It is BC coilovers but from a V35 - My sister is selling her v35 and I am buying her Coilovers - so please confirm why will not fit or wil it fit since they are BC brs

Fronts definitely will not fit.

V35 is RWD so the fronts have forks, M35 is AWD and do not have the fork.

Iron Chef can't do PM35's.

Northshore is the one to call... although they have also offered to do compliance for J-Spec and possibly Prestige.

How does that work? Seems surprising that one importer can use a compliance shop but not another.

Northshore are an importer, not just a compliance shop. And AFAIK they paid a tonne of cash to be able to comply PM35s, so they're pretty much keeping it to themselves.

But Iron Chef would know whats going on in the industry.

Seeing Jase didn't bother to correct my response via Twitter :P, I was referring to manual PM35s, which, to the best of my knowledge, no-one in Australia has.

I'm sure if I were to buy an auto PM35, the guys at Northshore Prestige would be able to comply it for my customers, same as they can for any of the other brokers.

Yeah that's what I thought. It's all good, just think there's some confusion going on here. Convince Matt to get one and drift the shit out of it.

I thought that's why they HAD to only use the N/A models in the latter years? Didn't they change the emissions laws around 2004?

Still, if I was him I'd be buying a VQ30DD and doing an engine swap between the two cars and then trying to get that one converted. Otherwise he never got import approval and just chucked it on a boat assuming he could?

+1. As I understand it, emission laws changed between 2003/2004, thus 03 NM35s pass, 04's fail. Some other poor bloke when through all that hassle.

Not sure if you can do this, but what the hell. I'll suggest it anyway. :whistling:

I reckon the cheapest and quickest way to get it registered again would be to:

1. Consult with automotive engineer regarding getting the car fitted with emissions compliant motor.

2. Buy it

3. Fit 350Z VQ35DE and all emissions gear in place

4. Get Engineered with the alternate engine with all emissions in place and get car complied.

Compliance is the biggest load of $hit for M35's. They practically do nothing, although they did do the emissions and crash testing with a dummy to start off with, and that is what you are paying for.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
