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.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
