Hi all!
My name is Gleb. Moscow, Russia.
I apologise in advance for my English, due to much less practise over the last 1,5 years. I will make efforts to type clearly

I’m glad to join the community. I’m new for this forum, but not new for this car - own it from April, 1st, 2017.
Registered on Russian Nismo Club forum since 2017 too.
The cars like mine are too rare for my country, and high-quality tune parts rare even (or obscenely expensive
from used parts resellers). Decided to register here, cause these cars were (and are) much more popular in Western countries and on the American continent, and I hope I will find here help/some advices and I think you have more experience with these cars, than Russian community.
So, here is my car.
Other photos and car history are here, but all my posts are in Russian lang:

Welcome! Great looking machine, nice mods. And your English is just fine, no need to apologize. One more detail will help: what year is the sedan? Send a private message to @seymore4 for UpRev e-tune info. Also look into PartSouq.com. They ship from Dubai. Not sure if/how that works in current environment. But they still seem to have some of the VQ35 model OEM parts in stock; many of the online vendors no longer trade in this getting-older-every-day platform.

 

oups, added manufacture month+year in post.
it is March, 2005.
Thank you for high ranking and advices!

 

Guys, i would like to ask you one thing.
In 2008, Tomei announced Expreme Manifold Ver.2. But there is almost none info about Ver.1 in Internet.
My problem is, that after installation of that Tomei Expreme Manifold Ver.1 VQ35DE + Custom Cats with perforated diffuser outer diameter 100 mm and length 200mm, internal diameter 60mm length 200mm, cat pipes 60mm (same as manifold outer pipes diameter 60) , I faced a big oil consumption, approx. 1000 ml/100 km (1.05 quart / 65 miles), right after the installation (in a few hours).
I decided that the problem was with the engine - and i did engine overhaul (changed piston rings, valve oil seals, crankshaft bearings, connecting rod bearings, engine gaskets).
Oil consuption now remains on 650 ml/1000 km (0,68 quart / 621 miles).
I assume, that this manifold causes missing counterpressure in engine and leads to the oil being "sucked out like with pump" of the engine. Besides, my friend says that the oxygen sensor installation place in this manifold was done bad, and ECU incorrectly regulates the fuel supply, as it receives data from only one cylinder on each side. He also told me that in American segment the "workaround" solution for this oxygen sensor problem is to plug the oxygen placehole in manifold, and install the sensor in upper part of the cat pipes (near the connection to manifold).

Does anyone knows anything about same cases? We don't know what to do and what to think last 6 monthes, cause, as i already mentioned - Russian experience with such cars is too weak, and there is almost none info about Manifold Ver.1.
Thank you!

 

Have you tried a catch can system?

 

No, but i checked PCV valve - seems to be OK. Is there any connection between oil catch can system with missing exhaust counterpressure theory?
By the way, maybe i should start a new thread about this issue?

 

Yes, a new thread on-topic in the correct sub-form for your issue would be good. Just one post needed per topic. Different issues would go in different sub-forums.

 

Created a new thread in Intake&Exhaust sub-thread.
