it would if that car hadn't been butchered for the 2003 car.

this years car is a completely new design with all new parts. we're still using a monocoque and we've got a Yamaha R6 600cc engine instead, its a little smaller and lighter

Is the rear subframe / engine on the monocoque yet?

I was in at the workshop last week getting Nashy to help me get some bolts off my car so I could put my front strut brace on (had to drill the bastards into little bits). Didn't see any half built cars sitting around...

Hi Guys,

It's been a while since I got on here. I am new to the forums and relatively new to my R32 too. How often do we have Canberra Cruises here, as I keen to get out and say hello some other line drivers and so on.

Thanks

Hi and welcome!Whilst we were all on about a photoshoot until it all went off topic,maybe jump on to the http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=52742 or the http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=52742 to say g'day? Or stay tuned as a photoshoot(which will mean everyone meeting up and cruising,anyway)will come to fruition shortly!!

Yeah, as it's getting into Summer, which means more light, there will be a lot more get togethers. Also since i'm finished uni after friday i won't have much else to do until january :)

    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • 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
