Stephen, try to get the error code and the description of the Airbag error. They should give it to you (FTG Nissan do).

When I go around to pick the car up later this afternoon I will see what information they are willing to give me.

You want to know because your mates car is still doing it?

yep.

We reset the error codes and it went away for 2 weeks then came back.

FTG stated that the error was in the "miscellaneous" directory in their consult so couldn't help as they can't read Japanese.

As per your instruction I reset mine too, but the same thing happened and it started flashing again a few weeks later.

They are struggling with the Japanese too, but seem to think it could be a loose contact or something to do with the wiring. They are going to check all the Airbag wiring and circuits etc. and hopefully find the source of the error.

Once it's cleared they will do another consult and see how everything is going, fingers crossed it doesn't take them all day to locate the issue :|

Will update once I find out what the GO is.

I saw Bis XXB at Hornsby Nissan today - front disks off.

That power duct is very tiny for a lot of money.

Please let us know if you can feel any difference in performance, and how the service went in general.

My car is now due for a 60k service, and I can walk to HN.

On the subject of the Axis 350S above, I was lucky enough to take a 350 RX for a punt around the block recently. All I have to say is... WOW!!!!!

That thing hauls ass big time. It accelerates incredibly strong right from the moment you gas it, and it revs freely all the way to redline without any feeling of hesitation or restriction. As this was a rear wheel drive only, the car also felt lighter and you could weave in and out of traffic more easily than my ARX4. Another difference I noticed was the g/b. It responds to manual gear changes a bit quicker thanmy car as well.

Overall I was mighty, Mighty impressed with the VQ35DE engine. Initially I thought it would be a slug to drive but it has certainly changed my mind that now I've got a drive of one.

imagine it in a manual!!!! :happy: I want one!!!!

Any thoughts on the lack of low down torque compared to our turbos?

The VQ35DE does need some revs to make it do its stuff compared to the VQ25DET.

That's the thiing. It wasnt lacking any torque at all and in fact, dare I say, the VQ35DE felt it pulled harder than my car. I'm going to have another spin sometime this week or next and get another good feel of the DE engine.

While we are on the subject of VQ35DE powered Stagea's.

Just thought I would post a couple of VINs in case anyone wants OE parts, or to check transmissions etc.

350RX RWD

VIN- PM35 650407

Autech 350s (nm35 Axis style body)

VIN - M35 0033AZ

MODEL - TLGARSAM35DDAT33AZ

Just curious about the low-down torque thing - comparing the VQ35DE with the VQ25DET...

I would expect the 35 to have more torque up to about 2000rpm or maybe slightly higher, then I'd expect the VQ25DET to start overtaking it quite rapidly (speaking of torque only, not on the road) and keep that lead right through to the redline.

My reasons are these. From what I've read online, all VQ engines will have 80% of their torque available from 2000rpm. This doesn't include torque from the turbo on the DET version however.

So at 2000rpm the VQ35DE would have ~288N-m available (I think they have ~360N-m max). Also at 2000rpm the VQ25DET would likely only have about 80% of the torque of a n/a VQ25DE - which I'm guessing would be somewhere around 180-200N-m.

These numbers are not exact by any means, but without the extra torque from the turbo, the 2.5L is never going to match the 3.5L.

But all the same, in normal driving around, 2000rpm is usually reached as soon as you apply pressure to the throttle, so the lines may be blurred as far as which one "feels" like it has more torque.

And this is all just purely hypothetical too. Personally I'm still more interested in the turbo version, because of its higher peak torque and the fact its turbo (there's no replacement for boost :) ).

+1

Interestingly "official" figures state that the PM35 with the VQ35DE uses more fuel (8.2km/L = 12.1L/100kms) than the turbo (8.9km/L = 11.1L/100kms) as well!

I do find it difficult to believe though.

when my turbo blew I had nowhere near the torque I had before and nowhere near the torque of a 25de that I test drove either

Yes, but I think that you are forgetting the lower compression of the VQ25DET compared to the VQ25DD

The VQ25DD is an impressive beast in itself. At just 2.5L it has more power and more torque than the (early) SR20DET. Its also got more power and torque than the current line of 2.5L n/a engines from the likes of Subaru, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Honda, and Toyota. They just need to bring out a decent hot hatch with it in. And no, the Tiida is not it. Why nissan insist on continually bringing all their crappiest models to australia and refusing to import class-leading cars like the skyline and stagea is beyond me. The Teana (maxima) is ok -very comfortable but a bit ugly IMO. They should've at least brought in the real maxima that the US is getting. Nissan would rather let toyota get all the glory with their 200 "killer wasp" aurion than fit a VQ37HR into the maxima. 245kw anyone?

Still, the fact that the stagea wasn't officially imported here makes it much cheaper for us to import, so i'm not complaining really.

Can anyone run 6U90000NM35317670 for me? No one in the fast thread can do stags.

Sure, but you don't need the '6U90000'

250t RX Four

Hard coat finish

TV/DVD option

No HICAS

Dunno what the other two are (70th anniversary???)

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
