I don't see much talk if any about them on here.

I know they are really popular in the States so they have more people talking on forums there but i was hoping a few crew on SAU have one or are keen to get one.

 Well if you come across this thread and have a V37 post a pic and say hi 😁

They look menacingly stunning but I'm not keen on their overly complex coolant plumbing for the turbos.

Just the unfortunate reality of making a turbo engine with truly modern power delivery. The W2A charge cooler adds a second coolant loop and makes things very messy in the vicinity of the intake manifold. A2A eliminates the extra plumbing and issues with coolant leaking into the engine but now you have a bunch of additional volume after the compressor that has to be pressurized to build boost.

You're right. It is an exercise in compromise. I much prefer the lesser complexity in going air-to-air and the amount of people who've reported on their coolant system spewing forth their contents after a hose failure is well-known.

It's the only reason why I would avoid buying one, despite how pornographic they are to my eye and have me lusting after one!

That is so cool.

How do get to watch that event?

They used to be on TV here in NZ last season.

I'm not sure what engine they ran but I think they used the Merc engine which could of been the 2LTR Turbo.

(Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

it is very much a performance focused hybrid, not economy focused, put the boot in and it will drive with both petrol and electric together, but won't run both together under normal driving.  When the engine is running while accelerating or cruising it has a heavy preference to use the petrol engine to drive the car and charge the battery, once there is enough charge in the battery while cruising at a constant speed it will switch to electric only and shut down the engine until either the battery charge level gets low, or you give it more throttle than it can cope with in electric only.  it shuts down the engine while decelerating and charges the battery via regenerative braking.

Will run on electric when it can while cruising up to about 105-110km/h, above that mine keeps the engine running all the time and only uses the electric motor if you put the boot in to overtake., I have heard the RWD will run on electric to cruise at higher speeds, probably due to less drive-train loss..

Otherwise it drives a lot like a conventional car, it is a normal 7sp auto, just has an electric motor and dry clutch where the torque converter normally is, transition to electric/petrol is very smooth, you often don't even notice if you aren't watching the tacho.

I haven't driven the VR powered Qs, but have heard the performance sits somewhere in between the 300hp sport and 400hp red sport.

That sounds like the JDM models, they have the infiniti logo on the front, but 'Skyline' across the back, the hybrid wears the 350GT badge too.

That said, I didn't think the JDM models were eligible for grey import??  unless they are AuDM models that people have retrofitted with the skyline badges.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
