Hi All,

Does anyone know any parts store that stocks items for our engines? I'm thinking Bursons or someone? It is becoming increasingly frustrating not having a consistant supplier of new parts.

There are numerous second hand dealers around the place but if you want something new, it's barren!

Surely there must be someone who supports VQ engines?

If you are happy to wait, there are plenty of online stores which can supply genuine parts at decent prices.

If you want parts in 10 minutes on a Saturday afternoon.. buy a Falcon or a Commodore. There isn't enough demand for local parts suppliers to stock much for these engines.

Where are you located? I have second hand and new aftermarket cam and crank sensors here for the VQ35.

You bought the wrong car if you want to buy parts at Bursons. :P

Haha thats actually part of the reason i love this car! I feel my frustration is more to do with the fact it keeps having issues that require fixing, not that they cant be resolved by a trip to pick-a-part. Although this car is fantastic overall, the ol' R31 was certainly easier in this sense!!

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
