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.

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

J-Spec Imports

Australia:

Canada :

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!

"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."

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

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
