Save your VIAS...
 

Hey Buds,

Just thought i would pass this info along...since it helped me fix my P01800 error. Its a video of some mechanic working on a 3.5 Nissan V6, SAME motor that i have on my infiniti i35 (and i've been told its the same motor as the Max.)

At First i thought i would have to replace the VIAS controller...but alas, the previous owner had some mechanic who had the hoses backwards.

Make sure your's are correct. I understand that if they are not...it will damage the VIAS controller (*another $100 bucks down the tubes).

Anyway, here's the vid.

no big deal imo you can find ones at the junkyard, or just remove it completely and get/make a block off plate. thanks for sharing though

Ok...what's a "block off plate?"

What are the pros and cons of having a Blockoff Plate?

the hole on the side of your intake manifold where your vias is has a plate and attached to it is the vias. a block off plate is just the plate on its own but covers the hole.

you lose a bit of low end tq/hp and gain more up top. search nwp block off plate in google and here
