Tearing Apart my Blown Up VQ35 while Answering Your Questions!
A few days ago I posted for you all to ask questions now that we're at the end of the season, and in this video I answer them while tearing down my 350z engine I put a hole in! This is a little different style video than what I normally do, but this was really fun and you all had some really good questions!
Let me know what you thought of the video, maybe we should do more Q&A's in the future?

Not how I wanted to end Drift Roulette, but on the bright side this VQ35 has seen 40 drift events, 130k miles, and a lot of nitrous! I don't blame it for giving up after such a hard life! Now that I know we have a good drivetrain again, it's time for one last competition, Hot Pit Autofest, and then it's coming out for a different project! Thank you for watching!

Under glow lights takes a light of water against them. With these strips, you can use something like crystal clear Gorilla tape.
Can you make a video for the other side to see how you did that with the gas flap and how would you try to get rid of the gap between the 15mm the over fender sticks out and the rear bumper so that the arch looks as clean as possible.
I cut everything out and the gas caps just floats there lol and my rear bumper is also held on with 2 push pins and 2 zipties, the entire rear of the cars cut out so stuff lines up where I mount it. Wouldn’t work on a factory car. The method I showed is 100% “racecar style” and I wouldn’t recommend it on a street car lol
Loved the video tony. Thanks for sharing dude!!!!
Of course, thank you!
For anyone confused, OFFSET rack spacers are what kill racks. Straight line tie rod spacers are OK and I recommend them. Lol apologies if that got mixed up in the way I worded it
Hey I’m been wanting to hardwire my fans for a while now, how did you wire it up so that they kick on high with the switch? Very good info in this vid btw
Easy, just look up factory wiring for the fans and it’ll give you which wire controls power to HIGH and which wire is ground. Put in your relay and switch and you’re set 👍🏼
THIS WAS AWESOME! Thanks for answering! Your experience makes me nervous because my car is a manual swap. I would like to run the Eccutek from z1 but not sure if I’ll run into issues may just need to find a local tuner. About the alignment, what do you usually run for rear toe in? Does it make big changes between none and positive toe in.
As long as you have some way to code out the trans faults that pop up on an auto ECU you should be good. Rear toe in depends on track, wheel speed, tire compound, and what I want the car to do. But generally I’ll run anywhere from 0 to 3/8th” anything more that that the z doesn’t have the power to really use in my opinion lol
How you find any problem with yours I own one two I just want to run smooth
No problems always smooth
vhr swap would be cool for 350z and g35. i like the way most vq's sound.. not straight piped tho
Yea that would be cool!
180 sx bro or a miata
Good choice
Also got another question about the fans. how difficult is it to wire them up to a switch?
Easy! I am thinking about making a video on it. I took a cap off a relay and soldered a wire to it to power the relay and not make any unneeded splices in the harness.
Yep ^^ what he said lol. Pretty easy! I spliced into my harness but either way lol!
Loved this style of vid. i got more questions now. So when you ran the bolt on angle kit from gktech, the one thats around 200. I think that kit comes with the rack spacers. did you run it without them ? since thats what destroys the rack. i actually just bought the kit but have not installed it yet. thanks 🙏🙏🙏
Rack spacers are good!! OFFSET rack spacers are bad. Sorry if that didn’t come across in the video. I run the straight line spacers on both sides.
Haha glad i watched this cus alex was telling me to get tie rod spacers 💀😭
Normal ones are good!! Offset ones are bad
Love me some TonyToonz
You were the star of this episode lol
@@tonycrispin WOW, I feel like a star, just finished it
Nitrous?
Yessir, 75 shot on a tuned DE with bolt on's. Full build on the channel!
Loved watching you progress this year! Excited to see what you do with the car in the off season
Thank you!!
tony and alex should consider switching cars for one event each
I don’t wanna drive a car with every inch of the frame rail bent 😂😂
🔥🔥🔥
🙌🏼
Lets go looking forward to see what u do next year
Hyped!!
no way Alex hit the wall on the first run
He did one “sight lap” before that and set his “sights” on the wall I guess lol
@@tonycrispin Unnecessary
Ur gonna be a good grandpa 6:18
👴🏼
next step vr38 hahahaha
Man, if I had the budget for that, I would 100% do it!!
Dan is the VQ killer, if its not his, it's the persons he's battling.
😂😂😂
Should’ve add headers might as well you took the engine out
Didn’t have it in the time or money budget! And the motors coming right back out 😂
True, not gonna lie though that’s pretty impressive engine lasted this long crazy how reliable these vq35de are! Major respect keep up the awesome work
So no oil cooler and no extra capacity pan? That would be about 2 extra quarts of oil. Might have lived till the end of the event 🤷😆
Always over fill 1qt, it lasted 3 years of straight abuse. You’re right though those both would have helped!
@ would you be against doing a cheap thermostatic plate and cooler setup? For the people ?… ok me 😆 lol
@@Vgk36 I’ll look into it!
inspiring bro
Thanks bro!!
Honestly I was expecting the engine to blow up a lot faster....like a whole year ago already lol because you were hanging around a lot at redline and beating on the car for the events required needs
40+ drifts events over 3 years and one of those years the car was on nitrous. VQ is a tank! Lol frequent oil changes and not letting it get too hot is the key to a long life 👍🏼
I also wonder if you would have changed rod bearings and new rod bolts after the 2nd season would it have lived?.?.? Would it have been worth it ?.? We are lucky we still have a supply of these engines no lie
@ yea no way I’d bother rebuilding a VQ when you can just get another one for so cheap lol!!
💯💯💯
🙌🏼
dude thats impressive, stoked you made it out to hotpit!
Thanks dude! Couldn’t miss the last round!
I think Nissan did it to deal with emissions. It's not really an oil cooler and you're right Tony, it's a preheater. A real oil cooler will make a good difference even in a non-track car.
Yea emissions stuff, don’t need it on a racecar!
I feel your pain. Windows are never good. Kudos for powering through!
Yea windows shouldn’t be on engines 😂 thanks though!!
The little VQ that could, could no longer... UNTIL ya put another little that VQ that could!
That’s right! Long live the VQ! 😂
That’s how you do it!
🙌🏼
Active under motor ventilation and a piston delete. Pretty extreme upgrade. 😂 Sorry buddy. Glad you got ahold of a new motor.
😂😂 all part of it!

Thank you! 🙏🏼
3 things: Love the voiceover. The guy in the gold 350z is really good! The drone operator is the best I've ever seen gd. Makes watching this so enjoyable. Thanks!
Thank you!! Appreciate that 🙏🏼 Ray kills it on the drone! His @ is in the description if you wanna see more of that 🔥🔥
Stock motor ?
Yep! Stock motor with a few bolts on. After this video I got the car tuned and changed the nitrous jets to a 75 shot. It’s lasted me all season! Check the rest of my channel to see more
Logan is a maniac! Carson's shortcut was awesome!
Seriously!!
Another fantastic video Tony! great editing and voiceover! it has been so amazing to be apart of drift roulette
Thank you for all your hard work and amazing coverage! Can’t wait for next season!
such a great day! fun battles and vines 🎉🎉
vibes*
Glad you finally made it out to one!! Hope to see you more next season 😎
Such a blast! Can’t wait for next year!!
stoked you were able to make it out! Thanks for the support all year!!
@ of course!!
Dang!!! I'd love to come take part next year. Guess I'll make it a personal goal of mine.
Hope to see you there!!
such a fun time out there definitely coming back🔥
You killed it dude! We hope to see you next year for sure 🔥🔥
Banger Thumbnail Thank You 🙏 So thankful to be apart of these events & surrounded by such awesome people ! Thank you Drift Roulette ! 🤘🏻
Thank you!!!
First comment!
‼️‼️
Can this fit the vq35de in the 8th gen maxima?
I can’t confirm that, but I also don’t see why not! Lol
Have you got the part# kind sir?
Yea my bad I forgot to put it in the comments. Here it is!
15213- 31U00
May we have the part #? Also what do you do with the lines? Just reroute or block it off?
I capped them off. Deleting excess coolant lines is another plus of this mod! Here’s the # 15213- 31U00
What if it's not a track car
You can still do this mod and add an oil cooler if you’d like 👍🏼
*oil cooler
Delete it and run a real oil cooler while deleting lots of problematic coolant lines lol
