I know someone at Tweed if that isn't too far for you. Chris at Doug Maurer Motor Repairs - he's very thorough and has dealt with a lot of imports, etc.

Thanks everyone.

I figured out what it was.

The knock i thought i heard was normal, i just never listen to it before :/

Oh and you should check you #6 spark plug cylinder as mine had a bit of oil... Now i gotta take valve cover off and re-seal !

Also maybe a good idea to install a oil catcher

I'm bringing this post back from the dead since no ones likes multiple threads asking the same question.

Looking at picking up a stagea, and I need someone to go over this car and find everything that's wrong with it. Hidden rust, gauge age of timing belt, look at suspension bushings, leak down test on the motor, etc. A full comprehensive inspection.
I've seen the exterior of the car, and it is not mint. Makes me hesitant to believe that it runs "mint"as the current owner says.

I'm located in Currumbin, but the car is in Tweed. Apparently it has rego until december, so traveling to a shop shouldn't be an issue. What are your guys' suggestions? Shops that have employees who own stageas take the first spot, obviously.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
