Nissan obviously had different engineering teams designing RBs and VGs...

yep. the same team that did the later subaru boxer...

stuff organised btw.

Morning Mangs,

The VG was considered one of the top ten engines in the world for a long time. I don't think the RB ever made the list.

Just saying...

Edit: Wait, I was wrong, that was the VQ not the VG. Please proceed with the VG engine out jokes.

From all reports it is a little beast of an engine, with the earliest VG30DET Redtop (mine) being the pick of the bunch. The heads flow better on the single turbo model, and the latter silvertop version didn't make as much power due to emmissions laws.

However, the engineering team clearly put no thought at all into making it easy (or even just not stupidly hard) to work on, unlike the RB.

It's actually not too bad on the engine out front (oil filter issues aside :P), there's plenty of room in front of the engine in the 31 spec engine bay. But having to pull the whole bloody thing apart to do anything is a PITA.

Legend, Thanks!

Ute obtained! I loves the interwebs, put a couple of messages out and BOOM! it's done.

Shame you sold the Sex-F, there would be no classier way to move house.

An excellent question, I assumed my work filter had decided to block it.

Will investigate when I get a chance.

SexF was great for moving house, moved all my sh*t including everthing in the garage, furniture, etc in a handful of trips.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
