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.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...
