New NM35 owner in Sydney, need help.

[ElianT]

This is my first post in any thread help site, please inform me of any mistakes/procedures.

I got a 2001 GH-NM35 Stagea with a VQ25DET engine, very cheap and driveable because of a blown noisy turbo and check engine light causing limpmode it seems.

A few days after buying the car and getting a stock replacement Garrett turbo, and having it installed at my local shop, I was told the car had codes "P1110 & P1135 Intake valve timing control banks 1 & 2" The car mostly drives in higher gears, doesn't agree to rev over 2-3k rpm, I noticed some misfiring and slightly rough idling; and on another note I'm unsure if the loud jet-like spooling sound is normal.

This is the first car I own that is forced induction, and isn't a 90's sports car, I'm 20 yrs old and the same mechanic shop said I'd need to do my engine timing to clear the codes and fix the car's limp-mode. With a oem kit+labour this would be well over $2000 AUD. I would normally and confirming do any repairs to my cars as I'm used to simpler builds. Before I proceed with it I'd like some advice in doing some troubleshooting on my own as well as anyone's repairs/knowledge regarding these codes and symptoms.

Hi @ElianT and welcome to

This might get some more traction in the technical forums. Do you want me to move it?
