    Finished building and installing my stroked VQ25DET today. Came out to 2.771ltr. Built myself. VQ35 crank and forged rods, remaining parts are modified VQ25DET.

    Should I start a build thread ? Any Interest ?

    Yes please! A VQ25DET build thread is just what we need! 😁

  2. Hi Patrick,

    I'm using a Pivot 3 throttle and cruise controller in my 2003 M35 VQ25DET, and it works well. I didn't care for the throttle controller function so I can't comment on how well that works, I only bought it for the cruise control function which is great.

    As for the fuel flap lock, there is a lock actuator behind the fuel flap lock mechanism that I believe prevents the flap from being opened while the car is locked, but mine if disconnected because it's broken so I can't be 100% sure. You have to give the edge a gentle push and it will pop open. Not really the answer you are looking for I guess.. hahaa!

  3. I installed some bonnet struts on my Stagea a while back. From memory I had to reverse the left and right guard bracket as the did not allow enough travel for the strut to compress when the bonnet was shut. This did make the bonnet open height a bit lower than using the original manual stay, but it doesn't bother me for simple maintenance. The provisions for the brackets are all there and only require simple drilling of the guards (it's obvious where they are meant to go) and using the original bonnet bolts. I'll put a screen capture of my ebay history of what strut kit I bought below and some pics of which way around I put the brackets so the bonnet closes correctly.

    Hope this helps mate!
