[garetb16]

Hey Guys

im the proud new owner of a NM35

thanks for the website its overloaded with lots of good info but due to there being so much im finding it hard to find some answers

have a few questions...

whats the difference between NM35 and M35?

will the engine share the same oil filter as a 350z? or can anyone quote the ryco part number?

also is there an M35 parts specific page? having trouble finding it

picking the car up tomoz and think i will change the oil as am going away over the long weekend with the new car and wouldnt mind knowing the oil and filter is fresh.

thanks

Just about any metric thread (m20) oil filter will work, im running s15 I think at the moment.

what are the 3 functions of the 4wd/diff control switch?

i know it says snow and stuff but whats the best function for different styles of driving?

or what does each function do?

Snow = low boost and power split 50/50 front to rear to 40kph.

Sncro = split 50/50 front to rear to 40kph.

Middle = full ATTESA mode. mostly rear till slip or lateral G detected and power sent to front wheels

[garetb16]

ok cool.

so snow isnt really needed for Australian conditions.

SNCRO: 50/50 all the time.

Middle: Attessa (prob best for all sorts of driving)

if you were going for a "spirited drive" for example would you go Sncro? or just leave it.?

[Cephas]

Just leave it in the middle position.

Some very good info is available here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATTESA

Refer to the ATTESA-ETS section.

In general its best to leave it in the middle position, but if you're driving on some really slippery surface where you need a bit more help from the AWD, you can put it in 50-50 "synchro" mode. Its not usually necessary for normal driving however, even on very wet roads...

True, BUT if you are driving on a winding gravel road "synchro" is fantastic
