Couldn't add to above post, but here are the dimensions of the Dolphin intercooler h180mm x w680mm x d70mm Don't know the part number sorry, bu it is manufactured by Freeway and is supposedly comparable to ARC build/cooling wise 155400 yen new.

Sure mate. Expensive though Autobarn down here can get one (was quoted ~$2k in Sept last year) for NM35 Stagea (10/01-7/04) ARC Part # M103NM35G04 Thickness: 100mm Purchase price (new) ¥136600 RMS Motorsport (sponsor here) can get it in no probs. www.fortyone.co.nz can get them in 10 days ($3400NZD though ) You can see it cheekily peeping out the opening in my mate's front bar here.

Agreed. Colour coded "beard" looks ace Dunno about the rear vents. I will check tonight (as long as I remember!). Yes, I have full black leather interior

You and me both. I guess that the needle would have hit 195kph if there were numbers that far. I do know that my speedo shows 7kph high out due to 18's, but could the original speedo be out 10kph?

Oh, you mean like what my RS has?

You will find more answers on page 7 of that same thread (please read). I asked NRVOUS how much stuffing around there was when installing the 'cooler, this was his response; "Like most of these intercooler kits, there's always a little bit of trimming to be done here and there, the reo bar needed some aluminium shaved off at both ends where the intercooler end tanks finish and slots for the stock cooler needed top be cut off so the Greddy clears nicley......now its sits perfectly behind the Bar" Hope that put's your mind at ease.

Nope. An RS with Bose is an RX.

If you are going to install a piggyback ECU, I believe that the eManage Ultimate can override it. Did you end up getting that white Axis Alan?

NRVOUS has installed a Greddy V-spec intercooler on his Axis. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4288286 Looks like it fit fine with the fan. The ARC intercooler does not require any changes to any existing parts to be installed, so the fan is fine with one of these.

I love the RB26 nearly as much as the next guy, but shouldn't Mustang's sound "lumpy" and muscular? RB26 does not give the same presence in a Mustang as, say a 427 burbling out of twin exhausts. Just wrong.

Good idea. FYI Bose Standard (but with Nismo gauges)

Mate. YES! Would the front bar be from the... '01-03 kit or the '04+ kit

Definately OE... But that is a seriously beautiful V35, mate. Well done!

My mate has an ARC 'cooler on his M35. Straight swap for OE.... expensive though There are a few kits available (in order or price) from Greddy (Spec V, Spec R), ARC and Dolphin. There are probably more, but I cannot think of them off the top of my head. As far as I know, the Greddy 'coolers need some cutting to fit, but the Dolphin is a slimmer design and fits without cutting (from memory). As stated the ARC is a straight swap for the stockie. If you don't want to spend that kind of money, I suppose you could take the dimensions of any of these and duplicate whichever you like. Can't guarantee the custom job would cool the same though.

mp3 should be outlawed. Crap compression = HUGE loss in music quality. I have an 80GB iPod which has 4GB left on it. Lossless all the way baby! (ideally ripped from Vinyl)

You've got time mate

Would be useful, but; 1) How much time do you have? 2) Isn't that what FAST is for? - if you don't have it, just give a Nissan service guy your VIN & he can look the part number up. and then there are still conflicts, such as spark plugs

I do believed so... but all I can find now is pages like this stating it as a FR platform http://translate.google.com.au/translate?h...l%3Den%26sa%3DG Damn it.

I know there are a few custom 3" systems getting around on M35's here. Why not checkout NRVOUS's Project Axis thread. He has a nice setup from Liverpool exhausts (dump & Cat) but uses the Fujitsubo Legalis cat-back as well. A lot of M35's use this as it gives a nice note but is not much louder than stock.

I don't have a custom exhaust, but you can use mine as a comparison. (stock Dump) Kakimoto front pipe Fujitsubo Legalis R cat-back Bought, shipped (through RMS Motorsport) and installed mid last year (before exchange rate went to crap) for ~$1600. Dunno about now, prob in excess of $2400

Thanks, that puts my mind at ease. I foresee an possible intercooler upgrade, then roadtrip - already got my HiFlow and exhaust May even be able to convince some Vic M35's to take the trip as well. gotta say though... it's i amhe77, not jamhe77. Again, thanks for the info Tony. Much appreciated.

Somewhere a 260RS screams in pain. Not my thing at all either I am afraid (but then again, I am well past puberty).

^+1 Beautiful shots Kevin. Well done!
