do u have any idea on what the car would be priced in oz?

Northshore Prestige is the place that imports and complies the PM35, however they currently only have automatics in stock.

Have a look at their website, might be worth giving ben a buzz and just asking for a typical ballpark figure for the 2wd Manual version.

hmmm interesting....this AXIS 350S seems to have an AR-X front bar and standard grill.

That would be the least of your worries if you bought that car as who would comply it for you?

There is only 1 workshop with the evidence to comply this model and they are only complying vehicles they import.

Cheers

So this is a misleading advert then? I remember a while back there was then same sort of thing with the PM35's going on with an importer on this forum!

So am I right in saying that Northshore Prestige is the only shop handling the PM35 ATM?

"An" importer, aye? lol.

You are correct in saying that Northshore Prestige are the only place you can get PM35 at the moment.

I wrote a little comment to j-spec stating that as far as I was aware there was only one place that could compliance these and that they were only supposedly complying the cars they themselves import. This was there reply

Hi Stephen,

Yep that's absolutely correct unfortunately, they are only doing their own cars so they can mark up the prices massively and make a big profit. They've indicated they will make compliance available to other people later in the year (if someone else doesn't get compliance first).

Regards,

Ben Lippa

So, if you brought this car and imported you could well be up the S#1T. Dangerous stuff really, anyway I just wanted to see what j-spec had to say about the situation.

and yet they are advertising them, including an estimate for compliance, and not a whisper on the site about the fact that they cannot organise compliance?

Thats just plain fricken rude!

And why shouldn't Northshore only comply cars for themselves? I don't see other companies putting their hands in their pockets to get testing done.

Sounds to me like J-spec bad-mouthing because they cannot free-load off Northshore's effort. :D

perhaps j-spec are just quoting how much it would cost by actually placing an order with Northshore...would make sense you would just say I want this car and they would turn around to Northshore and ask them to import it with them acting as a broker almost.

I see whta you are saying, but it wouldn't happen. The price quoted on the website is "landed and complied" through J-spec.

Nowhere does it "break down" the amount that Northshore would have to make in the equation.

Is this car eligible for import?

Yes, we have checked this car and it is a model eligible for import under the SEVS compliance laws.

We have also allowed $2800 for compliance, which is a reasonably typical compliance price available for this particular model.

Also, how would they know how much compliance is for a 3.5L M35?

Just as simple this time as it was last time - if you can't sell it, don't advertise it stating you can

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
