It was literally a 20 minute job :( It's been driving me bezerk!

I'm happy to not have you not pay me to not do it? Not? :D

If you want some tape I can probably hook you up. Either that or Con-Tact adhesive backed felt is good for this too.

only kidding mate. my car doesnt have many rattles.

if i hear anything i shouldnt, i just turn up the radio :D

From what im told they cant be repaired as it is one of the copper coils that blows out (thats what happened to mine anyway) you will probably need to source a s/h one from a wreckers. I know they are the same as a VQ25, possibly VQ30. 3.5 has a different part number but may fit...

I have one here in need of repair if they happen to find the parts to fix yours...

3/4 of the way through fitting up my new motor with all my other bit's....hopefully tomorrow the motor and gearbox back in!

Nice intake mate... :D

You managed to keep the heat shield too. I bet its easier to work on the turbo out of the car...

sobering - i thought it mightve been an oil lubricated one and thats why it cooked.

sourcing one from wreckers isnt going to be easy around these parts , maybe down there, looks like my car is going to be bricking the driveway for weeks to come if thats the case.

what else other than an m35 has a vq25 though ?

thanks for the solid advice Scott

What bit can't be repaired? You have rewinders surely?

howd u do the diff ?

I got a bit carried away in the grass events at the local car show. I think I dumped the clutch too hard in reverse gear... :P

Gunna get it fixed in the new year. New diff, uni joint for the drive shafts, get the rear diff checked out, brass button clutch is a little noisy so that will get a look too.

I am keen to have an A1 drivetrain. Does anyone know if these cars will handle 8000RPM launches? :P

The J32 Maxima (2009) has a VQ25de I believe. Wouldn't think the starter would be any different to what we have.

I cleaned my Stagea last night! Filled it up with fuel. (full tank - $100 later FFS!)

Going to clean the interior and do a bit of a service soon!

She goes alright. Not as quick as a Turbo Datsun 1600 though :P But a hell of a lot quieter. :P

+1, VQ25dd, but as we know, its FWD... so may fit, maybe not?

Do they have a relay or something that could be kaput?
