I get home after a nights watching drift videos at my brothers house and settle in for the evenings read of SAU with a mug of milo. Sounds relaxing huh?

Well just as im getting comfortable my alarm goes off. Now my Autowatch NEVER false alarms so instantly im panicking. I run to the bedroom to get the knife, grab the keys on the way and stop the siren for the neighbours sake. Run out the front ready to put some f%&ker in a world of hurt and..... nothing. Not a soul around.

So i stand out the front of the house for a good 15 minutes, knife in hand muttering things like "cmon you pricks, come get some!". Neighbours must think im a little crazy.

So i check the car over, make sure the doorlocks havent been tampered with etc... All is well, but im still bloody nervous.

Now how the hell am I meant to sleep?

that happened to me once, I had an Autowatch with the ultrasonic sensors so any movement within the car would set it off.

there was this night when i was at a friend's place, alarm went off, went out to check it out...nothing.

2-3 mins later alarm went off again...went out to check again...nothing! :)

Decided to sit in my car for awhile and see what's going on, turns out there was a bloody moth trapped inside that was setting the sensors off! :D

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
