Ah, the mighty Hawkes Bay, the jewel of New Zealand, holders of the Ranfurly Shield, home of sunshine, viticulture, sparkling beaches and friendly faces.

<- Also in the Bay.

Well after all that the car already had a Ryco 436 on it from the previous owner...

How much oil do people put in their VQ35DE engines??? Googling says 4.6L which approximates what drained out. Seems odd when the smaller 2.5L V6 was very hungry for a full 5 on oil and filter changes.

Asking as its so damn hard to clearly on dipstick with clean oil.

Have a slight belt squeal on cold start up recently, hope its just from parking in dusty yard...???

I don't get out much in mine these days. :( Got a roadie to Wellington next week though so I can blow out the cobwebs a bit.

As for oil, I just change it every 3 months/5,000km and chuck in 5 litres. Saves having to try and check the useless dipstick.

    • thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price  
    • Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?
    • Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
