350z specialist near me?

Hi all, 

 

I've got a major problem with my Nissan Stagea 3.5 V6 (sorry it's not a 350z, same engine though, so thought this was the best place). 

 

It's been converted to LPG by one of the best in the country, but that could be part of the problem. 

 

What happened was I started the engine on a mad hot day and lots of white smoke came out of the exhaust. Local garage reckons it's the stem seals but won't touch the car because they can't find any info on it. I told them it's a VQ35DE engine, same as a UK 350Z, but they still weren't interested. 

 

Does anyone know of a specialist that would be happy to take the job on? I'm based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. 

 

I really appreciate any help at all if someone could give it :)

 

Cheers, Rob

“ I stand corrected” We have one that comes into work same engine as a gtr, obviously trust your knowledge but there’s a place in Kidderminster or stourport that specialise in Nissan mainly Gtrs and also supply parts don’t know if that helps?

Thanks @Payco and @Azurez33, I’ll check those out :)

 

Cheers Azurez33, yep it’s definitely a 3.5 V6, they started using that engine from around 2004 onwards on certain models until the car’s demise in 2007.

 

Only the Autech 260 RS got the RB26, so was effectively a Skyline GT-R estate.

 

The rest got either a 2L engine or the RB25 (which my wife’s Elgrand has got).

 

I wonder if @ZMANALEX knows of any specialists up and down the country.

 

Thanks again for all your help ~ I desperately need my ‘350z estate’ back up and running.

 

Cheers!!!

Hi @ZMANALEX, I think it’s more the engine than the LPG.

 

Whoever wants to do the repair can have the number of my LPG installer and he’ll go through everything in intricate detail, no probs.

 

I just need to get in touch with someone who’s prepared to open up a VQ35DE.

 

Thanks again for all your help.

 

Cheers,

Rob

Hi @ZMANALEX, I’m really struggling finding anything concrete searching the web.

 

I tried that first rather than bothering everyone on here as I don’t like to take up people’s time if I can help it.

 

If you’ve got any contacts that I could speak with, I’d really appreciate it mate.

 

Maybe if we could have an area of the forum where people could recommend garages that they’ve used successfully?

 

That could be really helpful.

 

Cheers,

Rob
