Ok guys,

Just an updated thread, because the other one was what, 11 pages?? And if someone is going to want to come on my cruise they aren't going to want to sort through 11 pages of crap :D haha.

So.

Cruise this Sunday, August 17th.

Meeting at 1pm, at Tennyson.

Heading South along the coast, making a few stops in between where I'll be taking photos of the beasts lol.

And finishing up at Maslins Beach (no getting nakie :P)

If you haven't already received the route details from me, send a PM my way with your email, and i can email the route details to you, as they are in a word document :D

Also, if you ARE coming, could you please just write a short post on here to let me know, so then i know what sort of numbers to expect.

Cheers for that guys!! Can't wait :D

-Charmaine

I'm going to have to bail!

Last night, I noticed a drop in oil pressure, so I pulled over, checked my oil and found I had lost 50% of oil in only a week. Drove around the block, had white smoke pissing out the exhaust. Stopped, checked oil again and had lost even more oil!

There's no knocking or strange sounds, still revs smoothly right up to 8k and it still pulls hard.

Thinking it's the rings or turbo oil seals - more likely the oil seals, as at high boost ever since I had the car I've had a small amount of white smoke coming out, but only at high boost. It's been doing that for a good few months, so now I think it's finally given way! Car will be off the road until mid-October now due to lack of funds! I'm not happy at all.

I've booked it in @ Boostworx so I can get a compression test to make sure it isn't the rings. It doesn't sound like a rex, so I haven't dropped a piston either!

    • 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)
