Stephen, try to get the error code and the description of the Airbag error. They should give it to you (FTG Nissan do).

When I go around to pick the car up later this afternoon I will see what information they are willing to give me.

You want to know because your mates car is still doing it?

yep.

We reset the error codes and it went away for 2 weeks then came back.

FTG stated that the error was in the "miscellaneous" directory in their consult so couldn't help as they can't read Japanese.

As per your instruction I reset mine too, but the same thing happened and it started flashing again a few weeks later.

They are struggling with the Japanese too, but seem to think it could be a loose contact or something to do with the wiring. They are going to check all the Airbag wiring and circuits etc. and hopefully find the source of the error.

Once it's cleared they will do another consult and see how everything is going, fingers crossed it doesn't take them all day to locate the issue :|

Will update once I find out what the GO is.

I saw Bis XXB at Hornsby Nissan today - front disks off.

That power duct is very tiny for a lot of money.

Please let us know if you can feel any difference in performance, and how the service went in general.

My car is now due for a 60k service, and I can walk to HN.

On the subject of the Axis 350S above, I was lucky enough to take a 350 RX for a punt around the block recently. All I have to say is... WOW!!!!!

That thing hauls ass big time. It accelerates incredibly strong right from the moment you gas it, and it revs freely all the way to redline without any feeling of hesitation or restriction. As this was a rear wheel drive only, the car also felt lighter and you could weave in and out of traffic more easily than my ARX4. Another difference I noticed was the g/b. It responds to manual gear changes a bit quicker thanmy car as well.

Overall I was mighty, Mighty impressed with the VQ35DE engine. Initially I thought it would be a slug to drive but it has certainly changed my mind that now I've got a drive of one.

imagine it in a manual!!!! :happy: I want one!!!!

Any thoughts on the lack of low down torque compared to our turbos?

The VQ35DE does need some revs to make it do its stuff compared to the VQ25DET.

That's the thiing. It wasnt lacking any torque at all and in fact, dare I say, the VQ35DE felt it pulled harder than my car. I'm going to have another spin sometime this week or next and get another good feel of the DE engine.

While we are on the subject of VQ35DE powered Stagea's.

Just thought I would post a couple of VINs in case anyone wants OE parts, or to check transmissions etc.

350RX RWD

VIN- PM35 650407

Autech 350s (nm35 Axis style body)

VIN - M35 0033AZ

MODEL - TLGARSAM35DDAT33AZ

Just curious about the low-down torque thing - comparing the VQ35DE with the VQ25DET...

I would expect the 35 to have more torque up to about 2000rpm or maybe slightly higher, then I'd expect the VQ25DET to start overtaking it quite rapidly (speaking of torque only, not on the road) and keep that lead right through to the redline.

My reasons are these. From what I've read online, all VQ engines will have 80% of their torque available from 2000rpm. This doesn't include torque from the turbo on the DET version however.

So at 2000rpm the VQ35DE would have ~288N-m available (I think they have ~360N-m max). Also at 2000rpm the VQ25DET would likely only have about 80% of the torque of a n/a VQ25DE - which I'm guessing would be somewhere around 180-200N-m.

These numbers are not exact by any means, but without the extra torque from the turbo, the 2.5L is never going to match the 3.5L.

But all the same, in normal driving around, 2000rpm is usually reached as soon as you apply pressure to the throttle, so the lines may be blurred as far as which one "feels" like it has more torque.

And this is all just purely hypothetical too. Personally I'm still more interested in the turbo version, because of its higher peak torque and the fact its turbo (there's no replacement for boost :) ).

+1

Interestingly "official" figures state that the PM35 with the VQ35DE uses more fuel (8.2km/L = 12.1L/100kms) than the turbo (8.9km/L = 11.1L/100kms) as well!

I do find it difficult to believe though.

when my turbo blew I had nowhere near the torque I had before and nowhere near the torque of a 25de that I test drove either

Yes, but I think that you are forgetting the lower compression of the VQ25DET compared to the VQ25DD

The VQ25DD is an impressive beast in itself. At just 2.5L it has more power and more torque than the (early) SR20DET. Its also got more power and torque than the current line of 2.5L n/a engines from the likes of Subaru, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Honda, and Toyota. They just need to bring out a decent hot hatch with it in. And no, the Tiida is not it. Why nissan insist on continually bringing all their crappiest models to australia and refusing to import class-leading cars like the skyline and stagea is beyond me. The Teana (maxima) is ok -very comfortable but a bit ugly IMO. They should've at least brought in the real maxima that the US is getting. Nissan would rather let toyota get all the glory with their 200 "killer wasp" aurion than fit a VQ37HR into the maxima. 245kw anyone?

Still, the fact that the stagea wasn't officially imported here makes it much cheaper for us to import, so i'm not complaining really.

Can anyone run 6U90000NM35317670 for me? No one in the fast thread can do stags.

Sure, but you don't need the '6U90000'

250t RX Four

Hard coat finish

TV/DVD option

No HICAS

Dunno what the other two are (70th anniversary???)

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
