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

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...

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.

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      Clutch done also about a year ago got a DCS HD Single Plate. Basically done everything but touch the engine 🤣 But will definitely get a fuel pump and ECU, then start saving 🫡

      Fuel pump and clutch and ecu that’ll get you to about 230 or so kw, after that the sky’s the limit and the budget blows out faster then you can blink

      Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.

      Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.

      Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
