got a workshop manual.if u live in perth u can borrow it.([email protected])

...to line everything up for top dead centre:

*the mark on the left (looking at engine from radiator side) cam gear will be pointing northwest

*the mark on the right cam gear will be pointing north east.

*the mark on the crank shaft gear will be souteast

your timing belt's marks will then all match up with those.

then to do the timing:

*get engine up to temp

*unplug the TPS (throttle position sensor)

*loosen 3 bolts holding the CAS onto the engine enough to move it slightly

*hook up your timing light to the loop at the back of the engine or the no. 1 coil/plug (as well as the battery)

*point the timing light at the harmonic balancer and press your button

*the light should be matched to the 4th line (yes, that's 15 degrees - first line is 0, second is 5 and so on)

*adjust CAS until the timing light flash lines up with 15 degrees

*tighten cas, plug in TPS and away you go.

ah ok kewl so theres timing marks on the head for the cams and a promiate mark on the block for the crank timing is there ??

so with the timing theres no need to go into a dianostics mode or anything. Unpluging the tps sounds alittle wired for me all other cars i have timed at work have a produre to do base timing. Is that the produre that the workshop manual states i am not saying u doing know what your talking about just sounds strange to me thats all

thanks

yeah dude, unplugging the tps is suggested in the workshop manual - that's how it gets it's 'base' timing.

    • 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)
    • Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
