Installing Hks Gt-rs Questions: Banjo Bolt Position, Copper Washers, Oil Drain Gasket..


Recommended Posts

I just took the car for a quick run, its sounding good, drives fine. Damn the induction is LOUD, I like it. :)

There was abit of smoke/steam still coming out of the engine bay and upon closer inspection its directly where the dump bolts up to the turbo. I think it may be the Ultrablue 77B thats burning up, I put it on the dumpside gasket cos thats what the guy at the exhaust shop told me to do. Said it was sensor safe and should be fine. :paranoid:

Man thermal wrapping is expensive, I just unpluged the line and relocated. Much to my surprise it wasn't much coolant pissing out at all so its not bad. Its just sitting on the same metal lines the oil feed is. I just realised I didn't attach the picture in the last post, Manwhore can you have a look at this and tell me if its okay for the lines to sitting on this pipe?

Hey Manwhore I would like to do it but I can't atm as the car doesn't have wheels with proper tyres on it. I'll shall be getting new wheels next week and I'll let you know then.

That line hitting the aircon pipe looks fine to me, just put a bit of plastic or rubber insulation around it just to be safe, by the way are you using the lines that came with the brand new gt-rs kit? or did you buy the gt-rs second hand and got lines custom made up?

awesome, let us knwo then.

If not much coolant came out, then that means you MIGHT have air in the system. If it was me, i'd bleed it. Even after I drained the radiator, when I undid the bajo, about 4-4.5 L came out.

nizmo, the lines are from the GT-RS kit, it was second hand but its what came with the kit originally.

Manwhore, its just resting against it. :) Like theres a natural bend in the line and that pipe stops it from doing its full bend, the coolant feed is sitting on that line as well though you can't see it in the picture.

I'll bleed the system, the amount of coolant that came out was probably wasn't much because as long as I was holding the braided line up it no more would come out until I bent the line lower allowing coolant to spill out.

The whole time the engine is running and rocking from side to side, the S/S line will rub thru the alloy a/c line

I will give it 1 week maybe 2 before your A/C stops working. Best to space it away or put a rubber sleeve on it

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
