Hahaha that article just had me laughing in the canteen! Since when has "thrust" been a term for cars...I don't reacall too many falcons having Jet-engines?

It's extremely laughable, once again the ignorant in the population are being warned against cars that can reach in excess of 200Kmh omg! Pffft my corolla could do that, it was no supercar!

The comparison of the torque outputs was quite amusing though...considering the Porsche had a massive power advantage, build quality advantage...and basically the fact it's a way better car that would feel quite stable at "supercar" speeds.

Once again no interesting story to occupy the front page, so let's scare the general public with misinformation.

It's not about top speed, it's how fast you get to the speed limit :(

LOL most cars will do more than that in 2nd!!!!!!

lol i know, that comment pissed me off, they were just trying to use scare tactics like the govenment. 100km/h in 2nd means SFA, my woo (77kw) does 90km/h in 2nd.

they went on to say that Ford won't release it's top speed, and they were going to make it there mission to find out.

The same thing happened 30 years ago with the Ford GT Phase 3 and Monaro Oz muscle cars, the press kicked up a stink about these rolling "killing machines" and government pressure was applied to stop the manufacture of these cars and the Australian Automobile industry was put back 15 years behind the European, Japanese and American car industries.

Not because of not having fast cars, but because the research and development into getting more power from less energy was not allowed to water down to the family car, meaning we had these gas guzzling cars with no power to drive the kids around.

meh 2 cents

I wonder with a 130kmh speedo if the speed beep beep aleart that you can set would still go all the way out to 190kmh...

How silly can they be!

While on Bris31 last nite on DW motorTV or whatever its called they had some custom built super car, that could do 0-200kmh in 7.8sec, had a top speed over 400kmh, and 1200+hp. But if that car was brought over here for a car show, it would be something the press hailed as being this unbeliveably great car!

And what about Bently Turbo Rs? And even a number of the high powered 4x4s they can motor along pretty quick.

I say they need to pull their heads out of their arse thats just bloody dumb:pissed: , looking at it if Oz falcon can be imported to UK & the US & such how much money would australia make out of it + kicken the shit out of some of the euros :kick: , if they start this shit again like with the GTHO's we will end up even futher behind the 8 ball then what australia is, the biggest prob is not how power full/fast a car is its selling them to a nutter that will push it to the max on public roads but again it comes back to the old one "SAVE IT FOR THE TRACK"

      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.
