Hi all, looking into purchasing a 2000 model Autech 260 but not the biggest fan of the two front grill lights they added to them and was just wondering if the lights are easily removable and whether a 98 model or older grill (withought lights) will fit straight in its place? as they seem to have the same shaped front.

im not 100% but i dont think the series 1 grill will fit as it wont be wide enough to fill the gap left by the removal of the series 2 grill. because the series 2 headlights are smaller than the series 1. my advice just buy a series 1 autech the diferences are minor and cosmetic

Well there goes that f#!king idea lol. Bronx... easier said than done when there's a 2000 model with 64000km for $17000 lol. And autech stageas aren't exactly common vehicles for sale let alone specifically series 1's but no rush

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      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.

      I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.

      Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
