It sure is. I'm running the show today :whistling:

Oh btw I pressurised my intake piping last night, all my clamps etc were fine. The only thing I found was the line going to my boost gauge seems to be leaking. I unhooked it from the plenum and did it again, the only sound was now coming from that hookup at the back of the plenum. So some more vacuum hose on the way home from work this arvo and we'll see how she goes tonight.

Could that really be causing a few psi to leak though?

That's what happen to my car on the weekend, had no boost at all via the gauge, but car was fine, new hose and she's sweet. I suppose every little bit helps.

I have a leak somewhere too! Was driving along the other night and gave it its first real bootful for a few weeks and as it came on boost it sounded like a stock RB25 turbo (Ie Vaccume cleaner) and was slow as hell, Drives fine normally but so im gussing a split some where that blows open under high pressure then seals up ok at low pressure.

It could certainly make you guage read many PSI lower.

Would also potentially affect how the car runs. Anything with an AFM (ie skylines) will be particularly sensitive to boost/vac leaks.

Oh and screw black ops, get this into ya

Nice.

I removed my AFM and replaced it with a full baked bean can (clamp it in tight)

Then I pulled the cooler piping -> actuator vacuum hose and replaced it (on the piping nipple) with a bike tyre valve on a piece of hose and all clamped tight, then hooked that up the my compressor set @ 10psi.

Worked a treat, cost me $7 hahaha.

Oh, plus the baked beans. But now I'm gonna have them for lunch so it's win-win!

Tas called me last night and wanted to catch up. So i said yeah meet me near my place. So I walk down to the car park and there he is standing next to a black guy. I'm like its midnight, abandoned carpark with an asian and a black guy. Yep totally legit. Then after a bit 3 cop cars come out of nowhere arrest some drunk guy down the street. Then keep doing circles around the block obviously looking for some other guy but oddly enough driving past us (the legit guys) very slowly. Fun times.

P.s. The black guy was Shan and yes he is very black.

The end.

LOL having an accidental strayan day today. Strayan days so awesome.

Ahahaha Shan, the darkness.

Accidental Strayan Day FTW.

What did you get defected for?

AHAHAHAHA! F*ck I laughed at that. You should definitely own a 31 bro.

HAHAHA yeah I thought it was a great idea... I actually got it off this very site...

What did you get defected for?

Is this the same old one? Or a NEW defect??

    • 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.
