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.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
