Yes, 350z parts are fine to use, I don't know about the fwd maxima.

Now, the only way to fix the plug tube leak is to buy a whole plastic cam cover, which is a pretty expensive fix. If you not talking about a lot of oil, and it isn't coming from the outside of the valve cover (that seal is replaceable), then it's best just to leave it alone. It doesn't effect any performance, as it's an insulator.

Thanks guys - appreciate the guidance!

And make sure you get parts reference from a 2003 350z
They got some engine changes in 2006 I seem to recall.

Just so I am clear on this - are you saying that the 2003 350z engine is the best match as the local 2006 350z engine changes mean it differs from the 2006 Stagea set up?

Thanks again.

All 3.5 stageas got the same motor as a 2003 350z

2006 350z received the "revup" motor, that would be 95% similar, but had some changes.

Models after that got the vq35hr which is significantly different.

You could use your vin to check parts, that way you know they are correct. EPCdata then Amayama. ;)

As Alex said, the plug tube gaskets are not replaceable, you will need the entire rocker cover which will set you back $250 odd. As the oil only weeps in, and the oil is an insulator, you have no problems if you ignore it.

    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
