Would help if we knew what sandwich plate you bought and what oil pressure sender it is.

My suggestion, if the thread appears to be ok, use loctite thread locker when you screw it in to seal the thread. But it will all depend on what parts are being used.

so im not making another thread for a similar problem my tuner just told me there is a small dent in the sump and it could cause problems what do you guys think. im only running a standard rb25det with 10psi and a microtech ecu. i dont know if he is trying to take me for a ride but it is hard because i can not get down there to look at it myself due to my work hours. what are your thoughts

lol small dent... if you saw the sump on one of my track car's you'd cringe... they can take a fair wack before hitting the pick up.

is the sender the correct thread for the sandwich plate? what brand? post pics!

thing is my tuner only wants to do a basic tune until i fix the dent in the sump because he reckons its going to cause problems however when i put the motor in i checked the sump and tiny dents didnt bother me i have seen some big dents in my time also being a engine rebuilder i just think he is trying to take me for a ride.

and with the sandwich plate its the main center stalk that its leaking around aparently not sure ill have to have a good look myself i think. i reckon maybe it was just a pinched oring or something

An "engine rebuilder" having trouble fitting a oil filter sandwich plate... hmmm....

I wouldn't use one personally, esp not an ebay one, heard too many horror stories about them failing and people dying.

the lowest part of my sump is dented in about 30-40mm on the whole bottom section, didnt even bother hitting it out when i had the sump off and motor apart, its fine. unless its blocking/breaking the pickup (you'd know by now as you'd have pressure problems) its fine

thing is im not looking at drifting or tracking it and im only looking at running 300rwkw down the track. and its only going to really be street and maybe a bit of strip use so i cant justify spending that money on a sump when i got a spare sump laying around. also the tuner just tuned my car and has had no oil pressure issues so i dont even know if its worth changing it but to be on the safe side i might change it

      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

      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)
