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.

Burning smell & Error codes Hi boys, new to the forum. I have a question and I know there's been posts about this before but I couldn't find anything related to my issue what so ever. Friday just passed on the way home from work I could notice a slight burning smell of rubber or plastic. At first I didn't worry too much because t could've been from one of the cars around me as it was peak hour traffic. However, the smell followed the whole way home. Since then I am avoiding driving it until Tuesday week. The smell will only start after about 5 minutes of driving, I wouldn't say it's an electronical problem as surely something would've happened already and I would've noticed. Just assuming. I couldn't see a plastic bag stuck to my exhaust but I didn't get a proper look as my car is too low. The smell more so comes from the driver side but I can't pin where it's coming from and when I look and smell through the engine bay I can barely smell where it is. Two weeks prior, I had some high flow cats installed so I'm not sure if that might possibly be part of the issue either. If anyone has any rough idea or have experienced that issue it would be good to know. Im booked in with Hi Power Racing next week, I might have to wait until then. Thanks
