selliot, my hat's off to you

Thank you, it was very frustrating to say the least lol

Only other thing i can think of it high rpm transmission sudden change that is strange. I would think you would hear more noise out the back with that kind of damage. Good thing you figured it out finally it was about time. Yeah I'm not sure what caused it, I did hear a tick coming from the bell ho...

Thanks for the info. Maybe you've mentioned this but why did you go with the shorties and delete the front cats as opposed to longtubes and keeping the rear cats?

selliott

Yes, you definitely want to have a tailpipe resonator or it will sound "raspy." I have doug Thornley long tubes, b pipes and Gibson cat back, the "rasp" was awful so I pulled the b pipes and put the stock rear cats back in which helped the "rasp" it's still there but n...

Ok so help out a guy who has never seen one of these? Is this the trans flex plate we are looking at? And I assume all the missing pieces and what looks like broken areas is not a good thing? And why would this cause the motor not to run? By the way the inside of your motor looks real clean. Yes it...

Wish I found it $3000 ago lol

selliott

Neat huh lol

selliott

Finally found the source of my headaches

selliott

Yeah I couldn't find much in the aftermarket area so I thought I'd ask. I went ahead and ordered a new one from nissan.

What is the best replacement flexplate for the vq40?

selliott

Yes we checked both vtc solenoids, oil pressure etc, I'm pretty sure the timing isnt off its reading equally advanced across both banks and it varies so I'm thinking it's just the ignition timing and it doesn't run long enough to straighten out and if we pull the inspection covers and rotate it over...
