Bahahahahahaha!

Also, some one mentioned a guy flushed his engine with water, any one got a link, i gotta see that thread lol. How some people that stupid manage to survive till adult hood is beyond me.

oh there have been plenty of other great cockups. there was the guy who "ported and polished" his head by hooking the intake up to a bag of sand and then started the car. then there was the guy that came up with DEI, direct exhaust injection where the headers just fed back into the intake so it would be pressurised, just ignoring the fact that you need oxygen to make the fuel burn, and the oxygen gets burnt up with the fuel. i'm sure there have been others as well that i can't think of right now.

Lol thats ridiculous. Here is the link to the guy who decided to use water to flush the bad oil out of his Mustang. lol.

here is another good one, but goes to 65 pages though

Titled Spanish tuner

some mods in the thread

those are "sin grooves" "that will make the mixture travel faster to the centre of the chamber, thus improving efficiency"

theres heaps more, just check out the pics if you don;t have time to read

Ahh this one.. this guy aparently "tuned" a 4g63 motor.. I think when he started it, it was pissing fuel out from somewhere.. lol.(wouldnt even IDLE.. LOL)

btw love the new clutch held together by spot welds.. Should be good for 10Nm Torque. lol

lol there's an almost identical thread to this which has been sent to the wasteland, pretty sure the 'bag of sand in the intake' one was someone taking the piss, well thats what the original thread seems to say anyway.

BTW marc, the old GQ here has Exhaust Gas Recirculation from the headers back into the intake apparently for fuel economy or some other BS

i read all 65 pages of that spanish tuner thread, the last like 30 pages are just car club memebrs from arond the world checking in to say the thread reached their forums. The thread got 2 million views though.

But the 4g63 eclipse he "tuned" including XS power turbo that he lunched the blades on, one piece solid intercooler piping with no flex joints, one pice exhaust, welded clutch, leaking fuel system include fuel pickup 'bored out' with a hacksaw...wait for it... made 360 or so hp...on TWO BAR of boost. Needless to say it lunched more bits on second dyno run and by that stage the guy realised the world was watchin his idiocy an stopped posting updates. Well worth a read for a solid laugh! Oh, and he has the MOST pro respraying skills ever, you gotta check it out, waht with SAU Show n Shine comin up we could learn a thing or two...

    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
    • Not required but appreciated. Super Coppermix Twin even the non-competition model feels like the pedal is noticeably heavier than stock which was pretty well judged IMO. I'll be swapping in the Nismo operating cylinder soon to see how that feels.  Personally I haven't felt anything that justifies replacing the damping loop, at least compared to more modern stuff where the clutch delay valve is actually quite noticeable.
