R35 GTR seats are heated yes, fully electric adjustable and are very supportive (but i guess this is to expected from something out of a GTR) To the untrained eye my R35 seats look factory as the leather is a perfect match with my M35 back seats.

Trans sold, Front bar / Grill sold. Attessa sold. All other bits still here. Come buy them Cheers

Not sure mate. Don't know alot about the masa gear... i should probably google

My brain now hurts... mind you I have no idea how much wider the masa front guards are compared to stock... It also doesn't look like Leks has pumped his rears.

Yeah i am thinking the same... I found a picture of an PM35 with 18x9.5 +10's... bit of poke tho. I'll attach the picture to this post.

you don't say... hmm.

Ok so i managed to find a decent set pricewise of Varrstoen ES6's but they are 19x9.5 +12's. So i'm now not that worried about the rears anymore but the fronts slightly worry me... I had a fresh read of the threads on here but with my skim reading i couldnt find anyone running a +12 on the front of an M35. I think +22 on a 10 inch rim was the closest i could find... I reckon, as mentioned above, i could make them fit... They would look mad too.

I may go for meisters. Haven't made my mind up yet but i think you'll find a decent price difference.

Cheers mate but if i do go for actual Work Meisters i'll be going for an imitation set (Varrstoens) I'm just not 100% where to shop for them as yet. The US site won't show my postage costs to Australia even though Australia is an option on the ordering page... I emailed the NZ distributor but the cost of the wheels seemed a lot more expensive even taking into account shipping to them. I mean of they are a distributor should i have to fork out full tote for that side of the shipping??? perhaps i do...

yeah that's what i figure. Anything can be made to fit but i don't want to run any sort of impractical camber. The 350z's i have seen look great and i am basing my M35's look on them. I have a few other jobs to do before i go shopping for wheels anyway so i'll think about this a bit.

Attesa pump and Auto Trans sold. Cheers guys.

Nice one. I can't recommend the manual path enough for those wanting a nice street experience. I want to get the car sitting nicely on nice wheels and add a new stainless cat back exhaust which can now sit higher due to not having an auto to clear. Then it's back to tuning / turbo choices to finish it off

Yeah i agree mate. Would look fairly impressive in my opinion.

Excellent info mate. Much appreciated. I think for the hassle involved i'll just stick it out with 9.5's all round but my intention was to borrow some style from the 350'z crowd that run Varrstoen ES6's staggered on my M35. (see attached image) I may still go that path so we shall see... Thanks again mate

Ok so this may seem a silly question to some but hear me out and do your best to speak down to my proposition.... I am fully aware from reading this and the other thread re: wheels that 9.5 +33 (or was that 9.5 +22.. i'll double check) is perfect fit for the front of an M35 due to suspension arm etc but my question is regarding the rears. Assuming i roll the guards has anyone has any experience fitting 11ich wheels on the rear with tyres to fit (not streched). Probably a +12 or a +22 or something like that... Please remember i have no Attesa to keep happy so no fear from any of those issues. Oh and 19inch wheels.... btw Cheers.

Trans, Seats , front bar + grill also on hold. Other gear still available Cheers

G'day folks, I'll have to get some pictures together but i'm going to list all the bits i have stored in my garage. I'm not 100% sure what all this stuff is worth so feel free to make offers. I'm sure a few could help me with fair prices (hopefully no bastards try and take advantage of my kind nature) So all parts are working fine upon removal from my 2003 M35 Stagea RS. Auto Transmission with Transgo Shift kit and transfer case - $700 Centre console (from auto shifter back) - $100 Black leather Seats with all electrical parts left over from my swap with R35 GTR seats. - $400 (seats look a bit dirty but that pic is terrible.. they are in good nik) Stock intercooler + piping - $100 Stock suspension - $150 Standard front bar + reo in factory blue - $200 Standard grill - $100 Some parts i've not been able to price but i will ring around some wreckers and do decent google searches to price the following. Front Diff, Sump, stock auto shifter, foot brake and i'm sure there are other bits... Attesa Pump on hold at the moment but it may be up for sale if the sale falls through. As i said i'll get pics and prices up asap but will accept offers for any of the above bits. I'll add more parts as i check out the garage... Cheers guys

Oh so tempted to order some Varrstoen's ES6's myself... do some rear guard work to fit as wide as I can seeing as i don't have to care about an Altessa anymore must... resist.... (that reminds me i should sell some of the parts i no longer need...)

Yeah no dramas at all. If this can help people then that's what it's all about. I know i'm going to enjoy it

Yes, If money is your concern then this build really isn't for you. Went for a decent drive then down the freeway around a few open roads. lots of change of speeds from 60 to 110+... very happy with how this has turned out.

The link has all the parts required. Get to work adding up

I'm sure Scotty already had most of the parts ready to go over a year ago I think he is neck deep in ECU / Turbo stuff atm which hopefully will save me some frustration after the xmas holidays

Just picked up the M35. (picture inserted for joy!!) The mechanic has given me a link to the build on their website so i shall share http://rdmechanicalshop.com/2015/12/22/m35manual/ Car seems to be running rich and is in desperate need of a tune. Once the holidays are over i'll get it in to have the emanage tune looked at asap. Enjoy.

Car back on hoist for hopefully the last time for the handbrake cable and a few small things. Noise from the clutch gone. Seems to be a tiny noise around the cat but i will be replacing the exhaust from the dump back. Now that the auto is gone i can get something that will sit much closer to the body (less scrape yay!!) Umm picture of Drive Shaft is all i can offer today. Handbrake is mounted and almost finished but i didn't get a picture as the car was up on the hoist. So really on the home stretch now. The mechanic has an S13 he is getting off defect for a customer and i can live without the M35 for another day so i'm hoping to pick it up tomorrow / Wednesday/ Stay tuned

Yeah at this stage i was mainly interested in simply getting the thing running as normal with the 6speed. Next will be worrying about getting the performance i would like through ECU / turbo choice but remember... daily family car
