exactly the same kit as mine

aero plus the wing!

with the rims. did you have any other issues at all? cleared the brakes fine etc?

trying to find some low offset rims myself atm im just going the space out the ones i have now thou:D

im running 15mm bolt on spacers... but pretty sure the rims clear the calipers any way, just need to get a gaurd roller on the gaurds to make some room

WOW mate! She just gets better and better!

I have been in NZ for 3 weeks and am AMAZED at the amount of M35s I have seen! Where abouts are you? I was staying at my sisters in Remuera in Auckland. Now on the South Island.

Hey Chasey sweet looking ride. I'm looking for an Aero front bar, they really suit the M35 and yours just sealed it for me.

And yeah there are heaps of M35's around now, prices are good and they're alot of car.

Auckland prices range from about 8k at the bottom (high km) to about 16k for low km top of range. Even a few 3.5's available now.

Hey guys, im new to the forum but thought id post up some pics of my RS4 turbo M35. Im in NZ but running euro plates.

Running 19x10 AME rims at +5 offset, silk road coil overs, raiser exhaust.

X-member sits at 38mm from the ground.... suspension can go lower but as you can see its hard for the body to drop any more, also top arms hit on the body at this height.

i like the look of it, but sheesh, 38mm to the x/member - has to be borderline undriveable......

might have to start looking at some bash plates to protect any important bits. if you're on stancenation i'm sure you would have seen all the images of oil pans that have scraped through!

i used to think i was bad a$$ with 60mm of clearance on my LS400.....got sick of not being able to drive it anywhere and the sound of UCA's trying to punch out of the strut towers tho...i must be getting old huh.....

nah the sump is all tucked up... the only part that touches the road at times is the engine X member... i drive this thing every day like this, clocked up about 25,000km at this height. just get to know what roads you can go down and which ones to avoid.

Ive moved to gold coast now but still have the stagea back in NZ if any one is keen to buy it

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
