V36 Rev Probs, Firmware Update Anyone?

[princesng]

Experienced this once on my other car. It was a dirty throttle body..

Felt it too on my friends turbocharged vw and corrolla... seems normal though. Slight stutter on acceleration from stop.

doesnt happen on my 350gt. Im hearing enough loose panels in the car

Just putting my 2cents worth

Hey mate i have this problem as well in my car when i put car into drive from stationary to drive,or drive to reverse it gives a jerk.Sometimes while driving the car it gives stutter for about 2-3 seconds above 1000 RPM,Car is back with dealers to get it fixed clearly explained them if they can get this fixed more than happy to get that back otherwise dealwith them in other way.So the salesman at the caryard is keeping me updated what's been going on i just recieved text this evening saying they have cleaned the throttle body and car is booked in for throttle soft wear RESET I Dont know what he meant with this RESET.If u got any idea could you explai.

Cheers

They cleaned the throttle, and now it's probably worse, so you are paying for them to do a throttle re-learn now, that should have been done in the first place imo. It's a 10 minute job with the Consult reader, so don't let them charge you through the nose...

My last mechanic told me he couldn't connect to my car using consult because it was configured to speak to his 2x R35GTR's only, does that sound legit?

Any luck with your ECU update though Infiniti?

[scotty nm35]

Sounds like bullshit, all he should need to do is remove the GTR card. Unless it wasn't an actual consult unit?

Forgot to tell ya they imported this car for me from japan,when car arrived here in nz it had acid rain in paint (Roof,Boot lid).Right side doors were all heavily chipped.Bonnet was heavily chipped as well,I had to fight for this to get it fixed as i picked up my car on rainy day so cudnt see any paint blemishes.When i washed my car 1st time i saw all this shit.Car had very little brake fluid,took it back to them dey started saying its white paint on my car which they cudn't see it was acid rain.

Then other thing brake pedal pulsing,after another month,All the door lights,dome light,retractable mirrors stopped working.Car was at dealers again to get this problem fixed

[princesng]

mate you've had a shocka :-/

I think so as well but if my car is not right this time wen i go to pick it up as per Consumer acts i am gonna get money back dats it cz i hve had enough of it already in last 3 months

[awsam]

Dump it, this car is a total lemon
Hopefully tomorrow I get good news from Infiniti.
I'm worried though that the firmware will not fix it and instead its a "Oil gallery gasket" ?? Is that just a oil pan rubber gasket?

There are a few Orings they could be talking about, some in between the sump and block, some between the block and cam chain cover.

Unplugging those solenoids a couple of pages back is unlikely to make a difference to the affects of a damaged O-Ring/gasket?

It will stop the units actuating. At a guess if the advance/retard mechanism is banging the end of it's travel then the Orings will be fine, it will more likely just need camshaft degree reprogramming. There is a menu dedicated to cam actuation diagnostics on the consult 3. Things like oil viscosity and oil pressure will change the requirements for cam control away from the factory settings enough to require reprogramming of the pwm signal. These engines learn to some extent but there are definitely re-learn procedures your mech can try.

Failing that, I have heard of the hydraulic solenoids getting blocked inside, there is a fine gauze filter on them. If you are having problems with the electronic actuator though, then you may need to replace the advance/retard assembly as I mentioned earlier. Quite a common fault on the VQ25's.

Thanks for the extra info, sounds like more work than anyone I've come across in Adelaide is enthusiastic enough to investigate.
I really wish I could slap a bandaid on it and just f**k it off lol.

Hopefully Infiniti have finally got an answer for me tomorrow morning.

Infiniti just got in touch, they've finally been given permission to discuss the logistics with the department handling the update in Japan.

[Elcid]

That's awesome news! Looking forward to hear how it all goes mate.
