Hi guys, 

looking for opinion if that worth to swap vq30det instead vq25det? i couldn't find any topic with similar project, i wonder if awd system will work properly and gearbox will fit straight? idea is that solving issue with ecu tuning as vq30det is supported by nistune, actually some will ask why change the engine instead of buying ecu? but first i couldn't find any ecu for that and second i have spare vq30det engine already)

I didn't know Nistune supported Y33 VQ30DET, interesting...

From info on hardtuned (and another SAU thread) the Y33 and M35 ecu pin outs are pretty different. And from my understanding, the Y series ECUs control things like the climate control and part of the navigation display. Not sure about the M35 but you risk losing some of the interior functions. Not to mention the new ECU would probably need info from the auto box, and M35 runs RE5 while the Y series all run RE4.
Sounds like a big task and lots of unknowns.

Doesn't really help you but the only VQ30 into Stagea swap I know about used a Link ecu and manual box from a Z (so RWD)

I have recently put a Haltech Elite 2500 in my M35 with the VQ25DET, i believe it is the first to have it done in the country. I have been working with Matt from Haltech to clean up and sort out the base map for the computer, which was a sucess. The car is now tuned and it runs beautifully.

Anymore details? Is it just acting as a piggyback?

Mine isn’t yet, but it can be added in, after the motor is wired there still are a few available outputs that can be used for what ever you please. If you run out of outputs you can get a CAN hub and add more.

      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)

      Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.

      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.
