Hey guys,

Noticed the other day while taking the car for a lil fang at round 4.5krpm+ while on boost and full thorttle "splutter splutter" coming from the back of the car. Just wondering if anyone else has suffered this prob before? Im due for a service soon but its only a fluid one so i doubt that has anything to do with my prob. Last service (6mths ago) i had Iridiums put in so i don't think that could be the cause, maybe coilpacks? Or in need for a tune?

Thanx in advanced.

buy 6 BCPR7ES spark plugs and gap them to .7 gap. see how you go

+1 to do that. does it mainly happen when its under load as well?

it may be your coils, try taping them up with some good brand elec tap and getting new plugs gapped to like.8 or less depending on how much boost your running. works a treat.

Hows it going mate. The same problem occured in r32 when i was running higher boost levels. Tracked the problem down to the wrong spark plug. I've happened to stumble across that the xr6 turbo run NGK Iridium plug with a .6 gap. Part number is BKR6EIX. Hope this sorts out your problem.

I'll be getting a service in a couple of weeks so i'll get the mechs to do a nice once over. I doubt the plugs would be gone as they're no more then 5,000kms old. Maybe need re-gapping its true, i'll keep you guys updated...please don't be coilpacks (crosses fingers)

95% its coilpacks...

sure way to tell is tape them up..

I had the exact problem and now its fixed with tape.. sure its a bandaid solution.. but its been working for the last 9 months so far

The reason regapping the plugs work is the gap is reduced... and seeing as the spark takes the path of least resistance it sparks correctly.

    • 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.
