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.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

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

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
