Hey Guys,

Thought I'd stop stalking the forums and introduce myself. My names Reece and I live in Townsville due to work but go to Brisbane as much as possible. I recently bought an immaculate Red 350GT Coupe 6MT Premium dropped on Cusco Coilovers. Also has Fujitsubo Exhaust so it sounds perfect and some nice 19inch black rims :). Very, VERY pleased with my purchase considering out of the 5 cars I looked at this was the only one I couldn't fault.

Anyway fella's, I'll post some pics as soon as I figure out how haha.

Cheers lads,

Reece

Hey guys

Yeah mate, she's an '03. She's got all the bells and whistles and I picked it up for a good price as well!

And yeah Seano, they're 19's mate. I forget what brand but I'll let you know when I get back to Brissie next week. And will do mate, might be doing the Brizzie-Townsville run mid January so I might stop in.

It's funny, I've got the Mod Bug already. Stage 1 - Sound System...

Cheers,

Reece

By the way, if you don't know much about these cars i highly suggest signing up to g35driver.com too, there is also a facebook page i'm apart of with 500+ members called V35 Coupe Drivers.

I know just about all the common problems with these cars so if you ever need any help feel free to put up a post or drop a PM as most of the people on this forum would be more than happy to help.

Cheers man. I'm pretty familiar with that site. The yanks go apeshit with these cars!

No worries bro, thanks a heap. I'll be doing a bit of exploring on the car when I head back so I might be scouring the forums a fair bit haha. But I'll try and contribute as much as I can.

Welcome to the club mate!

Great to see another V join us. I think we briefly met at the SCC...

Are you going to make it to the SAU Xmas Party this Saturday?

Cheers I needed to know what colour to call it , I'm thinking it needs a few bits to get perfect

Welcome to the LS Blue club! I am guessing yours is a series 2 as well with the aluminium center console trim and the bose CD/MD headunit?

There aren't very many of these colours going around. Try and source the factory lip if you can, will set it off nicely without going overboard.

Yeah+ 1 on that N15mo. I got the rear lip spoiler on mine ( I think it's Impul) sharpens the rear nicely.Not many have them. I've a only seen 1 silver and 1.charcoal grey one( looked hot)). Many have the full spoiler which I'm not a fan of.

In Sydney there's a few lakeshore blues going around now. There's at least 3 coupes in the surrounding suburbs I see now. Then again theres lots of Japanese / Chinese guys in Strathfield- so no surprise. Certainly not like 5 years ago when I was one of the first few

Howdy!

I have recently acquired a Series 1 V35 Automatic Sedan.

I have been lurking SAU reading all the tech threads about possible issues with these vehicles.

Interestingly enough I have come across a lot of disturbing timing chain and oil consumption issues for the Infinity and Nissan VQ35DD motor.

I am interested to know if the VQ25DD motor shares the exact same timing chain, guides & tensioner assembley as the VQ35DD engine, or if it is a slightly different variation (as posted in another thread i viewed)?

Taken from this thread in reference to VQ25dd vs VQ35DD:

If that's the case it isn't hard to check the tensioner, its in the left hand side black cover on the front of the engine. Make sure the tensioner is pushing on the guide in the right position.

VQ25's run a different tensioner and guide by the looks of it...

Can anyone please confirm this last comment.

I am new to Nissan, is there a good EPC that I can view online?

Cheers,

Ali.

There is no VQ35DD engine, the 3.5L engine is not direct injected, so it is a VQ35DE.

The oil consumption issues you read about are likely realted to the 'rev-up' version of the VQ35DE fitted to the 05+ Infiniti G35. This engine was never used in the skyline.

On topic of the oil consumption issues.. my car has used almost 1.5L of oil in around 7,000km/6 months. Definitely doesn't seem normal to me, but i keep getting different dipstick readings it's very annoying and it's such in a stupid location!

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
