Hiya!

Prolly won't remember me, I posted a few weeks ago looking to buy a GTS (non turbo) Skyline..

Well, the sands have run thru the hourglass and I just picked up a 96 R33 GTST at auction thru Prestige..:D

My dwelling on a non-turbo Skyline lasted about 2 hours..after my bro told me that if I picked up a non-turbo one, I'd probably spend the time I drive it regretting not purchasing the GTST..and he was probably right!

So now I play the waiting game - compliancing!

Oh well, thought I'd tell someone!

Seeya!

Apparently it didn't sell at auction, but was able to privately bid for it.

Picked it up for 920,000Y FOB - maybe a bit on the high side, but it was a 4.5 rating, low kms, but I like the look of it and the 17" wheels, plus all I really wanted was a skyline with a sunroof..so I don't really mind.

Dunno if you guys also saw the 97 one on the list with sunroof / 18" wheels on the list last nite, it was on auction last week too (passed in at 950,000Y) - I wanted to bid on that again, but missed out. Had more dents and some cracks in it 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 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.
