I rebuilt the motor NA and drove it for about 5k miles before turbo charging. I’ve driven it about 15k since. My goals were only for 300HP or so. Engine management has been my issue from day one. I have two Enthalpy tuned ECUs, one for my set-up with the N60 MAFS and one for a N62. It runs incredibly rich on either ECU. Not verified on a wideband, but the black smoke under hard throttle is a good indication, and I have a narrowband gauge installed. I have an Innovate LC-1 wideband gauge kit which I have not installed, it and both ECUs and MAFS come with the car.
It bogs under acceleration until it reaches operating temp, and over 4k RPM if you just floor it. Easing on the throttle and acceleration is smooth well into boost until redline. It's got to do with injector scaling and temperature correction. Like I said, I drive it practically every day, and it’s really quite civil. It’s just a b-tch when it’s cold. Can be corrected with a SAFC, but for what the NEO costs, I was planning on going NIS-TUNE.
Other issues:
Flex coupling on mid-pipe is worn through (crossing the speed bump everyday at work)
Exhaust leak (turbo to manifold gasket)
Taking the radio out
All the parts and extras I have for it will come with the car:
All ECUs (I have two socketed, one not)
The LC-1 Wideband and exhaust mount (NEW)
Hatch cover and Stock tails
Complete Timing Kit – leftover from rebuild, that kit came with one also
Fiberglass Fender Flares (NEW, never installed)
Some other misc things I can’t recall (I’ve got a box full), but all my 240 stuff goes with the car.

Next Nissan GT-R to take cues from GT-R LM Nismo Le Mans entry
Fri, 06 Jun 2014For those wondering why Nissan named its coming Le Mans Prototype the GT-R LM Nismo, colliding the two worlds of sports car and prototype racing, an article in Autocar might have the answer. The deeper union is explained by saying that the next-generation GT-R will use "hybrid technology that will closely align it" with the GT-R LM Nismo.
The point could be further driven home by the fact that the GT-R LM Nismo will begin its FIA endurance racing campaign next year, and the next GT-R is due to debut next year as a 2016 model. The expectation is that it will use a hybrid system possibly dubbed R-Hybrid and perhaps developed by Williams. Just like performance car makers Ferrari and Audi, Nissan wants its racing efforts to pay off with road car technology, company vice president Andy Palmer saying they "want to link technological linkages between future evolutions of the GT-R and evolutions of what we do in LMP1, and the two do go in both directions."
The bigger question is, with the GT-R getting hybrid assistance, will it also get the weight gain that usually comes with it? Enthusiasts would love to see the trend reversed, especially on a car that's already no lightweight.
Nissan Qashai gets the Juke R treatment
Thu, 03 Oct 2013It would appear that we're a little behind the times on this one, but a UK-based tuner of the Nissan GT-R is creating its own take on the lustworthy Juke-R starting with the Nissan Qashqai crossover. Severnvalley Motorsport claims to be the leading authority for tuning of the current GT-R in Europe. The outfit is now turning its attention to stuffing the drivetrain of a GT-R under the body of a Qashqai+2 - a seven-passenger compact crossover similar in size to our Nissan Rogue - resulting in the Qashqai-R.
The project started back in March when Severnvalley took delivery of a new Qashqai. After stripping the crossover down to its bare essentials and building a custom jig to support the body shell, it was then transferred onto an awaiting GT-R chassis. The crew aimed to keep Qashqai's appearance as stock as possible, but fender extensions and hood vents were required to accommodate the sports car underpinnings.
The white Qashqai-R seen above will be tuned to produce 900 horsepower, while a black version will get bumped up to 1,000 hp. And, looking at the build photos, we surmise that this project will take nothing less than a herculean feat of supercar determination before it's through.
2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid
Tue, 29 Oct 2013If you've been keeping up with our long-term 2013 Nissan Pathfinder coverage, you already know that, generally speaking, we dig it. After racking up 21,000 miles (and climbing!) on our dear Sweet Brown, we've become very, very familiar with the Pathfinder package as a whole, and many of us actually prefer it over competitors like the Ford Explorer and Chevrolet Traverse.
For 2014, Nissan has added a new hybrid option for its Pathfinder, using an all-new powertrain that will also be shared with the CUV's Infiniti-badged QX60 sibling. As far as fuel economy is concerned, our long-term Pathfinder has had no problem hitting its EPA-estimated numbers of 19 miles per gallon city and 25 mpg highway, but this new hybrid model is said to be good for an increase in overall economy - 25/28 mpg (city/highway) when equipped with front-wheel drive and 25/27 mpg with optional four-wheel drive.
We recently took the 2014 Pathfinder Hybrid for a quick spin around the city streets of Nashville, TN. And while our time with the non-hybrid Pathfinder has been pretty enjoyable overall, at first blush, we're having a tougher time warming up to this electrified variant.
