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      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...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      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)
