Ok ive searched here and there over the past few months, havnt found a solution and need help if there is any.

Its been about 2 or 3 months now my air con stopped working (randomly worked twice for a few minutes in the past 2 months when i put it on). Not only that but when i put my "reds" on a clicking noise sounds from behind the climate control unit under the dash which clicks around 12 times.

Fed up on friday arvo, i pulled out the climate control thinking it was making the noise and responsible for the lack of "cold air". It wasnt the unit. So i pulled out the glove box and the noise came from behind where the climate control unit sits. I thought "fark pulling out the dash" and didnt.

I took out the air con fuse from the engine bay and the noise is still there, the fuse is also fine. I disconnected the climate control and the noise was gone... WTF!!! Just to clarify the heater and normal air (18) work fine its the air con im talking about.

Other problem is my hand brake light stays on in the mornings when its cold but in the after noon im pretty sure it never stays on...

Other problem is when you press that buttom that makes the side mirrors retract in the left side works fine but the drivers side mirror doesnt retract. If i physically retract it myself, it will go "out" to normal position when i press the button.

Thanks in advanced i hope these problems have unfortunately been experienced by someone else.

Air con clicking is a small plastic cog/s that are stripped and slipping. Do a search and there are even pics, but pulling the dash to bits is something I put in the 'fark that' basket for now as my compressor has shat itself anyway. Good luck with that

handbrake light is the brake fluid is low, cold in the morning means fluid shrinks compared to afternoon it expands ect ect, i had the same thing with my hi-cas light

Could also be the switch at under the lever. They are a real cheap shitty item and mine used to stick until I sorted it out.

      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

      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)
