M35 Cargo Barrier

[pixel8r]

Howdy,

My M35 didn't come with a cargo barrier so I'm just wondering what my options are.

Firstly, if I was to source a factory one from japan, does anyone know roughly what price I'd be looking at?

Is it worth getting one made to fit locally instead?

I want one that is removeable. I was happy with the factory one in my s2 - I presume the M35 factory one is similar to that as I have similar hooks in the roof etc to clip it to.

The other thing I'm missing is the shopping cover - although I can probably live without that one since the windows are dark enough you cant see in the boot anyway.

Would be interested in hearing from anyone who has had a cargo barrier put in, or bought a factory one separately...

Cheers

I don't have one Steve, sorry... but you could always get RHDJapan to list the price of a new one if you don't want to go 2nd hand on IM.

RHD have better pricing on quite a few items (Nismo thermostat cost me $55 less for a new one delivered to my workplace through RHD than it did to get a second hand one via IM)... having said that, some of their stuff is ridiculously prices (Nismo bodykit for example).

May not be suitable for what you want, but I got one of those cheap(ish) ones that just extends to wedge itself between the floor and the roof from Autobarn. I realise it's not terribly strong (it's aluminium, not plastic), but it's only indended for keeping the dog off the leather. We're always taking it in and out to get the bikes / bed / other stuff in the back, and it's much more convenient than having to break out the spanners every time.

Was only $60 or something I think.

The factory one is quite clever with it's design.

* It can be extended to fit in to different locations in the boot. (telescopic)

* It can be stored either under the floor or as a basket below the roof.

* On either end the end caps are slotted so it can be locked into the trim on the outside linings of the boot. If you have a look in the fold out clips you will see that inside each clip it narrows and the barrier locks into this slot.

* it has straps in on the lower edge so it can be held in place using the loops on the floor.

If you can get one it is very good.

Apparently not.

I gave FTG Nissan the part numbers for a price quote on the cargo barrier (H4935-AQ000) and the M35 car cover (K9001- AQ000), but was told if it is an accessory it cannot be brought in by a Nissan dealer as they are sourced locally in Japan and not "made" by Nissan.

Would be great if any of you guys would like to try Hornsby Nissan, just to double check that this is correct.

(Once I told him that I got the part numbers from my version of FAST, he was not happy so I figure I may not have been supplied with correct info)

Yes and yes.

If they can do it, can you also get a price on the car cover for me?

Thanks for all the replies!!

I'll have another look under the boot but I'm well aware of the different sections under there and haven't seen it before - but I haven't been looking for that when I've had the floor pulled up either...

Is it in where the spare wheel is or is it in the other section further forward where the tools etc go? or maybe there's a 3rd compartment I wasn't aware of.

Failing that I will try to get hold of a factory one somehow. Was hoping to have something within 4 weeks (driving to adelaide) which probably wont be possible if i'm importing one...but we'll see how we go.

Out of interest is it something any importer would be able to source easily? I know the guy I imported my car through and he has offered to get me any parts I might need too - might be worth asking if he can get hold of this. If I have any luck I'll let you guys know.

it sits across the entire floor under the main floor section and the little side bits. youll know it if its there!

seriously if prices through those other people are expensive. try import monster. ive seen both beige and black colours in the last few weeks on there. and they will get it into the country within about 4 days.

You may want to confirm that it can be shipped via air.

You should be fine, bit it may be too long.

[zei20l]

ahhh good point, i dont see it being much longer than a strut brace (if at all), and they can be shipped by air AFAIK. item B or C from memory........

[iamhe77]

I just questions as I see it as between a strut bar and a front bar in size... and you cannot Air ship a front bar unless it is chopped in half.

(Especially poor is when you miss the container cutoff time by less than 2 days... D'oh!)

[zei20l]

ohh no is that what happened to yours??

[iamhe77]

yes

F&F.

Dunno how much longer. Whenever the next container is filled.

I am expecting about 3-4 months.

[zei20l]

ouch! gives you time to prepare the car and maybe install the emanage
