Hey guys,

Have a few question about the torque gauge in the din pocket? It never seems to do anything? I am wondering if it is not working like when should it come on? when i am doing what and where??

Why such the shit fuel consumption, $100 at the petrol station and only 400km a week. this car is making me need to take out a loan to afford it, haha lucky the government pays for it :) I understand they are a turbo car and all that, but my 300zx twin turbo 3L has a similar tank size and gets and extra 250km plus on fuel, haha better of using that as a daily... Pitty its a show/track car!

Also i have a 2003 M35 i am wondering what standard boost these are running in them from factory? I have not put a boost gauge in to see yet, and unsure what 1bar is?

I have put a Front Mount inter-cooler, and also a 3" dump with a straight through 3" exhaust system the whole way, I am wondering if i should boost it up at all to support the mods or leave it fine, still needs a tune with the supporting mods and was going to see if i boost it up at the same time? Anyone else in this experience please let me know what you have done and also this car is used as a daily driver.

Regards

Matthew

I'm assuming our attessa is the same as gtr. They won't give a dash light if there is a little air in the system and it won't show front split on the gauge due to it. It only gives a light when there is a lot of air in it.

Standard boost isn't 1bar either, it's 13PSI on an RS/RX and ~15PSI on an AR-X/AXIS I believe.

Matt, did you try locking the diffs? That always shows torque being driven to the front wheels when I do it.

Other than that mine never moved until I did the exhaust, and now it always dances around corners :devil:

But still no movement in a straight line, unless I lock them.

That's really strange, mine rockets straight up in straight lines but around corners it's glued to the 0.

It's quite an interesting system; on one of my local roads, a constant radius left, there's a dip, then a rise right after.

When going 80km/h and above; the gauge flicks right to the top just as the car goes over the rise. No loss of traction, but it's obviously semi-predictive. In the wet, I'm sure you could slide the car sideways over the rise; as it unloads the suspension.

    • 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.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
