Hi all

I need some doubts answered.

What is the "max safe speed" that a 4 door r33 model skyline can go to for 1st gear and 2nd gear?

It is a rb25de engine. auto transmission.

sorry for asking but the RPM meter is eff'ed :/

and also last but not least the tyre pressure on stock wheels.

thnx all :3some:

If you have to ask you shouldn't own one...

4 Doors have a much higher top speed than the 2 doors...safe top speed is about 400kmp/h and auto will handle it with no drama's at all.

NO!

If its an auto, drive it nicely and let it shift by itself. Don't slap shift gears, just leave it in drive, and if ...for what ever reason, you absolutely must and insist on using sub gears....there is a rev limiter which SHOULD kick in before you blow anything up...then again, do it on a regular basis and It'll blow up anyway. Get the tacho fixed...that won't be rocket science...well for most people it isnt.

Tyre pressure should be 32 PSI all round if I recall correctly.

I'd suggest 60 in 1st, and 100 in 2nd be the limit...but if it's an auto, then just change the trans fluid and filter, then leave it to change on it's own...thats what a group of highly experienced engineers got paid to design it for. Unless you know better, of course.

      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)

      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.
