Hi Guys,

Just thought i would warn you in regards to purchasing parts from nissan.

If you ever need parts contact Riverside Infiniti in california.

The guy to deal with is Tony Nazzal, email: [email protected]

The reason why i posted this is because i had something wrong with my starter motor. It was making a noise when cranking the car in the morning like a crunching sound.

Anyway i got a quote for a new one from nissan, $1490.00, stuff that. Contacted infiniti and ended up buying one for $385 delivered, brand new and genuine. Bluddy rip off's

he is probably australian considering he drives a V35 skyline and not an infinity :)

and it wouldnt surprise me that US parts are so much cheaper anyway. getting anything out of japan isnt cheap!

I agree with you Chris, however i dont know anyone in the industry but you get my gist yea. I mean come on we are talking about a difference of $1015, thats alot of dough.

Hey Chris just a quick question i had a dead battery a couple of weeks ago which you might be aware of as i created a thread about the stalling thing. I asked my auto electrician whether something was draining my battery. He detected that a component on the car was draining 0.02 either volts or amps not to sure how you measure it. He said not to worry about it as it is not ebough to drain the battery. Would that be right? How long would it take to make the battery go dead.

cheers mate

I am pretty sure that the ECU has a constant power source and I am pretty sure there would be a few things being powered from there.

Hey Andy thanks. Im just concerned because i have seen a few threads on american forums about a faulty bose radio draining energy even when the car is turned off. It drains enough energy to make the battery go dead within 4 days. Apparently there is a fault in the head unit that causes this.

Mate all you have to do is email him, tell him what car you have (Remember you must refer to your car as an infiniti G35 coupe or sedan depending on what you have including the year model) and also the part that you need.

You don't really need the part number.

part numbers help. when I'm buying buttons the call to him is easily 30 minutes. with the part numbers ita a 10 minute call. I don't bother with email. takes 2-3 days to get a reply. prefer to deal with nissan japan. 2hr turn around on email and I can usually get straight onto who I need.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.

      Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.

      @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.

      Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
