  1. One of the primary problems with the stock screen is its resolution, its very low so the quality is typically poor so the display quality of your phone mirrored on the screen might not be the best, especially for watching streaming content such as Netflix etc... I had an Aux setup wired into mine to display my phone and play audio, the audio was fine but the screen was pretty much unwatchable. The alternative some people have taken is to wire in a Raspberry Pi to give more control over the picture quality but even then the results have been disappointing. As someone who's been down that path I'd advise you to forget about the stock screen and invest in a good Bluetooth double din Android head unit, despite the extra outlay it'll be a much better result.
  2. Removing the screen/screen controls doesn't affect anything else. You can also use double din surrounds from V35 skylines of the same series (practically the same interior).
  3. Ahh, so that's the difference - good to know.

  6. How? Did the plugs match up? I had to hard wire mine due to the differences in the plugs, even if they did plug together some lines were definitely different (two power wires on the seat plug, one on the car plug). I have heard that M35s have two different types of seat plugs though.
  7. They look awesome mate! Quick solution for the airbag light: place a small piece of electrical tap over the light on the dash - done! Haha.
  8. Mine is an Apexi too, the same one, however it pretty much comes down to what Benriches said: I'm not saying not to get one yourself - if the increased feeling of response or a ECO restrictionis something you are looking for then go for it. just be aware that it doesn't actually make the car any faster.
  9. It can be argued that these throttle controllers are almost placebos - as they simply amplify and increase the existing input from the pedal. There isn't any noticeable increase in throttle response; if you tap the pedal it makes it more like you stomped on it instead. Simply you get more throttle from less input. However that can sometimes be all that's need to make a car seem fast - one of the first cars I owned always felt fast (but most definitely wasn't) only because it was responsive. Same applies here - amplifying a slight touch on the pedal to a bigger response at the throttle is all that's needed to make the car feel different. I can actually confirm this as I have an acceleration controller on my M35 too - its not really any faster it just changes the feel of the car in regards to responsiveness. I must admit the effect is much more noticeable with the brake cut mod switched off. Also the ECO modes are handy if you are like me and have lead-foot syndrome.
  10. Rear is the same - front is different on the NM35 (AWD) which the majority of 2.5L are in AUS & NZ. Front suspension on the NM35 is shorter to accommodate the driveshaft's. You should be able to source some good suspension from Japan via YAJ perhaps?
  11. Greddy Profec B Spec II Greddy Profec B Spec II, all wires and Greddy boost control valve - working fine when removed from the car. pick up Pakenham VIC or post at buyers expense. $200
  12. Thanks mate, I'm ok, it's staying in the garage until I replace them all, good chance to upgrade the discs and repaint the calipers.
  13. Cheers Alex, I'm in Melbourne - I have a bolt shop up the road, maybe I'll head up there with one. Any special considerations? I imagine I'd want high tensile?
  14. M35 Brake Mount Bolts Hi All, I've snapped a front calliper mounting bolt and am having no luck finding out where to purchase new ones. Most of the info I've found is pointing me to go genuine - anyone know the part numbers for them? Or any suggestions on where to source replacements? I'm keen to replace them all. Cheers.
  15. Josh sounds like he's on the money. The no dash lights also sounds like wet engine bay fuse box. Check the space under the battery for water - I lost all dash lights and a bunch of other stuff when that happened to me.
  16. Not all of those companies are still producing body kits new however. theres still a lot available via Yahoo Japan though.
  17. Some people have tried throttle/accelerator controllers without great success: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/422907-solving-m35-hesitation-from-standstill/ let us know how yours goes.
  18. Yahoo auctions Japan would be your next best bet if you can't find anything locally. Expensive shipping though. the Aero bars come up fairly regularly though.
  19. Yeah - my M35 (rightly or wrongly) got through compliance 3 years ago without the ADR restraint points, I'm not going to argue it either - I've seen some horrible hack jobs.
  20. V35 & 350z seats bolt straight up rails and all. The only thing to consider is the uneven rails on the drivers side due to a bulge in the transmission tunnel. Electrics you can get to work with some basic wiring skill and the right tools - I wired up the full electronic adjustment on my V35 seats without an issue. So if it can bolt to your existing rails and you or a friend can wire it in then you can make it fit!
  21. Concept Concaves on mine, they were cheap & busted up, a little bit of work has them looking good now I think
  22. That's a huge chin... I don't get the whole put swoopy coupe headlights on the M35 thing, its like everyone is trying to replicate the R34 front end C34 for the new generation but it just doesn't work with long lights. V35, R35 & 350 fronts all look horrible in my opinion. Why hasn't someone done a Nissan Fuga front? Its the only one that makes sense and would possibly look good. Even then I think the money would be better spent on a conversion to Series 2 M35 headlights.
