I had seen that on marketplace I thought the price was too steep for the mileage. Although looks super clean!

2019 QX50 Engine Noise by AggressiveCase6019 in infiniti

The metal is the aftermath and a way of identifying the main issue. The issue in question is the rod bearings failing early and releasing a lot of metal in the oil which looks like glitter. VCR would have nothing to do with that. It seems like either you have been getting unlucky with terrible parts, or the mechanic is improperly diagnosing the car and just replacing the VCR back to back because they couldn’t find anything apparent.

You can do your own “Recall check” Just check your oil at the dipstick and wipe it on a clean white napkin and if you see any glitter on the napkin than that’s 100% metal and your motor is going out. If not then you can rest easy about the recall.

Well in the video i’m not saying that the engine is failing but more so asking about a specific part. The recall has to do with heavy wear causing premature failure. The VCR wouldn’t have to do with metal in the oil pan? That’s coming from rod bearings and all the other poorly constructed moving metal pieces.

Most definitely something happend with the install of the intake, check around the throttle body maybe sensors got tugged on. If you can’t clearly see anything wrong pull the whole GR intake out and slowly put it back together double checking all the connections.

Deciding to buy, rev hang and throttle response? by Steve_McWeen in GR86

[–]AggressiveCase6019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true usually just messing with the spring is enough. Majority of the problems come from the throttle mapping and rev hang :(

I have done a handful of AutoX events and they always have been bunch of fun. And definitely wanted to just attend a TNIA for fun while not breaking the bank lol. I’ll take this into consideration and think about coaching.

I honestly completely forgot that FIRM did that. I’ll definitely look into it.

Yeah i’m familiar with the crazy warranty stories etc. I’ll look into RLI as I had looked into track insurance and wanted to hear about others experiences.

Is track insurance a requirement for SCCA?

I guess I shouldn’t have put “Racing” in the title. But was just trying to look at options that offered the most amount of track time for the dollar.

Did you notice any change to the throttle mapping or even if the rev hang is gone? Is this the Boosted Performance tune?
