Does anyone have any info on whether 04 and later VQ35DE's will be available to import?

When someone has the $30k+ to pay for emissions testing on top of the cost of importing, then possibly.

As of now, nobody has that, nor is prepared to have that kind of money to burn.

thanks for the info mate. I thought I'd ring around the common M35 importers and voila! Northshore Prestige has brought in one for testing but no confirmation on when it will be approved yet.

Doesn't surprise me. Ben alluded to that when I spoke to him last.

Maybe they will be done properly this time :D

It's kinda stupid the number of hoops importers and compliancers still have to jump through for this, as the atmo VQ is already available in various guises in so many ADM Nissans already, and has been for years!

Ooohh I'm shopping for a new car too. I still have dreams of a manual 350S with an APS twin turbo kit...

It would seem that someone shares similar dreams to me :)

Give me that tiptronic with AWD though

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
