Hello All,

My name is Sam, I'm based in Dubai and drive a slightly modified Infiniti G37S Coupe also known as a Nissan Skyline 370GT in Japan. I am an FIA Scrutineer on the side and was lucky enough to scrutineer for the Aussie V8's when they were at the Yas Marina Circuit two weeks ago! Crazy *** drivers that's for sure :) Will post a pics later in a different thread today.

I've been lurking this forum for a while and there's a lot of valuable info on here. I am currently fed up of my VQ37VHR and it's lame auto transmission, will be swapping that out for an RB26/30 engine with an RB25 transmission. Currently putting all the parts together before my car goes in for surgery sometime next week.

A pleasure being a part of this community.

Cheers,

Sam

Sounds like an interesting conversion.

would love to see the updates as its coming along.

and find out what you yhink going from a 3.7l v6, to a 3l il6.

of course the turbo will compensate the top end, but down low will be a lot I would think.

also, welcome.

glad you have found info on our site that helps.

always good to hear positive feedback.

Yeah I love this site, did more reading on it than I did for my masters degree and figured it was time to join :)

The VQ37VHR is great engine don't get me wrong, it has a variable valve lift controller (VVEL) on the intake side too which gives it a nice flat torque curve. What I don't like about it is its high static CR (11.0:1) and it's VVEL which becomes one hell of a bottle neck at high power levels. Then comes the 5speed auto with paddle shifters, they're very laggy and behave weird when the car is driven hard.

I've been in a few RB powered machines and was sold on the spot to be honest. A friend of mine will be buying the VQ37 with its transmission off me, and in will go my RB!

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
