M35 Info

[jasevr4]

Can someone point me to some good information on the turbo banjo bolt modification?

What is the problem? It gets blocked up? Is cleaning it out enough or does it need to be drilled out?

[scotty nm35]

I would just drill it out to 1.5 mm if you plan to keep the stock turbo, 2.5 mm if hou go for a bushed core.

The banjo threads into the block just in front of the passenger front drive shaft.

It get's blocked up.

I've been lead to believe that if you clean it out, use good oil and service it regularly you should be fine.

To be safe, if you're running a standard turbo you can drill it out to 2mm, and if you're running a highflow you drill it to 3mm.

Scotty and Aaron are the experts, but that's what I've been lead to believe.

Any peeps on here interested in a wood trim interior for an M35? I only ask as I'm going to paint it all black unless someone wants to trade...

You can vinyl wrap the timber part of your dash and it looks pretty good.

Vinyl wrap with mahogany look.

Irony fail?

Great info, thanks guys. Might drill it out when I go to see my old man in a few weeks since he has a drill press. I don't even have a vice at the moment!

I'm thinking solid black 2-pac, piano finish FTW.

I don't suppose some one on here knows if the centre console on an M35 is interchangeable with the V unit? Chasing both the radio surround and lower gear stick surround. Figured if they are interchangeable it would make finding these parts a million times easier.

yes, they are both inter changable.

I saw one for sale on the V series forum

Can someone tell me what the standard ride height is for an M35 250t rs four, hub centre to guard lip.

I forget to measure mine before I lowered it and I'm just curious as to how much I have now lowered it.

[joshm35]

On my m35 rx its about 395 - 400mm. Hope this helps

[slippylotion]

Sweet, thanks for that.

[jasevr4]

Any idea what is legal in SA slippy? Height adjustable coilovers are an obvious defect but if the car is the right height in the first place it shouldn't be a problem..

[slippylotion]

Well I've set mine to 360mm front and rear, this gives about 15mm gap between tyre and guard with my 245/45-18 tyres. I might drop it another 5mm but probably not worth the trouble. I like to leave 10mm gap so it doesn't get too many looks. With the aero front bar it just clears those cement stops in car parks. Its funny, when I look on the RAWS site and look up my car it shows the stock height (i think its listed wrong) and minimum height. It states unladen F and R 365mm and Minimum F and R 346mm. I had it at 345mm at one stage and its bloody low so I think the figures are wrong.

Good news if the figures are wrong!

I have to agree though, with mine setup as per Daleo's measurements, it's levelled out and scrapes on a fair bit around town. I've only just realised how shit Adelaide roads/carparks are again!

[slippylotion]

So you went with 360mm front and rear?

[jasevr4]

I haven't measured them yet but in theory, yep.

[FHF]

Rear under spoiler for the left and right muffler system

I haven't seen any mention of this here before therefore I am just shariing in case someone want to take this path...
