Haha, yeah but both unmodified and lightly modified I can confirm that the series 2 is a far superior car.

Only thing the series one has over it is power... but if you go into heavy modified versions of each, I would suspect that the series 2 would have it all over the series 1 there as well.

lol if you had spare 20K......then you might be bumping the back door of Scott's car!.......for 5K on an NM35 you'd be getting close too!

PNM35 is how much....I've seen NM35's for as low as 9K.

I drove a PNM35 on the weekend....it lack's power!.....newer is nicer as it should be but needs a lot more powerZ.

Just press the pedal hard and it just fuggin stops. Eyes be poppin out of your head, choking on the seatbelt.

Looks awesome man. This is on the list for mine but it can wait.

I hear youve been calling my car a maxima alex.....? *flips table* but in all fairness it is called for since i call yours a murano

Cheers :D. You'll need em when you haz boostz.

not as good as mine!!!

Yea, but you got LSD n hicas with full adjustable BC's, just the three main things I won't ever have. :P also your car is a beast on four wheels.

Haha owned.

HA! heaps owned. So Brick, hows your handling going? :D Read somewhere you live around the northern beaches? Can't believe I haven't spotted you yet, I live in Collaroy before was Brookvale.

All I can really put some money into and expect better gains is in handling, which was all I was trying to say. :P

And the VQ25det was going to be so expensive to rework into something that would meet emissions standards that Nissan replaced it with the Camry-fighting n/a V6 from the Maxima which continued to be produced and developed in many models for many years....

wait. Thats the VQ35.

:P

Fixed

Haha, sensitive. Never said it was a dollar for dollar exercise, just saying that a throwing money at an NM35 vs throwing money at a PNM35 will result in the PNM35 giving the greater performance.

Yes, it will take less for the NM35 but I was referring to heavily modifying.

Also, to answer your question, you should be able to get PNM35's landed for around 11k although they will be around 150,000-180,000kms old (about the same age, or younger, than most nm35's prior to the magical wind back... just without the mechanical issues :P)

More power would be nice though... hmm, I seem to recall saying that with the NM as well so maybe it would just be a recurring thought regardless of where my car is at lol

landed is different to landed and complied!

....5K on and NM35 is going to go a shit load faster and have greater economy than on a PNM true or false?

There will soon be a heavily modified NM35 from Mercury Motorsport smashing PNM35's like glass bottles against a wall!!!......mind you it would matter if you put that driveline in the NM or PM because other than the dash it would still be the same car.

BAM!!!!

Also forgot to add the part about being in the top 10 ward's BEST engine list for 4 years. :D

Can't see VQ25DET anywhere in there?? How could they miss that? xD.

LOL...cognitive dissonance much? You do realise that the Ward's list is based only on USDM cars...

wont contest that.....VQ is a good design. Doesn't matter what variant either.

BUT!!!! Show me the POWERZ!!!

Im sure if the VQ25DET was in production for the same amount of time the VQ35DE has been i'm sure it would have been.

The 25DET is much the same as the 30DD in the sedans in the fact that it was only in production for 3/4 years and mostly got pushed aside from the hype of the 35DE and didnt really get to show its potential.

I'm sure once I get around to bolting up my sway bars it will handle pretty good. TBH though I'm bot that unhappy anyways.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
