Excellent idea and has been mentioned before. It's being considered for the stats sheet input as ZeeForce mentioned awhile back.

Perhaps I could own that with ZeeForces approval in helping him. I'll respectfully ask for his approval. (yes that was flamage and that member knows who they are )
That's what this thread is all about, glad you see that fact.

Ignore list.....BRILLIANT!! lol. Forgot about that feature. Know a couple I'm doing now

 

Rev-Up retard timing from the factory....this was a major issue when boosted with turbo or SC..I am sure with a few bolts ons...its causes issues also. Especially since this oil or lack there of happens when downshifting.

So if you are at 6,000 rpm and downshifting with a retarded (lol) timing and no oil...BOMB just like my stock block did! Thread called NA go BOMB....almost a year ago.

great insight...keep it coming.

 

This is the first I've ever heard of the Revup reatrding timing over the 287hp. Please explain where you heard this..

Wow.. Great idea.. I wonder if anyone already tried that.

 

me to, so unless we see some log's I'm going to call BS. Also, his theory would apply to advanced timing.

 

edit delayed screen double post....


its a fact....the rev ups suck at high rpm point blank....My boy had detonation with his greddy TTs and they thought it was bad gas...after reviewing "the logs" as you mention..there it was. I will not get into who found it and why (because this thread would shut down after the comments) but its true..the stock ecu retards at higher RPM I want to say after 6K but cant remember exactly. I am writing two papers for school but I will get some more info for you all.

Its seems as if you have access to a dyno faster than I...check it out. I will ask a few shops for some tune date to back up my claims....

They advanced the timing to squeeze out the measly ponies....everyone knows the VQ's run lean as shizzil uptop..hence the retarding....give me until tomorrow. Good luck all...keep it coming. I fortunately got a hand built motor that doesnt burn oil. They didnt offer any buy back for my G, warantee, or cash. I would of thrown some pistons and rods in myself and went SC... or Single Snail. Good luck

 

Dont know this guy but timing kicked his butt tuning a Utec....his car knowledge is over my head.

KRRZ350, welcome and excellent information, we need more like you with a vast knowledge in the workings of the VQ’s. We should take up a contribution and have it transferred to your pay pal account.

06CPV35, we both know all too much the cause and hopefully soon we can release some info that we have been collaborating on for months. All I can hint to without disclosing any info that I shouldn’t be, is the oil consumption has to do with fuels dilute, piston deposits, shearing of oil, and blow-by, among other factors.

John, by all means go for it. I am busy just keeping up with the Stats List; I need some help and wanted to add this to the Stats List, but the time it was going to involve, plus I am still working on some other documentation regarding the V1/V2 ….John if you could drive it, that would be great. I will be available for any suggestions or what, that you may want to bounce off me. Again thanks John, and go for it. Just a thought….maybe incorporate it into the existing Stats List or just start a new spreadsheet, it’s your call.


Brilliant!! …I have added XXxxx to my ignore list.

thekinn, welcome to the OC thread. It’s not where we would like to be, although we make the best of it, with some great contributors here.

One in particular I would like to give reconition to is 06CPV35 (John) who has a lot of knowledge, and has made a major contribution on this thread and over on Driver for the G’s. He devotes a lot of time between the two threads and it is very much appreciated.

Cheers
-Curtis

edited last sentence from "props" to reconition.

 

wow havent looked in here in a while....ill be getting and oil change this week, the oil level is within the tsb spec (So according to that no oc), and i will be changing to a synthetic, probably motul or mobil1 again.

 

^^ Hey..hey..don't forget to shoot me a pm with your Stats.
I have some catching up to do and need to send out pm's to about 12 or so new installee'.

 

m1 0w-40

 

ill do so after the oil change. hopefully it wont start ocing again with a synthetic, and just to compare it to the v1 ill actually just use mobil1 synth.


nexx is that m1 stand for mobil1? also why 0w-40?

edit: jk i remember a thread on that...no im gonna use 5w-30 just to see how it compares to the v1, also im not giving nissan any sympathy.

 

The build and metallurgy on theses engines can handle synth right away. So I have been told by a reputable non disclosed source. I have also been advised by the same source that Pennzoil Platuinum 5w-30 is very good, which I will switch to on my next oil change. Currently running Castrol GTX 5w-30 on my second oil change interval at with about 5k on engine. This will put me at 8k when I switch to synth.

 

Why are all yours and 06CPV35's sources reputable yet "un disclosed". If their reputable what's the issue with disclosing the source?

 

Thanks for your approval, green light for creating those stats and recognition.
Yes, either separate or combined with your sheet, though it may get crowded even if yours changed to 'landscape' format.

I'll draft up a format and guidelines/questions for members to follow on break-in methods with their V1/V2 replacements in the next couple few weeks.
Run it by you and then post when finalized.

Have many of life's curve ***** on my plate presently, but as said before, I'll own this so be patient everyone.
Maybe we'll see a pattern hopefully and help in determining another possible factor between success/failures on the V1/V2's, which has had me tearing out my hair for years.

 

Far as the timing advance/retarding discussion, I have a friends Cipher logs on his 05 G35 revup while doing his uprev tune. In my free time (haha) I'll ask him if it's okay to post those up. Can't remember details on his tune, but remember after his AFR got in check, his timing was a factor and had to be tweaked as well.

 

That sounds awesome. I'm looking forward to the results. Imagine if all the v2 failures could be attributed to some kind of break-in style. Wouldn't that be special.

Also, does anyone know what the g35 tsb recommends for a break-in method?

 

For the record. I started PM'ing people trying to get stats on break in for this reason.


06CPV35 basically to put it kindly, told me to go fu*k myself. You told me Zeeforce already had this information (which he doesn't).

You and Zeeforce are both glory hounds in this thread. People appreciate the effort, but neither of you listen to anyone else. You don't know it all. In fact you know as much as all of us on this topic. NOTHING

 

Still waiting for an answer!!!

 

I'm new here and have a V2 that is consuming. I've been reading these stories for some time about what causes it. I never went over 5000 rpm on my V2 so I don't buy the therory that its our driving. Some are blind and won't listen to others - bla bla bla - like they know something but Nissan doesn't know. Call it like it is - this is a lemon the V1 and V2. I'm getting my money back.

 

I'll quote off the G35 TSB what they state to tell customers.....

First page of TSB:

CAUTION: If the engine is replaced as part of this bulletin, please advise the customer to follow the Owner's Manual "Engine Break-in Schedule" for the first 1,200 miles including:

I found it interesting that the 350Z TSB released on Nov 27, 20007 doesn't state the above, while Infiniti's TSB released Jan 10, 2008 does.

There are other break-in methods not oem guidelines, this is what I hope to get to the bottom of as far as success/failures with these revups.
