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.

Nissan Quest under investigation for inaccurate fuel gauges
Fri, 16 May 2014After receiving 12 complaints in the last 14 months, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has begun a preliminary investigation into a fuel gauge issue with the 2007 Nissan Quest. Drivers have reported that the fuel level gauge will show there's gas in the tank when there actually isn't - in two cases, the digital distance-to-empty gauge indicated more than 70 miles of remaining range - and it will stall out.
This is the second time the 2007-model-year Quest has been involved in the same fuel gauge issue. In 2010 Nissan recalled seven models, including the Quest, from the 2005-2008 model years because of faulty fuel readings. The 12 vehicles in this latest complaint could have slipped through the cracks then, but we'll find out more when NHTSA updates its progress with the investigation into the estimated 37,656 units.
'Qashqai' so hard to pronounce even Nissan is poking fun at it
Mon, 14 Apr 2014In the US, there aren't a lot of vehicle names that are very difficult to pronounce. Maybe the Volkswagen Touareg might trip up a few people, but by and large, we've got it pretty easy. Our friends in Europe, though, have a bigger challenge, thanks to vehicles like the Nissan Qashqai. Yes, Qashqai.
Like the Touareg, the Qashqai draws its name from a nomadic people. While Nissan isn't making up words, then, it's still not an easy name to pronounce. Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson routinely calls it a kumquat, for example. According to Nissan, though, it's pronounced "Cash'kai".
To get its point across as the second-gen Qashqai, the close cousin of the US market Rogue, prepares to launch in Australia, Nissan set up a little event at a coffee shop. Customers would place their orders, only to have the spelling of their names butchered rather badly. On the other side of the cup, there's a message from Nissan and the Qashqai.
Cadillac ELR, Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas win Eyes on Design awards
Fri, 18 Jan 2013This year's annual Eyes on Design awards were presented at the end of press days for the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday. Given out for the best production and concept car designs that debuted at the show, and voted on by an esteemed panel of actual car designers, this year's award for best production vehicle design went to the 2014 Cadillac ELR. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, which was the show favorite among Autoblog editors, apparently did not impress the Eyes on Design judges enough with its all-new vent-festooned design.
The award for best concept design was actually split as a tie among the Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas concepts. Last year's winners were the 2013 Ford Fusion and the Lexus LF-LC concept.
The Eyes on Design organization also presented a new honor this year called the Catalyst Award to Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman of General Motors. Lutz is reported to have given a defense of design in his acceptance speech, arguing that advancements in quality across the industry as a whole have made good design a key differentiator for buyers.
