chriswills Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hi all, so i dont have a 350 or 370 but i do have something that shares a few bits, mainly the vq35de block and rear diff. I am looking to modify my engine, im not new to modifications or to japanese cars but i am new to the vq35de engine. the elgrand doesnt have the same inlet mani setup, Injectors, ecu and i would imagine different cams, the ecu does not use the same protocol as the 350 and cant be read by OBD, needs nissan consult 111 software to read. I am hoping to put a 350 inlet and ecu onto my elgrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GizmoGold Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I didn't even know these existed until someone at work turned up one day with one! Have you got any other mods planned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chriswills Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 we have only had it on the road for 2 weeks and its easily the most looked at/gets most interest car i have owned, ive had all sorts but nothing gets people talking like this lol. I have got lots on the way from Japan, it already has dvd headrests, double din, dvd sun visor lots more mods i have done too, cameras in the front valance and mirros, its on coilies, its a Ken Style kit on it, only one in the uk with the full kt, only covered 20k too!. I have cusco strut brace and arbs coming soon, i have K sport 8 pots on the way for it. is on 20s, have some more 20s on the way with a nice fat dish. Ideally i want to supercharge it. trouble is getting parts like ecu etc. i need to do some research on the 350 parts, hence joining here. Does the key link to the engine ecu and immobilise that way? i would like to get a 350 ecu and see if it will run with the elgrand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 It would be worth speaking to some of the tuners to see if they can use the uprev software used to tune 350 ecus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitevanman Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Welcome mate, seen a few of these in the flesh, but I've got to say that's one of the best I've seen.... Well done on a great purchase..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Hey Chris, welcome to the forum and just let me say that I'm another one who's never seen one of these in the UK. You've certainly picked up a peach, it looks immaculate. I'd go along with Jetpilot and have a chat to a few tuners of whom there are a few on this forum who have a fantastic rep when it comes to having high quality work done for a reasonable price. Keep us all posted and let us know how you get on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswills Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Thanks for the replys, it would seem that no one can read the elgrand ecu, unable to get it tuned in the uk. i can buy a nismo ecu but its a risk coming from japan second hand.

You cant fit a 350z engine in the elgrand and even if you swap the ecu's over there are issues getting them to work , i'm sure like anything it can be made to work if you start rewiring things etc but its far from straightforward and its not a well-trodden path in terms of useful information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
