Hey dude i just replaced my head gasket on my vq37vhr timing is right started up smoothly.. but the check engine light is on but i have 0 Acceleration do i need rest something ? Or any ideas why? Cheers

The browning you mentioned on the connector is very evident on mine. It looks completely burnt out, so I need to change the whole control module and the connector?

Okay question! Just picked up a 370Z with 72k miles 2009’for 9000 cash off this Guy, but I wanna do a N/A build with running forged components.. I wanted to Do eagle rods an wis pistons… can you help me in the right direction.. What would be a good direction with this. I know N/A won’t be much power gains but it’s still a cheap route than boosting for now.. Figured I running forged would save a few problems in the long run internally

I’m thinking about picking up a used 37vhr and building it in my garage. This series is going to be immensely helpful, thank you!

Super helpful video. Thank you

god bless this guy

I cant find anyone selling a short block with css. Aam has their stage 1 short block but its open deck

Hi Seth, which torque you put to those bolts?

Very good stuff dude!! Quick question motor motor has been built for a year now. I had amazing oil pressure 15-17 ibs at warm up idle Now im constidemtly at 12-10 ibs after oil warm Should look into gallary gaskets already??

How to set it back one

So mine at 16/17 psi with a supercharger should be ok with a 340 pump 1000cc injectors and cjm return set up pressure wise ?

Would a autel 808 scanner be able to do this

What would you charge to build a motor like this?

I'm getting my clutch replaced and asked my mechanic to replace this rear main seal. I didn't think to give him engine oil. Does the engine oil need to be drained for this?

I see that you’re touching the L 19 head studs. I’ve heard that it could contaminate them. Is this a myth or no?

Do u need a computer to do the reprogramming on the vvel moduel ? Or do you just disconnect the sensor and raley then key on the car for 5 sec ?

You’re a 🤡

Mine is burnt up an now my car don’t start where can I find one?

Good Morning, fantastic video, I have a built VQ37VHR Turbo that is going into limp mode due to the phase not reaching required range, the motor functioned well for 4000km, and still runs perfect when not in limp mode, then started this error, it has had the block and heads cut, fitted with Wiseco pistons and Eagle H rods, after spending over $87,000 on building the car, the company that built the motor and the car has washed their hands of it (run out of tallent) Unfortunately there is no one that I have been able to find in australia that has the knowledge required to diagnose the issue, after watching this video it makes sense to me that this is what is occurring, is there any way of further diagnosing to be sure this is the issue prior to tearing the motor down? I really appreciate your input

Just got a 2010 g37x recently. It’s throwing a code for p0300 and p0011. Car is in limp mode with SES light on. No check engine, no oil pressure light. Gallery gaskets just got replaced and car is filled with 5w30. Could it be a vvel solenoid or sensor issue ? Or could it be something bigger

Does this connect to the wires that are under the driver side wheel well liner? Any info on what that harness is called? Mine have been ruined from my tires rubbing and I’m trying to replace that harness.

Zip tie is easier

I’m getting a p0014 on my 2008 g35s can seem to figure out my problem

Up until today my car has never shut off while driving. But I'm still only getting the one code u0109. Which is simply fuel pump control module not communicating so I keep coming back to this video hoping it will fix it. Every time that I go back there and manipulate the harness it seems to start if only briefly. I'm just not seeing anything significant like you found but I'm pretty sure it was my black wire and the black and green that had the browning

Heeey i have p0300 code tested alot and run a ecutek test ans hav vtc adanaced one on 63 degree and other one is 0 sensor have been replaced and everything gets power maybe vvl ecu dead or the cam phaser ?

Awesome find! I always wondered why my bank 1 valvetrain was slightly noisier than bank 2, even with the lifter bucket clearances within spec. It would be super cool to reassemble the VVEL system, take the according measurements and confirm the theory! In regard to acquiring the 5.5° VVEL (actuator to control cam) inclination, how did you go about finding that exact measurement? With Piston 1 at TDC, and both control cams locked to the left stopper, I measured 1.633” (B2) and roughly 1.585” on (B1). I’m sure every engine has slight variances; curious how you went about landing on that 1.585” measurement. My engine only has about 37k miles and seems to be in great shape. Upgrading to 2013+ springs/retainers.

Wow people have been guessing what causes that noise for years. Can this cause a catastrophic failure?

just asking how much whp can the stock 370z 6 speed manual transmission handle before you need to get a different transmission?

So, just out of curiosity, why did they even bother with a top screw at all?

Pretty interesting discovery Seth! So I guess the only purpose of ester oil is to hide that flaw lmao.

Locktite is always the answer. Lol. Super cool to see that part and the solution to the rattling noise! Thanks for sharing 😎

Hey bro I keep getting code P1092 control shaft position sensor circuit bank 2 can you please help me

I think this might be happening to me. My car's been running fine all day, ( I have a2016 2SS) I went to start it up to move it into the garage so I can clean my wheels and it started and immediately sputtered dead and wouldn't restart. I got the dreaded u0109 code and when I searched it I came upon this video. So I went to check The fuses first and when they checked out I went to the other side where this module was and just sort of check them and pushed them all back into their pins more securely and it started up ever since. I fear it will happen again until I figure out exactly what the problem is

How can you tell if your sprocket is bad?

Is there any social media I can reach you at?? I have some questions regarding vtc and oil pressure codes on my g37 which I did a full rebuild on

Appreciate the information. Same issue with my 1SS. The dealer changed the fuel pump, chassis control module , and it worked for a month. Took almost a month because of them not being able to find the control module. One month later, same issue and codes. I talked specifically to the tech that would be working on my car and mentioned this video and explained the situation. Soon after I got a call it was ready. Cost 300 bucks to fix a wire in that module. If I didn't have a great extended warranty through my credit union, the first fuel pump and CCM job would have cost me over 2k, plus the high rental car bill. Wish I saw this video first to let them know what to look for. Come to find out the dealership has a ton of complaints. They were just chasing codes to make money. Total BS. No worries. I got GM Corporate on them and got some money back for the rentals. Anyway, thanks again for the info. I linked your video on the 6th gen Camaro forums because another guy is having the same issue. If you want me to pull it down, just holler. I'll put the name of your channel as well so they don't think it was me.

So, here i am again, decided to tackle a G37. 2010. I installed 370Z heads from a good motor. MR16 headbolts, oil gallery gaskets, all seals EXCEPT, THE VTC cover seals & gaskets. ( seeing what i could get away with ) Now i have P0011-P0021 along with P0524. P0524 correlates with INT/V timing. I did a gallery gasket job on another G37 last year with VTC gaskets & seals, along with water pump etc & a VVEL module. His car ran perfect from the jump. Mine has intermittent dips at idle & shoots for limp mode after trying to bleed the coolant system too long due to ECU picking up the issue, going to fail safe mode. I am aware of Jim Wolf Technologies tech support section showing you what a slipping reluctor wheel looks like. I have ordered the gasket set from Z1 on the notion i believe oil is pissing out of my Cam Sprockets because, like i stated earlier, my buddies G37 ran perfect with gasket & seals replaced. Mine does not. Would you say this is a strong argument?

Simple & effective video, thanks

Where can I get these rotors

Quick question, the converter being held on by inspection plate you mention around 1:48 is leaking fluid on my G. Would you suggest changing inspection plate to fix? Or is something else causing the leak? It’s all in the area of that plate. TY

Thanks bro same thing happen to me it wasnt lose like yours but i just close the female gap perfectly worked

where can you find the css motors?

This happened to me too. Black wire melted even worse. Switched fuel pump and cleaned wire. Started right up

This happened to me but on the big black wire. Do you know how to take this electrical connector apart?

He Seth thanks for the video im not very knowledgeable with these infiniti motors but i have a 2014 Q50 engine had a guy that swapped it to a 2014 370z VVEL stayed on the engine assembly and it seems to have a timing issue barely starts and seems to maybe have advanced timing… are you able to chime some advice on this topic please… thanks in advance

What do you think about a light rebuild what else should I buy for forged internals for a light rebuild around 750-800whp cams, rods piston, retainers head studs anything else?

Doing a refresh on my 91k vhr soon. Future would be a boosted application. When looking at oil pump upgrades, boundry vs nismo in your opinion ? With boundry pump setups, how do you determine the number of shims to add for higher psi?

Hey Seth, you seem very knowledgeable. Whenever you have the time maybe you can point me in the right direction. I have a 08 i was getting P0021 so i replaced the cam sensor and the VVT solenoid. I cleared the code, drove it, got it up to 3k & straight back into limp mode. BUT the weird part is that the p0021 was gone & now i'm getting P0345?? I changed the crank sensor and no luck. Oil pressure is good and a fresh oil change. I've researched a lot and there's nothing definitive, but it seems to be pointing to a slipped encoder ring or it jumped time. What would be your guess? I did replace the clutch, csc, and swapped the flywheel with a Z1 midweight about 5k miles ago. I went "by the book" with the install, torque specs, loctite and all. I'm pretty sure it would've thrown the code earlier if i installed the flywheel wrong, right? ha I'll be dying to know what suggestions you have for me. I've been struggling with this for a few months now. With my wife about to pop our first kid out, I don't want to pay for a two-way-tow on a roll back for Nissan to charge me $200 for a diagnosis. These day's the extra cash is always needed for another case or two of 556.. maybe some diapers too haha. Thanks for your time & awesome video!

Where do you get all the new hardware?

hey @Seth Joyner ive been watching you for awhile now im 21 and ive learned a lot from you, i know this is completely irrelevant to this video but Im having having issues with my 370z. i recently replaced both of my vvt solenoids with brand new oem ones and the code P0011 dissapeared but now im getting the code P0021indicating my camshaft positioning timing is over advanced on bank{2} is there any feed back you could give me on possible solutions for this problem or any way i could reach out for advice?
