And I'm takin' it to the bank! :P See below...

lol but on a serious note.. do you think that is a vq30det the old one ?

because in the description he does say it did start life as a vq30de in a rx300

i would like to think he got a vq25det and used that to make a vq30det with forged internals but could be wishfull thinking.

Am I the only one who realizes this is illegal ??

Are you aware this car is in New Zealand?

I'm pretty sure they'd let you register a V8 powered skateboard, if it had seatbelts...

*Note* The above post is not intended to enrage or insult NZ'ers who have quality, well engineered cars; you guys are awesome. :D

Im sure its the VQ30det, no variable cams etc. There is a thread on it somewhere.

I have heard the VQ30det can run over 400wkw on the stock engine, as ours has the same stroke there is the possibility the same bullet proof rods are in our blocks. Thats my theory anyway.

wiki.... where i rely on all info to be correct... :)

So no, not instantly illegal, because the engine is not older than the chassis it's going into. Thems the rules AFAIK.

VQ30DET

The 3.0 L (2987 cc) VQ30DET is a turbocharged version of the VQ30DE. Bore and stroke remain the same at 93 mm and 73.3 mm respectively, and it has a compression ratio of 9.0:1. It produces 270 PS (200 kW; 270 hp) and 271 ft·lbf (367 N·m). From 1998 onwards, it produces 280 PS (210 kW; 280 hp) @6000 rpm and 285 ft·lbf (386 N·m) @3600 rpm.

It is fitted to the following vehicles:

* 1995–2004 Nissan Gloria Y33,Y34

* 1995–2004 Nissan Cedric Y33,Y34

* 1997–1999 Nissan Leopard Y33

* 2001–present Nissan Cima F50

Yes mate, we have the same rods as found in the F50 Cima's VQ30det.

As an aside, Nissan also use these same rods in the VQ30dd and VQ25dd.

wow ok interesting.. didnt know that those motors were that current.

learns something here everyday :)

I didn't think it was legal anywhere to use an engine older then the car. Sorry if i might be wrong but thats what I thought.

If that was the case, how could people put 12A (Series 1 - 1979) rotaries into newer vans, bmws, etc... As pointed out, in NZ you can pretty much get away with anything, aslong as it's certified.

Our laws are only just starting to get harsh, like exhaust noise, cat converter etc

Haha so you were confused lol :D

FYI in QLD if the motor series was produced at the same time as the car then its fine, it's not based on the year the actual motor was produced rather the year that motor type was available.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
