New Parts Supplier?

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!!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
