Any Direct Injected 300gt / 250gt V35's?


Recommended Posts

Like I say all six coil packs are brand new. The misfire was happening before I change all coil packs and now when I get all brand new coil packs. The misfire continues to happen. After upon inspecting all six spark plug. There is one foul dry plug. Meaning that cylinder is what causing the car to run on 5 cylinders I change the foul spark plug an it happen again. That dry foul plug smell like fuel

So why isn't it the wiring to the coil?

It's very hard to explain something to people that don't want to listen Ben, but good on you for giving it a go. :P

We have only wasted more of his money, somehow due to his mechanics incompetence.

Hey everybody I am new to this website. I need help on my vq25dd. I was trying to take out the injector but rite now all the the injector is in the engine block hard to remove an I have already remove the fuel rail an everything else. Only the injector hard to come out. Can some please give me some assitance. Thanks

How dumb can this guy be, obviously spector121 pretending to be cookie180. Same car, same problem, same style of writing. Probably deaf in both ears also.

A lost cause.......

man, what a tedious job! and kinda scary to pull down a perfectly running motor past a point where i was worried i would cause a bigger issue...

i couldnt get a final result as good as others. left the bits soaking in unleaded petrol for hours, then scrubbed, then high pressure cleaned. all the intake parts seem to have been stained, but the worst is gone. even the secondary intake butterflies were caked badly in at least a couple millimetres of crap.

guessing it would only have looked perfect if i let them soak for 24 hours or more.... or had them acid dipped. didnt have enough time left to do that.

egr valve now blanked off, manifold coolant heating pipes bypassed, no ecu faults have come up.

plenum spacer installed

all learn procedures worked first time. had a big cough and misfire when it first started which scared the sh*t out of me, but the procedures sorted that out

car now accelerates with 3 people in it at the same rate as it did with just me. fuel consumption to be monitored. no change in sound as far as i can tell.

just need an oil catch can to stop crank case oil blow back to cylinder 1 and 2

thanks to all for tips and pics which were a big help

Did you use the resistor method for blanking off your EGR? I had a Kinetix V+ plenum (that i'm now returning because when I ordered it I was unaware of the EGR valve built into the factory plenum), now I have the Motordyne 5/16" spacer coming and plan on blocking the EGR when installing the spacer. I cleaned the factory plenum (upper and lower) but still need to do the intake runners. How did you go about cleaning the butterfly valves? Scrapping and vacuum, or throttle/brake cleaner? I've also Seafoam'd the crankcase and fuel-system and have noticed significant performance increase but am looking forward to finishing this beast of a project and Seafoaming through vacuum lines to complete upper engine restore.

Hi guys.

I know this is an old thread an not even sure if any of you are still around, however i wanted to thank you all for your input and comments, i brought a 2001 250gt with 130k on the clock and was surprised/ disappointed at the lack of performance and terrible fuel economy i was getting from it, i did some searching and came across this golden thread, i decided to tackle this project myself and started the tear down, scared myself shitless when i started it up the first time as i had left a vacuum hose off!, put it all back together and she is purring like new.

thanks again guys (and girls if any?!) you have all saves me much pissing around and money.

after a week i went back in and stripped the plenum again to see if any further buildup/ oil had collected (i like making my life hard) there was more oil in the bottom chamber and i decided i hadnt done it well enough the first time so decided to polish it all up and put in some iridiums while i was at it, got a great finish this time.

Hi guys I'm a newbie here . I bought a 300gt a few months ago and it was a bit sluggish so decided to clean the intake manifold up . Have done this and all back together now but the car won't start . It turns over and has compression and fuel and spark but just doesn't want to start. Has anyone else had this problem?please need help .....

Check the vacuum hose running from the swirl valve solenoid (in front of the plenum) to the swirl valves (under the lower plenum), mine had a kink in it when i first put it back together and i had the same issues, reconnected it and sorted out the kink and it fired away as if nothing had happened.

Did you unplug the loom? A few pages before mentioned about the ecu forgetting where the throttle is or something to that effect.

Glad I found this post too, gives me one more thing to do on the new car. Might stop throwing codes and pulling timing

    • Oh, yeah, no arguing that the duty cycle is different. And a circuit car will go to those speeds for more distance and longer times. But, I suspect that if a tailshaft has a harmonic problem, that it would cause damage and shit itself maybe even on the first pass. A second or two of running at the resonant/harmonic problem speed is already a couple hundred revolutions.
    • Shaft speed would be the same, however it's how long they hold it there for and repeated conditions. FWIW half way down the main straight at SMSP I'm bouncing off 4th with a 8600RPM limiter. That shaft would be spinning at 8600RPM for a few seconds before I need to smash the brakes, by T2 it's getting close to that speed again. Now a drag car/roll race car would see that shaft speed for a 1 to 2 secs then they would coast, hit the brakes and that's it.
    • With same diff ratio, tyre diameter and road speed, the tailshaft rpm is the same regardless of the gearbag's ratio. Given that very quick drag cars are probably doing similar road speeds to the fastest circuit cars (circa 300 km/h), and there will be many of either category that can't go that fast and so you'd have inummerable matchups between drag and circuit car speeds at smaller numbers, and given that they are probably using rather similar tyre diameters and probably using similar diff ratios, and...where any of those numbers were different they could quite easily be in opposite directions thus cancelling out.... I think you'd find that there'd be more similarity than difference in tailshaft speed between these two use cases, no?
    • they might see those prop shaft speeds for 1 to 2 secs only 
    • A year of slogging through this bearing issue and finally fixed. What a nightmare. The oil pressure increase did not fix the problem. If you would like to read all the details in case you ever run into a similar issue visit my thread on Yellow Bullet. https://www.yellowbullet.com/threads/continuous-rod-bearing-issues.2689569/?post_id=74193031&nested_view=1&sortby=oldest#post-74193031 In the end the rod bearings themselves were the issue. I had switched from ACL (first engine) to King because that was all we could get at the time and I thought nothing of it. Put the ACL's back in after a year of taking the pan off multiple times to change many things. Issue resolved. Can't believe it was just the bearings themselves all along. It has now been about two years since I drove the car on the street or had it at the track. At some point I had installed all solid and spherical bushings in the rear but had never aligned it since it just went on and off the dyno. Alignment was the first thing to do. (Old photo but same concept) Then I took the transmission out and went through it. This was my first gearset install and I've done about 15 since this one and learned a lot and wanted to apply some of these tweaks to mine. The aftermarket shift forks take very well to some modification and I wanted to make that change. Shifts are now super smooth and no having to find the gear. I also recut the 5th and reverse shift sleeves - always wanted to try this and see how well it works. It works very well! No grinds or having to do a second attempt going into reverse and 5th is perfect. Before During After Going back in In rummaging through my spare trans parts box I found the only parts I've ever broke on a stock trans; the 3-4 shift fork - twice!
