I brought a 2001 250gt about a month ago, didn't have as much power as i thought it would and after running a full tank through it i found it had really rubbish fuel economy, striped the plenum and swirl valves and cleaned them, cacked with buildup, and has been running like gold ever since, the change was drastic. i wounder how many people have rubbished these cars simply because no one ever maintained them properly.

Totally agree, these aren't too bad as far as direct injection engines go, there isn't much valve overlap on the VQ25dd so the carbon doesn't cake the lower runners as quickly as other engines I have had to scrape clean. It should be regular maintenance to give it a good scrub internally.

As for the swirl valves, you saw the size of the runners when you cleaned them right? I would imagine it restricts the top end badly even with the swirl valve open. The idea is to promote swirl in the chamber by blocking one of the two intake valves to help eliminate knock, it would only work at idle and cruise I imagine.

Hi Guys I have a 2001 V35 that i bought in June 2013 its now 130,000km started having acceleration issues as described the earlier case since Jan 2016 with Error codes P1110, P0202, P0204 and P0206 ; been to several mechanics that could not figure out the problem; and kept on going and some times the car would stall completely and i wait a few minutes and drive on till when it stopped completely ...Lucky enough grounded at my home!!

Unfortunately I did not know about this forum but did my research that gave me several options. I finally found the pictures on this forum that guided me to the intake valve solenoid which i found one faulty (brown one) on testing with an ohms meter.

I have however failed to get the intake valve solenoid at the local dealership does any one know closest point to Uganda where these can be accessed?

You also talk about the swirl valves can one share a pic?

The car cranks but won't start, thank you

Finally I got a source for the Solenoid valve at a cheap price!! i.e. got quotes of $1,107 from some Dealers in Japan which was quite expensive!!

for those in need of parts try this site by inserting the part number

If the car won't start, just replace the cam and crank sensors. Most likely they are the issue, not the solenoid valve. Not sure what you mean by solenoid valve.

For parts, try Amayama UAE.

Thanks Scotty,

The car was able to start about two weeks ago doing well after considering all the advise on the forum however also found out that faulty Oxygen sensors can also be a big problem for these cars, recommend to do preventive maintenance by changing them after 100K miles

Hi Kweshaz, my silence meant that I had found solutions to the car :)

it rides very smoothly after I changed the selonoid valves, and both cam shaft and crank shaft sensors.

I also did a thorough cleaning of the manifold down upto the the swirl valves using carb cleaner spray and a tooth brash

I did discover a blown O2 sensor fuse that we had all missed to detect as it was so disguised that one would think its ok, thus replaced the O2 sensor which ideally wasnt neccesary at the time but advisable to be changed at 150,000km to meet the required emission levels.

I have learnt a lot about the car and I believe one can easily fix it without a mechanic's intervention so long as you are a handy man

The beauty of it all is that you can know the fault by just using simple manouvers and checking related error codes

Follow the link below for OBD reader and codes respectively I.e no diagnostic kit required

I forgot to mention

A P1110 error code could be caused by any of the following; 

faulty Intake valve timing control solenoid valve Intake valve timing control solenoid,valve harness is open or shorted Intake,valve timing control solenoid valve may be faulty,Crankshaft position sensor (POS) may be faulty,Camshaft position sensor

An oil change including the filter and spraying WD40 into the intake valve did the trick

Hallo guys I am back again.Can anyone assist me with the role played by the 2 solenoid valves (attached)(one brown and the other green) found in front of a VQ25DD engine.

I tested the valve terminals with a multimeter and the green one has a resistance of 30 Ohms but the brown one is open.post-138154-0-21822000-1430333786_thumb.jpgpost-138154-0-85655800-1430333826_thumb.jpg

Hello,

Where did you buy these from and what are the part numbers?

You can buy these on aliexpress or ebay.

Part number you can check that picture of solenoids. Middle is right part number.

Where exactly is the Plenum valves?? I have a 2006 Nissan Skyline, and it drinks way tooooo much fuel.

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
