Emissions regulations tightened at the start of 2004 in Australia, so that effectively rules out anything later if you want a turbo model. They are still working on getting them through at the moment, but having enormous difficulties.

Nissan did make a 3.5 litre NA model, so you'd have to convince a workshop to do the evidence for them if you're keen enough and patient enough.

Mate, I would suggest that you do a little research on this forum and have a look at what a couple of us are going thru with these VQ25DET motors. One person has just had a succesful court case against an import workshop for providing false info. We are now on the same path (unfortunately) and are seeking a judgement against the import broker. On top of all the money we forked out for the car we are now faced with about $10G's for a court case as well. 20 months we have been trying to get this bloody car thru emissions and I seriously doubt if it ever will!

Do your homework bud and don't become another victim.

cheers

hmm, I was of the understanding that your car had the VQ35DE. Or was that the other court case?

And the VQ35 models came in manual too - I've been tempted for a while now...

So am I, rear wheel drive but not cheap last time I looked and now F#@KING expensive, then they have emissions to sort as well, they will pass just different test for Manuals and Auto which doubles the price. It will happen but the market needs to stabilise a lot more.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
