Are you kidding me? Your mechanic must be on crack. I know that our cars need to have FPRs to RAISE the pressure to 51 when we do 3.5 swaps. There is no way in hell that we are supposed to maintain 68 with the VQ30DE. Wait for the geniuses to chime in.

He's talking about tranny pump pressure problems, not Fuel Pressure.
I call
on your mechanic's diagnoses. I think an automatic tranny's hydraulic system runs on much more then 60 some odd, PSI. Hydraulic systems run upwards of 150 PSI. I would think you need more then 60 PSI to hold clutch discs together in an auto tranny.
What are the symptoms your car is having?
