hey all

my r33 gts-t goes fine, no flat spots, revs out nicely, makes good boost, no smoke and good power.

randomly however (also seems to only happen when the headlights are on) the car will stall. not stall as in konk out, but as in you will be driving, doing whatever speed, red lights will come on on the dash, and there will be no motor. crank the starter, it'll fire up and you can keep driving as if nothing happened.

pretty dangerous... is there any particular earth i should be looking at? it has only happened to me when the headlights are on.

thanks

my skyline does this also...did it the other day whilst driving...but mainly wen im in undercover parking spots...do u have an aftermarket BOV? bcuz mine relates back to the fact i have a drift BOV as told to me by some of the guys on here wen i first got the skyline....pretty much i was in a traffic jam the other day and i took my foot of the pedal to quick and the car just dies...all the lights on the dash come on..car keeps rolling lol just chuck it in neutral and start it up goes fine

not sure if this is the same problem but wen read ur post it sounds like what my car does...ive been told to just go back to stock BOV but i love the plumb back noise :domokun:

      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 though 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.

      SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!!

      The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
