my r32 gtr has an issue with tune ...

i rebuilt it last year .. pistons oil pump re-co head and turbos . stock ecu

issue is when i time the car with new cas sensor it runs very well , 230+atws ... but 1 week later , it detunes itself and runs sluggish. alot more noticable above 3000rpm. engine doesnt miss hesitage , engine lacks intake and turbo noises and a heap of power above 4000rpm. . . . why do i have to keep playing with the CAS sensor .. car drives fine though ....

i put 2mm washer on timing case, followed by CAS sensor, spring washer and 2mm washer

wiring issue? should i find another ecu?

I've had a car do the same thing, replaced countless CAS's over a couple of years. It ended up being a bent CAS mounting bracket that wasn't holding the CAS straight and it would stuff them in no time. it also seemed to be alot worse when it was cold. hope that helps.

stock cam gears, timing is spot on .. just cleaned the CAS sensor up again and im flying :) ...for now :P

sounds interesting , ill have a real good look . sounds possible/logical :) ill get back

got rid off my timing case and had a look at my cas braket. the two dals on CAS bracket are good. left the timing case off , only using the rubber seal that sits around as a washer/spacer ....... under my CAS sensor bolted to the blacket

its been one week and car runs well :rofl: now to put the timing case back :thumbsup:

thanks for throwing me in the right direction ... problems not over yet XD

    • 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
    • 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)
