I have a r33 series II and I have done a few things to it. I would like to know what I should do next. Obviously not go stupid but someone said I should have upgraded my fuel before I did any of this. Bit of advice please ?

I have a FMIC, two stage boost controller, HKS 3.5" exhaust with a high flow cat, dump pipe, top mount turbo, splitfire coil packs and (can't remember the name) sparkplugs with the forked tongue and a POD. :-/

I only run the standard boost as I'm having a issue running high boost..little tip don't put diesel in your car. But i'm getting that fixed.

Whats the next step ? Little things. I basically want to get all the bolt on stuff done first before i go nuts with bigger turbo's stronger motor plennum etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just the standard one that came on the car. I didn't want to go a big turbo until i had all the other bolt on stuff done. Of which I do not know what they are. Then once thats all done standard turbo comes off and a bigger one goes on.

Ok im at the same stage ur at, minus the splitfires. but i got a walbro fuel pump,,i'd say do that next if u want more power(coz a better fuel pump will handle more power if u try to get it out of the car)they can be cheap too if u find a good deal .Otherwise, fuel injectors will get u more power for sure,,dunno much about pricing with them but i think theyre expensive

    • 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)
    • 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.
