Maybe the high-rpm harshness of the VQ in its latest iterations caused this hah

wow, that sucks. this engine means a lot to Nissan, i mean it's everything for nissan. im sure they'll work on it. i expect an improved revved up version that burns oil soon

then how the fuck did that stupid 5.7L Hemi make it?

miktrebla09 · 01-23-2009, 09:53 AM

hyundai's 4.6L v8

very nice.

certainly, the rev up oil consumption motor blew it.

the new HR has no issues at all though, so expect to see it next year.

+1. They need to shove that 4.6 into the coupe somehow.

I'm a little surprised that all the fuel pump issues with the gasoline twin turbo-6 doesn't seem to have any impact.
