Hello, I'm a new member and would like to ask, I have recently purchased a 2003 Stagea VQ25DD, and am wondering whether to install a 5/16 Plenum Spacer, My questions, will this help lack of low down torque and as there doesn't seem to be any listed for VQ25 will the G35 one fit, it appears in the photo's to look the same. My problem is I am happy with the car as I couldn't get a 3ltr one when looking, I just find they don't seem to have much umphhh when pulling up a steep driveway?? Hopefully this makes sense, my wife likes the car, I just want it to be a little more exciting, but for the least amount of bucks. Cheers.

Hello, thanks for replying, could you tell me which kit you have and how much please, what size motor where you going to put it on, and if I can ask, why are you not using it??

Ok, I think people are confusing two different types of spacer.

The one Iain has, goes beneath the inlet manifold and has a row of 6 holes, right?

And the OP is looking for a 5/16ths spacer, which generally looks like this- correct?

Truth is, I don't know anyone with a VQ25DD with a manifold spacer, and don't know if they are the same plenum. Good luck OP.

Heres one for sale: linky

Agreed Scotty, but I don't see anyone making those spacers for vq35's.

The Idea of the plenum spacer (in the pic above) is that cyl 1 and 2 are starved of air in the stock position.They are pinched into the front. By raising the Plenum, it allows better breathing for the front cylinders. Thats the idea anyway. After saying all that, I don't have one, nor will I bother rolleyes.gif

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
