Did the dealer fix the brake issue?

Brake issue?

Not exactly sure what you are talking about. These cars do have crap rotors fitted on them from factory. The rotors were worn out at 50,000km and I replaced them along with new brake pads.

There was a recall for the 1.4L turbo cars. The ABS could randomly crap out or something like that. Your model might be excluded (can't remember if it was for auto only), best check with a dealer.

My brother had a blue SRi almost same as yours, his brakes failed (pedal went hard) at an intersection and smashed into a car. A couple of days later, he got a letter in the mail telling him about the recall.

Sorry to be a bummer, but would suck to buy a car then have it randomly try to murder you (or sell your car and have it try to kill the new owner).

Good cars though, very zippy on boost, does awesome mileage, cabin is insulated really well, very low road noise. Sucky automatic programming though (which this car doesn't have!). My brother's car didn't even reach 30,000km.

*edit* it's for auto only, so please disregard my posts.

Strange it says during warm up, but my brother's car was running for more than half an hour before his accident.

Cheers, didn't know about/hear about that issue. My car has had a full-service history at Holden and they never mentioned anything. Although they have done some software upgrades along the way.

Very scary issue to have especially on the brakes! Is your brother OK now?

I guess since your car is a manual, they didn't need to concern you. Yeah brother's fine, he walked away with whiplash and a sore foot.

But hey, at least we know your car won't try to kill the new owner ;).

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
