Give Ben a call. I just spoke to him and he believes it is possible but he needs a car and will take about 6 months to complete.

Cheers

Could not agree more. Although you may want to talk to Tony there at Northshore Prestige as he deals with the mechanical side of the business.

I for one can vouch for the boys at Northshore as I purchased my car from them last May(?).

They both continue to answer any questions I have and treat me as if I live around the corner - even though I am in another state.

.... Price was good too! :)

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but does anyone have more info on whether the 3.5 N/A can be complied or not yet. I remember reading someone was looking to get the compliance for them, but haven't heard since. Also can't find anything on the forum.

pretty sure it's in the pipeline.....Haltec are involved somehow I here....still don't get how an M35 cannot get complied but a V35 can.....anyway it's in the pipeline.

I found this on the http://rvcs-prodweb.dot.gov.au/sevs/336-02.htm

It says that it can, but I have read the problems that some of the other guys had. I'm sure it will be posted up once it gets through

May I suggest contacting Muz on these forums?

I am pretty damn sure that if it can be complied, his would be the first.

Going back to the original question, yesterday I drove an M35 VQ25DET immediately after driving a V35 Coupe VQ35DE, both in 5spd auto. Even though the M35 weighs 200kg+ more, its response and low down torque made it a more exciting drive for my tastes - (though the Coupe wins in the looks department). The M35 has a mountain of torque just off idle which you can feel tapering as revs rise whilst the V35 becomes more exciting as revs rise. My wife has a V35 300GT which feels significantly slower than both.

So the M35 "feels" the fastest because of the monster torque from 1500rpm - almost like an old school V8 but much smoother.

The SEVS register is not a list of vehicles that are eligible to be imported/complied/registered, This SEVS Entry issued by the Administrator does not constitute automatic approval for importation of nor infers ADR compliance for supply of the vehicle to the Australian market.

As of last week the M35 with VQ35 has not been tested or even in the system to be tested as no one wants to commit their own money and with the drop in the dollar a test car will be a long way off.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
