So i've been looking around for some roof racks for my M35 ARX, without much luck. had a search in the forum...no love either.

Has anyone fitted roof racks to their M35? if so - where, how and how much?

I have tried ARB and Roof Rack City (in adelaide) but neither are very willing to help out if it's not in their magic book of standard products.

Only looking to carry a couple of surfboards/snowboards, so no massive loads or anything.

Do roof racks from any other model fit the M35?

I got my racks from Roof Rack City in Artarmon (sydney). They are the importer of Thule into Australia so they will be able to advise you of the best model and where to get it from in SA.

If you have no luck with them send me a PM and I will find the part number for the racks.

Cheers

OMG... I would have sworn that I had posted the part number some where... What I can find are pictures of the part that mounts on the roof and the foot on the bar locks onto it. I used the thule Aero bar but you can use the square bar if you prefer.

Here are the pics. I will call them tomorrow and see if I can get the part number from them.

Hi Guys

I called Thule today and tried to clarify what was available for the M35. The answers are:

* The fit kit I have is no longer available so they have a new solution.

The solution is.

Fit Kit = TK3034

Foot kit = RT753

Aero bar 135cm

Total kit cost is $360 (plus postage if you are interstate)

There is a small amount of modification required to the fit kit to make it fir the M35.

If you are interested in getting this roof rack kit you can phone, Dan @ Roof Rack World on 02 9439 2677.

He knows what our cars are and can set up a set for you and send it out to the guys who are interstate.

This is their site if you want to look at it. http://www.roofrackworld.com.au/

Cheers

Andy

I got Thules but also the OEM's thanks to a link posted on here to a trademe auction. Got these for $300 NZ so were a bargain. Cost the seller 1100 new.

I'll offer you $400NZD. . . what a profit. . lol. . . . .$400NZD should be about $0.55c aussie. . . ha h ah a

I have been searching for racks and found a website in Japanese that has a kit specifically for the NM35, I just cant find anyone that sells the products in Australia. They are RV INNO kit number 271.

The bars are your typical square look.

I have just made an enquiry to an Australian company called RAK, they have telescopic, universal fit racks. Has anyone tried these? The bars on it are a squashed look for aerodynamics and are anodised aluminium from memory. The Kit was $298.

I will keep you posted on fitment.

    • What ECU is on your car @silviaz? You can just change the idle target table yourself and the IACV duty cycle. Noting that if you play around with the screw you'll also need to revisit the idle base duty table as you will end up offsetting the lot. Another reason why DBW is superior, there's less mucking about.
    • Yep. Saw that on the image above but, wonder if it makes more sense to clean out the iacv because let's say in theory mine is dirty and if I clean it the rpm will drop. If I first go to my tuner to drop the rpm and then go to clean my iacv won't it drop further or is the rpm a fixed number?
    • Yeah it was a good result, and confirming the car is full of fluids and all interior etc in, other than fuel. I think a few pages back (maybe many pages!) he mentioned some serious lightening in the doors with the chassis punch, might have been done elsewhere I hadn't seen yet too
    • He still had the suspension dialled in for him! I would have sworn the lowest weight he ever got to was 1300kg though Maybe Neil had been drilling a LOT of holes somewhere you haven't found yet... 😛 Or has he also drained all the gearbox and diff oil out too, between it, and a tank full of fuel there's about 65kg to 70kg to add back in I'd guess. 😛
    • Yeah this isn't a super complex shape, but I was still happy to buy instead of fab version 1; very little in a modern can is a flat surface, and that is true here again - the undertray has about 50mm in height differences that I would have had to work out myself. I will probably make something more substantial before it does any rally, I don't think 1mm steel is too much use as a bash plate. There is also cooling to think about, Z1 have done a bit of development and have some air holes and louvers in the shape, will see how that works out too
