Hi all,

I've been reading up on the site for sometime now and have finally decided to register and pitch a question.

My fiance and I are looking at importing a later model PNM35 Stagea, 3.5L NA, not fussed if its Auto or Manual (though i know Manuals are rare and rather expensive).

The question is if there are any other RAWs offering compliance for the PMN35 or is North Shore Prestige the only ones at the moment? Am I correct in saying that they will only comply cars they have themselves imported too?

Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

~Dom

Not sure if vince can help, but lately Stagea's are what he has been importing. Give him a call during business hours if you like.

^^^ He only does VQ25DET. To the best of my knowledge, Northshore are the only ones with emissions evidence to plate PM35s currently.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Also, does anyone know if there is any truth to the rumor that they wont comply a vehicle they themselves did not import? They dont currently stock an example of what we're after but im not sure on their prices either; they seem a little high imo.

Yes that's correct. Nth Shore Prestige are the only ones that hold evidence to plate PM and PNM35's.

Why don't you call them yourself and ask?

I have spoken to Ben recently about having them import a PNM35 for me and how much on top of the FOB price it would cost me, but he very, very reluctant to say... which I take as unwilling to do so.

If you prefer a less direct approach to contacting Northshore, register at www.m35Stagea.info and PM him there.

As an aside, I have either bought or had a hand in the purchase of 5x M35's from Northshore and have nothing but the best to say about their service and cars.

Only 5 cars....?!

Yeah, what said above is true to my knowledge, but there is a Mystery car popped up, up here that I can't explain. The PNM35 is a great car, the NM35 guys will hate me for it, but when I drove both, the Series 2 just seemed so much more rounded and nice to drive. Def. a better interior, and a fair bit more parts support with a VQ35de.

Talk to Ben. He might be a bit scattered atm, they are moving premise about 6 km up the road. He'll point you in the right direction!

+1 happy customer!

edit for link...

lol... we don't hate you for it Alex, it is a newer model so it should be more rounded.

Best be careful with other brokers advertising the availability of the PM35 Stagea's... I seem to recall J-Spec have advertised on two separate occasions that Stagea's were available when they clearly weren't (2004 build VQ25det - cannot pass emissions and they advertised the VQ35de Stageas availability last year based on a dodgy workshop lol)

Just raising it so past mistakes are not repeated by buyers that are unaware of the situation.

For Nth Shore Prestige with other workshops having evidence for PNM35 at the auctions they have competition to a certain extent as it isn't a common car, they committed the money to get them approved so to keep there bussiness viable in my view they have made a good bussiness decision.

I guess there is a difference between advertised online generically (with jap pics or whatever i.e JSpec) and actually having the Car in Brisbane.

Possibly great big stuff up...who knows?

Not a bad idea, kind sir. :devil:

Thanks for your opinion too, appreciate it.

Thanks for the opinions and help guys, really appreciate it.

I'll be giving North Shore a call shortly to query if they will comply a car that they didnt import themselves and post up the results.

Once again, many thanks :devil:

Well,

I've just gotten off the phone with Ben who advised that they are not offering compliance at this stage for cars they themselves haven't imported.

North Shore would be happy to locate a suitable vehicle and import it but it would be priced as if it were one of their stock and couldn't give me an estimate of their service fee as such.

Might have to have a word with the missus regards what we're actually after and search for an appropriate example for them to source.

:whistling:

fair enough if you ask me. it make the most sense from their perspective. it would be nice though if they'd at least quote a fixed 'margin' above car cost etc so you can figure out what kind of car you can buy FOB to end up at a landed and complied cost but I guess they like a bit of mystery.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
