Not really a relevant comparison, higher octane fuel only has a higher resistance to detonation, if you aren't detonating on 95, then 98 will do nothing for you. I found no difference between 95 or 98 in regard to economy or performance, and I only run 98 now as I believe Japan's fuel is 96 and I prefer to er on the safe side.
-
how do you know you get better economy if you have run 98RON 'since day one'?
-
I ran 95 for a while when I first bought mine, I have since switched to 98 because it is only about 2cpl more than 95. I haven't noticed any difference in economy or performance. From memory, Japan has 96RON. E10 can be anywhere from about 91 to 96 RON depending on how long it has been sitting around.

Sort of, it was released in the Nissan Cedric at the same time as the A33 Cefiro, and the Cedric is a RWD. Also, the VQ30DE in the Australian A33 maxima got along ok, and the VQ25DD was only a few KW down and about 18Nm down on the VQ30, so it shouldn't have been too bad.. I have never driven a JDM A33 Cefiro though. Still, there probably isn't too many performance options for the VQ25DD, as most would go for the VQ35 or a stock DET engine if they want performance.

Anything is possible with enough $$$. But as Scotty said, this engine isn't going to make it easy for you. E85 is 85% ethanol fuel. Ethanol has a considerably higher octane rating than petrol, so it has a higher resistance to detonation, meaning you can run higher cylinder pressures before it self ignites. Otherwise, the VQ25DD will need a tear down and rebuild for lower compression. A VQ25DET engine would be ideal, but as mentioned, they are not commonly available. If you were after more performance, as 350GT would have been a better option, there are aftermarket supercharger/turbocharger kits available.

Depends on the state, in Qld the limit is 210kw, but also bans all V8s and most turbos, so the V35 350GT and the older 350Z are not restricted.

Spacer? or do you mean intake plenum? If you are confident all the bolts, hoses and connectors have been removed, sometimes the gaskets will 'stick' and may need a tap with a rubber mallet to break it free. If you don't have a rubber mallet, a piece of wood and a normal hammer will do. Don't get too rough and don't get tempted to use a screwdriver between the 2 sections you are trying to separate!!

Fs V35 Sedan Aero Front Bumper

Maybe the S1 doesn't but mine definitely has black mesh on the side openings. -

Sorry, I lie.. it does look a little different to the stock bumper.. but for me, it doesn't really look any better.. -
Programming A New Key For V36
sonicii replied to Zveruga's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
not sure, but I think the dealer can program the immobiliser because they have the real Consult device and the NATS keycard and they don't need the PIN to do this. I highly doubt you will be able to buy a NATS keycard as they are fairly tightly secured, and only available to dealers. if you have the PIN, you can program NATS without the keycard. Not exactly sure if this is the same for the 'intelligent keys/fob', but if Nissan go to that much trouble with keychip immobilisers then chances are the same security would be provided with the intelligent keys. -
Programming A New Key For V36
sonicii replied to Zveruga's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
Again.. this is for the central locking remote, not the immobiliser.. programming the immoboliser requires a trip to a dealer, or some sort of consult device if you have your BCM PIN -
They are nice.. if you can find a set that someone hasn't 'destroyed' by painting them black!

Looks the same as the stock bumper on my sedan (except mine is painted!)? although it looks like it is missing the mesh cover on both of the cutouts.. -

^^ that is for the central locking remote.. totally different to the immobiliser chip programming. -
Plenum Spacer For 250Gt
sonicii replied to fatboyslim27's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
Some have done dyno runs to show the benefits of the space on the 3.5L engine, so there are some gains there, not sure if that would translate into any gains on the 2.5L DD engine though. the Z tube is absolutely just for sounds though.. after all the 350Z produces the same power/torque as the 3.5L engine in the V35. -
Fs: 560Bhp 2003 Nissan V35 Skyline (350Gt)
sonicii replied to Magic's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
just a quick question.. does that engine damper really just attach to the intake plennum? or does it also attach to the head somewhere also? -
Changing Interior Lights
sonicii replied to tomstevens's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
Not sure about the other parts, but the speedo is a bit difficult as the orange colour is a film on the back of the dial backing. I have heard of people removing the needles and dial backing and sanding the orange film off, but it looks to be quite a mission. -
Fair enough.. you are probably right, justcar is being difficult. mine is insured with NRMA and they make no mention in any of their PDS about requiring an additional immobilier.
-
hmm.. I was under the impression the compliance required an 'australian standard' immobiliser to be fitted?? I could be wrong though, as they do have a factory immobliser which isn't good enough for compliance.
-
I thought the immobiliser was a compliance requirement?
