How did you manage to fix it? Am currently having the same problem with my rb25de where it's idle hunting between 1500 down to around 6-700 rpm. Have cleaned out the AAC valve, checked for air leaks done most of what I have read on here with no change. Thought it may have had something to do with the fuel filter as there was a little pool of fuel at the top of it, but since replacing it nothing has changed. Can someone please help me out here

Cleaned the aac valve. ..

now the only issue is it sometimes drop to almost below 500 rpm when shifting but so far have not shut off the engine so I'm cool with that!

Prior to this cleaning , sometimes engine would rev to 0 and shut off. [emoji44]

Guys... My car is possesed/idle hunt again. So obviously I knew what to do. Idled great after cleaning. Been years since I last cleaned it...
This time however I didn't fully remove the screw though as I'm afraid I might damaged the rubber oring like I did in the past... Plus it was really really hard to fully remove the screw. Pos oring must've been stuck.

So anyway it started idle hunting less than 2 days later !!! very mild but got worst over time... Now it's basically idle hunting in every traffic stop but it WILL go away after 20 or so seconds...

Any ideas where I should check again? Or is the iac valve tired/broken? Or maybe the solenoid? Or maybe the oring is damaged?

    • 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)
