Hi guys, 

looking for opinion if that worth to swap vq30det instead vq25det? i couldn't find any topic with similar project, i wonder if awd system will work properly and gearbox will fit straight? idea is that solving issue with ecu tuning as vq30det is supported by nistune, actually some will ask why change the engine instead of buying ecu? but first i couldn't find any ecu for that and second i have spare vq30det engine already)

I didn't know Nistune supported Y33 VQ30DET, interesting...

From info on hardtuned (and another SAU thread) the Y33 and M35 ecu pin outs are pretty different. And from my understanding, the Y series ECUs control things like the climate control and part of the navigation display. Not sure about the M35 but you risk losing some of the interior functions. Not to mention the new ECU would probably need info from the auto box, and M35 runs RE5 while the Y series all run RE4.
Sounds like a big task and lots of unknowns.

Doesn't really help you but the only VQ30 into Stagea swap I know about used a Link ecu and manual box from a Z (so RWD)

I have recently put a Haltech Elite 2500 in my M35 with the VQ25DET, i believe it is the first to have it done in the country. I have been working with Matt from Haltech to clean up and sort out the base map for the computer, which was a sucess. The car is now tuned and it runs beautifully.

Anymore details? Is it just acting as a piggyback?

Mine isn’t yet, but it can be added in, after the motor is wired there still are a few available outputs that can be used for what ever you please. If you run out of outputs you can get a CAN hub and add more.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      What Duncan said sounds right. Also, it looks like they only have the driver's mat. Not the rest. Because looking at the diagram: KG4911 is just the mat for the driver. KG4900 is the full set if I'm not mistaken and discontinued.   But, it looks like they may still have the full set for the manual S2. Might be worth checking for the other models as well as they seem slightly different. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/misc/G49 Man, I'm tempted.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
