heh guys. Trying to decide on my next mod. I know youve probably heard this before but should i get a safc or a bleed valve system next. I currently have filter and exhaust mods. THe car is running quite rich though.

Also, my clutch is starting to go. Any estimates on what a new one might cost. After I get both the safc and bleed valve i will not be doing anymore mods (heard that before!). THe standard clutch should still be able to handle these few mods I imagine?

Thanks people.

do you think this light flywheel should come before my other desired mods rev210? Is there a reason for suggesting the flywheel while doing the clutch? cheers.

I have worked out an equation over the last few months. It is not a very complicated equation though!

Skyline = (- money+time) - thin wallet = FUN

The clutch requires the removal of the gearbox. And the flywheel requires removal of the clutch. So it just saves you doubling up on labour.

Also make sure you have the timing set nicely. That one is a free power gain. Block the carbon canister to plenum hoses as well.

go play GT2 on playstation. get a stock car (my favourite for this excercise it the Micra Super Turbo)

put it against similarly stock cars.

then go get a superlight flywheel. You absolutely spank the other cars after that.

GT2 not realistic on the light flywheel? sure it is!

I mean I was getting 13.4's with it. Down from 13.8.

Basically the first few gears are completely different to a stock unit. Roughly reducing the flywheel weight by 1 kg equates to an acceleration gain of dropping 50kg from the cars total body weight. With over 4kgs lost from the stocker it's like stripping 200kg out of the car for first gear.

      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)
