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.

    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
