last night i filled my r33 up with 60$ of 95 gull premium.

The week before hand i filled up the same fuel, with only $50 dollars.

anyway, as sooon as i drove my car out, its idle was acting up, i mean... when i was doing clutch control, and going slow in first gear, it was jumping forward.

and also as i drove off, and changed gears when speeding up, the exhaust was popping at 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear changes.

I thought ohh yeah, ill just let this new fuel settle in and didnt think about it tooo much.

Later that night as i tried to start my car, it took longer kicking over.

The real problem came when i turned my lights on = the idle was rapidly increasing and then decreasing, surging, from 1000 to 500 and back, and then it dropped lower - still surging back and forth until it got to 0 rpm, and it stalled.

Now my car has a flat battery and i can't start it obviously.

I hope someone can help, because i have no clue what to do and i need my car. Thankyou :D

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.

      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

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      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...

      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
