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.

    • Yes. Get rid of that battery. It is dead. It will cause problems.
    • Don't assume too much when there is a voltage issue....if the battery is flat and the alternator not charging it is easy for the voltage to drop way low at the ECU due to the draw of stuff like coils, fuel pump etc Whatever you see at the battery with the motor off, it should be at least 13.8 with it running
    • I have been wondering if this is as simple as a voltage issue with the battery. Even on a charger, I can’t seem to get it over 11.8V on the terminals.    Unless the alternator has failed as well, that wouldn’t cause it to die in the middle of driving though. 
    • I’ll give this a shot next time I’m able to wrench on it.    I was able to get my hands on a Haltech Nexus, so that should help with some of the more bizarre troubleshooting. Make sure the CAS is actually sending signal and will be able to set the proper dwell on the R35 coils.    I’ve checked power/grounds/signals at the CAS, ignitor, and plugs and it was all there. Granted this was static with ignition on, not cranking.    I also plan on swapping out the fuel filter and throwing on a fuel pressure gauge at the rail just to confirm I’m getting the correct pressure at the rail. 43psi if I recall correctly. 
    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
