Experienced this once on my other car. It was a dirty throttle body..

Felt it too on my friends turbocharged vw and corrolla... seems normal though. Slight stutter on acceleration from stop.

doesnt happen on my 350gt. Im hearing enough loose panels in the car :rolleyes:

Just putting my 2cents worth

Hey mate i have this problem as well in my car when i put car into drive from stationary to drive,or drive to reverse it gives a jerk.Sometimes while driving the car it gives stutter for about 2-3 seconds above 1000 RPM,Car is back with dealers to get it fixed clearly explained them if they can get this fixed more than happy to get that back otherwise dealwith them in other way.So the salesman at the caryard is keeping me updated what's been going on i just recieved text this evening saying they have cleaned the throttle body and car is booked in for throttle soft wear RESET I Dont know what he meant with this RESET.If u got any idea could you explai.

Cheers

They cleaned the throttle, and now it's probably worse, so you are paying for them to do a throttle re-learn now, that should have been done in the first place imo. It's a 10 minute job with the Consult reader, so don't let them charge you through the nose...

My last mechanic told me he couldn't connect to my car using consult because it was configured to speak to his 2x R35GTR's only, does that sound legit?

as car is under 6 months warranty but it has got too many problems lkike when engine is hot,we turn car off and start it again it makes a clap sound from dashboard,i changed the factory wheels with 18' aftermarket after two weeks front suspension started making noise,stutter problem,engine mobiliser goes on when its bit windy which christchurch weather is always like that too annoying.Car has been brought from one of the reputable dealers in christchurch but there service has been shocking it has 6 months dealership warranty.I bought this car about 3.5 months ago from this time period my car was at dealers about 4 times roughly a month ??

Any advise wat to do further ??

Forgot to tell ya they imported this car for me from japan,when car arrived here in nz it had acid rain in paint (Roof,Boot lid).Right side doors were all heavily chipped.Bonnet was heavily chipped as well,I had to fight for this to get it fixed as i picked up my car on rainy day so cudnt see any paint blemishes.When i washed my car 1st time i saw all this shit.Car had very little brake fluid,took it back to them dey started saying its white paint on my car which they cudn't see it was acid rain.

Then other thing brake pedal pulsing,after another month,All the door lights,dome light,retractable mirrors stopped working.Car was at dealers again to get this problem fixed

mate you've had a shocka :-/

I think so as well but if my car is not right this time wen i go to pick it up as per Consumer acts i am gonna get money back dats it cz i hve had enough of it already in last 3 months

Dump it, this car is a total lemon
Hopefully tomorrow I get good news from Infiniti.
I'm worried though that the firmware will not fix it and instead its a "Oil gallery gasket" ?? Is that just a oil pan rubber gasket?

Edited by awsam

There are a few Orings they could be talking about, some in between the sump and block, some between the block and cam chain cover.

Unplugging those solenoids a couple of pages back is unlikely to make a difference to the affects of a damaged O-Ring/gasket?

Edited by awsam

It will stop the units actuating. At a guess if the advance/retard mechanism is banging the end of it's travel then the Orings will be fine, it will more likely just need camshaft degree reprogramming. There is a menu dedicated to cam actuation diagnostics on the consult 3. Things like oil viscosity and oil pressure will change the requirements for cam control away from the factory settings enough to require reprogramming of the pwm signal. These engines learn to some extent but there are definitely re-learn procedures your mech can try.

Failing that, I have heard of the hydraulic solenoids getting blocked inside, there is a fine gauze filter on them. If you are having problems with the electronic actuator though, then you may need to replace the advance/retard assembly as I mentioned earlier. Quite a common fault on the VQ25's.

Thanks for the extra info, sounds like more work than anyone I've come across in Adelaide is enthusiastic enough to investigate.
I really wish I could slap a bandaid on it and just f**k it off lol.

Hopefully Infiniti have finally got an answer for me tomorrow morning.

Infiniti just got in touch, they've finally been given permission to discuss the logistics with the department handling the update in Japan.

Yea mine is booked in for tommorow at Nissan dealership as well for ECU update and Throttle reset lets see what happens next fingers crossed

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
