M35 Info

[bigkevracer]

Can anyone tell me, are there bolts top and bottom holding the air con condensor to the radiator? If so whats the easiest way to access the bottom ones?

[scotty nm35]

No bolts, just some small slots in the bottom.

I just helped Dave M35 with some info on fitting, I will just cut and paste my response.

Yeh, I had a few issues too. The right hand twist fitting for the top I had to ditch the rubber, the pin was out a little too much. Looks like a manufacturing fault but it works ok.

The fiberglass had to be cut out around the radiator cap, not too much, just use a nice sharp blade so you can remove the cap easily. the fiberglass section must be further away on the G35.

The lower condenser slots are too wide like you said, but it doesn't seem to matter once the top bolts are done up. Just make sure the flat part sticking out stays above the slot then do the top bolts up.

The fan shroud is too short, I had to cut the edge off on the airbox side. Trial fit it before you put the rad in the car, you will see the section you need to remove.

Thanks Scott, might just need to use some more force on the air con condenser.

Any tricks to pulling the clutch fan off, or stopping it moving to make it easier?

[scotty nm35]

10mm rachet spanner, the long one I have makes the job easy. Shove something between the pulley and belt to stop it spinning, it may help.

Or just hold the fan with your other hand?

G'Day Lads!

Wonder if you could enlighten me on this one - tried a bit of a search, but no go;

WTF is this thingo:

Yes I feel stupid asking! Ha ha ha

Merry Xmas!

Cheers

Some form of immobiliser / alarm thingo.

[Luciano]

Cheers Alex, thats a start!

[zei20l]

yeah you need to touch that black thing to the socket to start the car (assuming its hooked up)

you also have a cold-pack model M35. nice!

[Luciano]

Ahh got ya; yeah def not hooked up if that's the case! Cheers Iain!

Can you tell by the switches in the photo yeah? I haven't particularly needed to touch those at all yet...

[zei20l]

the button with the ^^^^ on it you hold for a few seconds. it will defrost your mirrors and the wiperblades on the winscreen. handy feature if it gets cold where you are. mirrors for sure!

[Luciano]

Wow I would have never known... Thanks heaps mate!

[joshm35]

to Hobart to test them out

How would 18x 9 +27 sit on m35 with nismo s-tune suspension?

[PN-Mad]

Just nicely IMO, if it clears the suspension on the inside.

Extends an extra 1mm than my wheels. But 12mm less room on the inside than stock

Best get a test fit, and consider tyres as well.

[joshm35]

what tyres would you recommend for above fitment..... hmm test fit.....might be impossible purchasing over net.

[bigkevracer]

I really like this size converter Josh: http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

Chuck in your standard wheel size and offset, and your standard tyre wheel and offset, and then throw in your new wheel size and offset.

You can then muck around with tyre size until you get something reasonably common that puts the speedo about right.

FWIW I'm running 245/40 18s on my 18x8s, but 245/45 is the better fit.

[PN-Mad]

235 or maybe a 245 if you can fit it?

I'm not good on the internal clearances.... but know that space is an issue a little more stretch will give you room.

Someone else know?

Try looking at G35 sedans with the same sized wheels.

[Daleo]

245/45/18 would be mint on a 9".

Not really stretched; but no muffin top either.

Speedo will only be off by about 3% too.

[joshm35]

thanks ryan great tool. what doyou think bout 18x9 +27 with 245/40/18. so now I gotto measure as I have 155mm from rear fact to lip before I hit shock
