Hey guys i thought i might start one of these up so we can post any problems we are having and any fixes or places we got problems fixed.

To start i have this problem when i go through a touchless carwash, I loose throttle response about 3-5 mins after the carwash is finished. Also my brake lights start randomly flashing. This goes away by the next day. I'm assuming water has got somewhere it shouldn't. 

Nissan has ordered some part they think is responsible (wait and see)

Also my passenger window stopped. I can still open and close with the keyfob.

These both should be done on warranty but some at Nissan say they don't do Infiniti warranty and others say they do.

I rang Infiniti Aus and they say Nissan does do the warranty. 😵

 

But they are my 2 problems i have.

My local Nissan dealer cried and ran to mummy when I asked them if they can help with Infiniti parts/services.  I called infiniti about map updates and they said 'any nissan dealer can help', but my local dealer just said 'nope, we can't help with infiniti parts as we can't order them'.

I asked them if they can do a wheel alignment on a Q50 with DAS, and they freaked..

I am thinking of ordering my own Consult 3 plus clone to this sort of stuff myself.

That said, I haven't had any real problems, the intouch system took ages to boot up once, but after the next restart it was fine.

 

you might need to do the window relearn on the passenger window.  does the auto up/down work from the drivers door switch?

nah the switches don't work.

I got a call from Infiniti Aus last night, they told me they got in contact with the general manager of Nissan WA who called my local dealer and told them to fix my car and do the warranty work on it. 😁WIN!!!😁 I would have loved to been a fly on the wall for that call. My local Nissan have been real hard to deal with.

Just waiting for a call this morning with date and time to drop my car off.

I would've loved to have heard what Nissan's WA GM told the guy too. I don't understand the reluctance to work on a vehicle that has all its technical resources managed by Nissan Japan. They really don't have any excuse to not work on these things when they're officially sold through the Australian channel.

maybe silly question, but it isn't the window switch on the driver side?  my Q50 has a switch to disable all windows except the driver window.  guessing on the Q60, that would only be the passenger window.

Probably pissed that Infiniti limited their sales/support to a few select dealers in capital cities, now they want all dealers everywhere to support cars they never sold or have had any experience on.  That said, they have the 400Z on the way, so they should be keen to get familiar with the mechanics of an Q60 RS.

both sides and both switches don't work.

yeah, the driver side and passenger switches don't do anything if you have the passenger window lockout enabled, only the driver window will work.  that said, I haven't tried using the remote with the lockout enabled.

the button at the bottom -

EDIT - wait..  the drivers window doesn't work either?  in that case, yeah, something is faulty..

You would think that would be good incentive. Not only that, despite not having the experience and though this is a harder one to diagnose in finding the path the water takes, they still get paid for the warranty work they perform. Unless they're absolute dopes, they're not going to take an eternity to work on them for Nissan to put any kind of unreasonable upper limit on what they get paid.

Hmmm. Time to break out the multimeter for someone! :)

Sorry guys

The window controls on both sides that control the passenger window do not work. Drivers window works.

But now that you point out that switch i'm going to go have a second look.

Yeah, if I had a dollar every time I missed something and felt silly...  :)

Better to feel a bit silly here than in front of the dealer..

Unfortunately I doubt the throttle issue will be as simple.

      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.
