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.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
