M35 Info

Recommended Posts

Sweet. Hoping to pick up the car tomorrow after work :ninja:

Thanks Iain. Looking forward to owning and driving the M35.

I can't believe their a 2002 model. They look so modern.

What's the go with the flutter on this video? Is this just because that part of the intake pipe was removed?

Fair enough.

One thing that impressed me about the M35 was the factory sound system. The bass is so rich and clear and mine doesn't even have the optional sub.

Even on one of the loudest settings, there was no distortion.

Are all M35's fitted with Bose systems? Or only the ones with the optional subs?

Bose system was an option on RX, ARX and Axis models.

RS models have a Clarion unit (I agree its sound is quite impressive for a base unit), but I am unsure what the standard integrated unit was for the RX, ARX and Axis.

It looks like the Bose but I think it is also a Clarion unit packaged in the same way.

The Series 2 M35 RX models like mine, have a single DIN Panasonic (CD/Mini Disc) head unit as the standard option, with an integrated double DIN sized unit (possibly Clarion or Bose) as the alternative option.

Picked up the M35 yesterday. Superb car. Very comfortable, has good power and very modern.

Just curious on why the air filter intake features a window that can be removed to expose the filter like a pod filter?

Any reason behind this? Or is it purposely like this so you can have the option of exposing the filter?

It is the same air box as used on the V35 that has a "power duct" fitted in this spot for the NA motor.

Many M35 owners have opened this spot up. Some have been to Nissan for the "power duct" ($180) and other have made their own way of sealing the box from hot air from the motor.

Nice. Thanks for the info, Andy.

I've removed mine and left the filter exposed now. The intake sounds nice. A lot "deeper" when accelerating (especially up a hill) and the car has more response in 2nd (no placebo effect). Pretty good aye.

Just got new front shocks put in the M35 and they feel great.

Shocks are KYB 350z premiums and at NZ$225 ea. they are a bargain.

Definitely feel better than stock and way cheaper than OEM replacements from Nissan.

My steptronic's playing up. Intermiitemtly will stay in 4 with no change possible. In D will not engage o/d I think but appears to be attempting to as it surges a bit. I have had pressure switch fault code when I had it checked. Anyone else had this issue?

still doing it: can't get any code out of it this year but last year was showing the pressure switch thing

always seems to fail coming up to the big climbs - just when you meed it most

as my extended warranty expires in January I need to get onto this and can't just keep throwing dollars at inconclusive diagnostics

can anyone suggest a cause? your help is appreciated

If youre looking to get a new key cut, the genuine nissan part for a key without the remote central locking component has the part number H0564-AU000; I bought them off an ebay seller for $33 plus shipping. Unsure if it was a good deal, but it was convenient. According to a quick google search, Sterling Nissan in the Adelaide Hills may have some blanks - unsure what price theyre asking. A 10 point 'Nismo' key should also work, if you can find one.

Nice avatar Duncan :D

Fellas, does anyone else here feel that their M35 has a bit of a slow reaction with the kickdown of the throttle when you need to accelerate?

    • Suspension bush. Got urethane bushes in the upper arms?
    • thanks for heads up on actuators - will sort something as back up or solution as yes dont need that have enough trouble but no doubt some addition of something to spares boxes is required yes have a clue about WTAC but nothing has been officially put out yet so will wait to see exact details Pro class is, has been and will become a draw card for lap records and one off builds for show and thats about it I think - be interesting to see how open they make it Pro am is the old Pro in reality Open class will be split into 2 with slicks and 050's with no doubt slight variances in allowable drivers and changes in aero Clubsprint + apparently a true street class   They have to and are refreshing it all and bringing things up to current standards and need to 100% adhere to rules because whether people like it or not / or say it or not - for alot of competitors it is sheep stations and has been for a while when Im getting told I was illegal because i cut my rear bumper too high and yet others where in the grey areas of legality with everything from engines, suspension, ride heights and more serious influences it actually got quite out of control and heated this year so as much as I may be impacted by some of the changes and prob spit the dummy when I have to spend money changing things I think its a good thing for all
    • I can’t tell if it’s suspension related or maybe wheel bearing or motor mount.  IMG_6209.MOV
    • Start with a multimeter, and see if you're getting power at the TPS. There should be a manual for your car somewhere on these forums and it'll have the info for what closed TPS signal voltage is, and how it should sweep to full throttle. Same as for other sensors / valves.   Have you checked things like your base timing etc? See if anything looks amiss there too?
