my mechanic went to fit them up and they didnt fit, had to make custom dump pipes, apparently the turbo flange? was the problem, he is one the top tuners in nz.....so im hoping he was right! plus had to make up new oil, water returns from the turbos, can find exactly what is the problem if you want......

Mine are here in a week (or two) and id imagine wont have any issues like any other grand name dump.

But then im using GT-SS, but same turbo essentially, people using them on 2530's = same as -5

I thought you posted earlier that your using trust dumps as there the best?Was I mistaken :D

I sure as hell hope they bolt up to the Gt2860R-7's because i have Tomei dumps sitting at home waiting for my turbos which were ordered about an hour ago.

I will be very pissed if they dont fit, my cars been off the road too long for me to get other dumps to fit my front pipes.

how much for the old trust ones?

the reason why ur dump pipe doesnt fit ur new turbo is because u bought the wrong exhaust housing

the exhaust housing u have must be to suit a SR20 dump pipe

an eazy fix for this problem is get ur standard Rb turbo's exhaust housing machined to suit ur new 2860

exactly wat i was goin to point out

Shit.. just read the rest of the thread..

i'm sure one of the dumps has an indent to overcome that problem of fouling..

either way i wont ever know since i have a/m turbo inlets anyway......

i've gone from Trust to tomei... trust is pain in the burrrtt

    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • 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
