I thought we started answering that question in your previous thread?

I don't think anyone has modified the DD to a great extent, most guys would have gone for the 3.5 manual as a performance base. Would you like some pics of the swirl valves I believe hinder power production? I could possibly supply you with a modified runner if you wanted to give it a try, but you will need an Emanage Ultimate or similar to realize any gains.

Shame you are so far away, I could help with most of the performance mods required, even the Stagea turbo manifolds could bolt up for high compression e85 turbo fun. ;)

GM = General Motors.

LS - a series of V8 engines produced by GM ranging in capacity from 4.8L to 7.0L

T56 = 6sp manual transmission built by Borg Warner, often used on the above engines.

Anything can be done with enough $$..

Nothing much man EGR valve blocks plenums mods, can be modified but car will not like it. Vq25DD is not a performance engine it is a economy orientated engine with slight but of grunt. There maybe some things they made for the VQ25DD enhine in the stag but not much and good luck. Im doing a engine conversion on my 250GT later this year.

If you want power get a VQ35 f**k the RE4/5 auto box out and replace it with Z33 manual and replace hat gay open diff with the R200 V VLSD from a manual 350Z....then its endless mods man.

Oh btw VM35AU facebook page join it

Still a weak ass engine though.

The VQ30det is good for well over 400kw stock.

I prefer the 4 door personally, not because it looks better, but because it's unassuming. You would never get pulled up in it, unlike the coupe. There are too many down here with blacked out tail lights and bald 20 inch rims. You are ruining it for yourselves.

looks like your trying to mod the wrong engine, as most of the boys above have already said. motor in the bin, 2J in. Has that even been done before?

Been done

Google is your friend.

G35 2jz

Coupes are still very unassuming to the local constabulary compared to your usual suspects like Silvia, evos ect

Personally Don't really care about everyone else not looking to be a traffic light hero and coupe looks a lot less maxima like.

Plus any crazy conversion is retardedly hard to get legal in most states

    • That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.
    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
    • So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them
    • I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
    • Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.
