They are easily double the money of any NM35, and you can't comply them. So unless you put up the money to go through all the compliance work- its not going to happen. I wouldn't want to go to that interior anyway. Wish they made it off the series 2.

Scotty- Aren't they the same as any V35 series one manual? how does the length of the box match up between a V35 manual, and a R33 or R34 GTR box? You might buy it only to find out it doesn't fit!pinch.gif

Thats to the US mate.

Estimates I've seen here is low 30s to mid 40s + 50k to 60k as I understand to get compliance for a model.

Thats a lot of manual conversions....buy a series 2- Get a V35 pedal box and gearbox, job done.

Suppose you know what grill you bought now...

I only placed a bid on the pedal set. I had the same thought about the console, better to mod the one I have I think.

wow i do love those seats too. i was thinking they would be in like mid range 30's from your post pn-mad, for 16k if they could get complied id jump on it.

Thats to the US mate.

Actually that is the price of the car off the lot (Goo-net display cars that are for sale via dealerships). Then you have to pay transport in Japan, shipping here, customs, GST etc, transport to compliance shop IF you can find one that wants to get the compliance plates for the 350S (good luck).

Prob add another $8k on top. Much, much more than that if you have to pay for the testing/evidence/emissions etc.

Same seats are in the PM35 Axis S so easy to come by

so why is it that a compliance shop doesn't do the testing etc. surely within our circle there is a big demand for manual m35's. one would think they would make that money back quite quickly, or is it some insanely high price for that particular model for some reason??

They would normally, but it would be extremely difficult for them to make their money back on the 350S due to how rare the car was and I wouldn't think that many would be willing to fork over, say $40k+ for a 2003 Stagea.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.

      Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.

      By PranK · Posted

      The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
