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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
