I'm unsure of whether you guys will be able to help or not as the VQ30DD Stag is not available in Aus but I need some info.

I'd like to do a service on the girl, but I can't seem to find any info on what oil grade, volume is required, if I had to guess I'd just throw 4L of the most expensive stuff I can find at it, but it would be helpful to know what the reccomendation is.

I believe that the VQ35DE uses just under 5L and the VQ25DET uses 5L.... so I would say that 5L would be good.

You could get away with 4L (I have in mine, once), but you should be safe with 5L.

*EDIT*

Just double checked the G35 manual, 4.7L when changing oil & filter.

its not diesel

the 'DD' is for direct injection. the injector injects into the cylinder instead of the intake manifold as the air is being drawn in

But the question remains - how's it go, and how's it on fuel?

1580Kg, RWD, no TC, 191Kw, 324Nm. You do the math, rapid enough to cause trouble. :D

Effectively i can barely tell the difference in thrust between the VQ25DET and VQ30DD probably because the VQ25DET stags are carrying 100Kg extra in 4WD gear.

Fuel consumption 11 - 12 L/100Km town. 8-10 L/100Km open road.

Awesome!

That would be very helpful.

On another note, I unbolted the back box last week (2 bolt flange next to the diff) and oh man do these NA VQ 's sound sexy with no back box!

I took it to the fabricators to get measured for a straight pipe to stock tips to replace the back box and they said it sounded almost identical to the Gallardo that they had in the shop a few days previous.

I drove it for a few days like that, not overly loud TBH, does need a small silencer though to stop droning.

sorry dude, the book i got wasnt what i thought it was for $13 its not all that bad tho!!

turns out its a chassis assembly and alignment book for an M35. not much mechanical stuff in there sorry! but a panel beater might find it helpful........

also have the genuine nissan wiring diagram workshop manual for M35 :P has all the schematics for the entire car inc satnav, tv blah blah. ill check again to see if its got the ECU schematic that may assist with SAS and remapping.

Yuh and theres a whole heap of VQ's on the roads running factory oil and blowing it all out the exaust before the next service.

yup they use oil! If you don't get the viscosity just right, it's a bit of a design fault in a perfect engine.

I think most goes out the breather, especially in the turbo. You should have seen the amount of oil in the cooler piping after a month. I have fitted a catch can so I will know how much next oil change. Also theres the leak into the plugs problem common with VQ.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
