Thanks, i am living in South America, and actually i have a lot of experience with US traders/vendors, but practically no or non existing imports of JDM spec 350z vehicles or engines into the US. As an ex-Honda fanatic, it's totally different with Nissan's. Were honda JDM engines, parts en tuning accessories are most wanted in the US. Since VQ35 engines were manufactured in both US (export) spec en JDM, there is little or no info available, since the Americans are tuning only the US spec VQ35DE which is not compatible (ECO, wiring?) to JDM. Hardly any parts are imported or swapped out of Japan in the US, making it hard to find any info on tuning JDM engines. Would carring my ECU be sufficient to do a re-flash? i will be travelling to England end of Feb., on business and would if possible try to get as much as info/parts re-flash? to carry back. Any phone number on Abbey Motorsport. Will be in Lensington? would that be logistically possible ? .....never been to England. Thanks guys for all info till now.

Thanks, who do you refer to as "traders"

Thanks i've looked and read, but no specific answers to my Q's....

Hi, i just imported a JDM 350Z (Fairlady) and now need some upgrades. I do not live the the US nor UK, live in South America, Brazil, where we are mostly US oriented in terms of parts/tune/upgrades. Only thing i know is that USDM and JDM ecu' s are not compatible therefore eliminating the "US tuning" options, COBB etc. Can anyone please advise what my JDM options are, since we have little or no experience with JDM 350Z's , every tuner here tells you "buy US spec and we can help you......", then again what is different? the ecu and or whole wiring harness? Since the UK does have a lot of imports i hope you can help Here are my primary needs: Speed limit - removal what are the options? HKS SLD? which type do i need? Tune- What are the JDM piggyback and/or tune options? reflash? .... i will be travelling to the UK end of Feb., so maybe i can carry me Ecu with me?? For now, any piggyback option will do. Also i see some folks are using D1 spec throttle controller, which i see i cannot order for my market, looking at the Weapon R option controller. Do you think that will be compatible with JDM ecu? since it's on the US ebay market? Any answers will be greatly appreciated.

Ok Thanks, Car is 350z - VQ 35 DE Clutch kit confirmed correct. Pedal feel is like stock, pedal fully returns, with no free play Pivot ball IS serviceable...... Will try to bleed again, read that 350Z's have different bleeding procedure?

Hi, its a 2003 VQ DE, with professional help installed. Complete Nismo kit, for VQ 35DE, so correct kit. Car drives fine when in gear and rolling. Only in indle (when stopped) i literally need to force it in gear. Release bearing, master and slave clutch have all been replaced with OEM parts.

I just did a complete Nismo, flywheel, clutch and pressure plate change. Also oem collar bearing and master slave cylinder change. Car wil not go into gear now while engine is running!. With engine shutoff i can freely change gears, but as soon as engine is running i literallt have to force gear into 1st (and other gears). Bleeded line numerous times, adjusted master cylinder, still no result. Looks like clutch is not disengaging properly?? Need help please...... done everything i can think of.
