okay now I might have to take the idea of the trubo off my mind.. car is fully running like its on 4 cylinders of somethign the whole thing vibrates when idling and sounds like a wrx under acceleration.. guess Ill just have to see what my mechanic says tomoz :D

Update: Mechanic reckons is runnign on 5 maybe 4 cylinders.. he told me to check plugs (i've replaced them), check the fuel return to the furl tank as in might have been blocked and flooding the engine (which I've done runs fine), then he said ignition module (swapped this with my mates made no difference) next up is coil packs, and if not those maybe a blown gasket between the cylinders.. any other suggestions..

Alright I think i've discovered the problem.. I replaced the whole ignition system with that of my mates r33 so I knwo it works fine.. I then proceeded to unplug each coilpack lead one at a time.. as expected the idle changed slightly.. however when I got to the 5th cylinder and unplugged in no change.. im guess this means a problem in cylinder 5..and according to the above problems I'm think maybe a bent valve or valve spring etc.. does that sound possible??

Yes............ Or a crack through the piston ring land.

But unplugging the coil pack on that cylinder still should have made a differance. Maybe the coil pack is faulty or even the loom from the module to the coil pack. Try and swap the loom from your mate's car.

PS: Make sure you have the same series engine (ie: S1 coil packs will not work in S2 engines and vis-versa)

Have you done a compression test yet.

hey guys my turbo i think, makes a noise like this RRREEEEEEEEEE lol, under load, hi revs..

i think its standard 32 but i could be wrong, still ceramic an all..

um and 15psi gets put threw it every day..

goodnight turbo?

fan belt stretchin under load?

how long left till turbo dies?

can i screw the engine if i keep it up?

sorry to hijack...

thanks chris

Yea my turbo makes same noise u mean like a winding noise, its could be the bearings and such when i got my car serviced my mechanic which is benno from racepace called up and said that turbo makeing winding noise and could be on its way, he suggested not to do a dyno because it could blow up then and it could not said should get new one befor i do a dyno, as for how long i dont know i geuss it depends how you drive the skyline and if you use it allot.

Definately nothing in cyclinder 5 and we swapped everything between the two cars.. igntion module, loom, coilpack the lot..I pulled the plugs and plug number 5 had a build up of what looked like oil on it (keeping in mind brand new plugs were fitted yesterday) I also noticed when shining a torch through the plug hole a build up of black sludgy gunk on the top of the head (or whatever ya wanna refer to it as) in both cylinder 4 and 5.. the rest were absolutely clean (i could see bare metal)

Update: Looks like a gasket, between cylinder 4 and 5...umm water coming out the exhaust, umm cylinders missing.. and when you rev it coolant comes out the radiator cap rather than runs away from it.. if that makes sense..

eh and got the compression test shit here so will do one tomoz for confirmation a head gasket doesnt worry me as much as engine damage.. im going to europe for 2motnhs shortly and my bro is a mechanic so he ca do his work while I'm away :D

It defiantly sounds like the common symptoms of a head gasket. My mate just got himself a subaru rs wagon and he has all the same problems as what your having, exept in his case oil has forced its way down his heater hose and is now filling his floor with oil and coolent lol.

    • 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.
