I'm rebuilding a VQ25det at the moment, it seems Nissan cant sell me any big end rod bearings... Wat?

I wonder if VQ35 ones will fit, anyone know a way to find out? I guess I will have to measure the stock rods and compare them somehow...

I didn't do anything....

But Scotty saved me by sourcing and fitting a new rad this afternoon, after mine decided it no longer wanted to keep the water on the inside... Bleeding the cooling system is a biatch...

Good to finally meet Aaron as well after all these years..

Thanks again mate!!! :cheers:

the bearing grades will be very minor differences in clearance...probably 1/10th of 20thou. If you are not buying nissan they will only have one grade. If you are buying nissan you could carefully measure everything....or just pick the middle grade and go with that

How did it go on the way home Nick? I should have sold you that spare coolant mod, it would have been quicker to fit that than bleed your engine...

Ran like a dream thanks Scott. Temp gauge sat where it is supposed to the whole way home. Also drove across all possible bumps to give it all a good shake for bubble movements..

Swapped out the battery, and as expected the little window was showing bright red... New battery has restored normal starting..

Ha good to finally meet you too mate! Glad Scott got it all sorted!

Just fitted the HKS sensors for the F-con. Nissan was nice enough to leave me a decent spot to drill and tap the IAT sensor into the pipe the BOV mounts to, and two holes blanked off that I can mount the MAP sensor to. Just need to plumb the MAP sensor in now, thinking directly to the plenum rather than try and tap another thing in where the factory sensors are.

Also dropped the oil, replaced with fresh 300V and a Greddy filter. Guess I've got one more fill with 300V, 1L left over :/

Best measure of intake pressure is in the end of the plenum. Same place Nissan put the barb for the OEM sensor.

Right I'm with you now, the tiny hose on the end. Although there's also a factory sensor in the BOV pipe too.

Went on a little cruise with the v35/36 club of WA.. theyve adopted m35's into the club as theres not many in the scene. Met my first m35 other than mine today as NickM91 came along for the cruise .. had a great time and shared lots of info.. :cheers:

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
