WTF.................. :mad:

Why does this stuff keep getting listed? Just to stuff up the innocent.

I agree, it's extremely deceptive and I'm sure it will catch more people up if they don't do the research before initiating the purchase process.

Do these places want to be taken to court or what?

Give it 3 months or so and it should cover all models, not just RWD RX (which is the car going through compliance), but all AWD models as well as the 350s.

Will be sticking with my 250t though.

Nobody told me (since I wasn't there), was the 350RX brought to the meet on the weekend?

Does this mean that there is light at the end of the tunnel for Muz and the other guys with 04MY turbos? Or are they still buggered?

Still buggered unfortunately.

easy rule is

VQ25DET is ok up until Oct 2003

VQ35DE will be fine from 2004 - end of production.

I've had a 350Z with the VQ35DE motor in it. What can I say, it's a lovely engine. The thing that I'm most impressed with is the sheer torque you get as soon as you floor it and it's that initial feeling that had put a smile on my face. Sure we all know that it takes a bit more time to get a VQ25DET to sing, and when she sings, she does it loud and proud. But really, it's that precious second or two that can make the difference.

What I'm not impressed with the DE engine is how it responds to your basic mods. Pretty much you need to fork out a small fortune to really make it into a real thoroughbred. I did so much to the 350 it wasnt funny, and in the end, I gave up and decided that a forced induction car was the way to go.

With the Stag, a simple dump/front pipe change with a high flow cat has already made a big difference. I cant wait till my cat-back arrives and see how much better she goes.

    • As a general rule removing rubber fuel hose is so difficult I would replace it if it hasn't been done in the last 5 years. The risk you damage the liner or one of the inner layers is pretty high if it's not almost brand new. BMW's recommendations around coolant hoses is similar. My R33's fuel hoses at the fuel tank were so perished that they were ready to burst FYI. 
    • Ah yep, will do. Cheers!
    • Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.
    • https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au
