Nexus_SiX, I like your intro www page. Almost got me, then I started wondering why I was seeing an IE error while using Opera under Linux :rolleyes:.

Hehe.. at.

I still get about a 50% ratio telling me the site is "broken"

As for the ECU thingo, my choice was twofold.

Cash. I could get the Power FC installed $500 cheaper than a wolf.

Longevity. We still plan to get a stagea down the track. This ecu will fit it :rofl: So it is a long term investment.

Easy of install, uninstall was the reason over the afc/cam gear combo. Which, essentially is doing the same thing really.

If you don't have an auto go the light flywheel. Drop your 1/4 times by 0.4sec.

Management over the intercooler. Even the humble S-AFC II will work wonders and leave some coin for other mods.

All up I reckon for $2k you can :

Ogura flywheel / S-AFC II / HKS exhaust cam gear / KCA349 rear cradle kit / Maybe get a custom front underdrive pulley machined up and some exhaust wrap.

just on that note, one of the things which Gus has done AS WELL AS the pfc, is heat-wrap everything. I reckon this could explain quite a big chunk of the perceived advantage which his car has over bog-stock.

It might not be all PFC!

LOL @ rev...

you'll have to come for a cruise one day and then we can see what happens.. :rolleyes:

Nah you'll have to go to the drags one day then we can see what happens.

You see, I have one point left and appart from the obvious legality whatever spanking I hand out at the strip is only made worse on a regular (private) road surface.

$1500 for a Power FC fitted and tuned would have to be 2nd hand and have no hand controller or boost control.

Normally yes.

But this was new and with hand controller. (+free tuning :) - what can i say? /me leet)

    • 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)
