Hey matey,

Plenty of good info on this site. What I suggest is using the search function, or flicking few a couple of pages. There have been quite a few new owners with the same question lately, and the info is in those threads.

Plenty of good examples within the country, and there are some dogs too. Don't know if I'd take the risk importing when there are lots already around.

Hope you enjoy your stay.

I'm really sorry man. I'm as informed on that as you are, as I'm the new owner and I didn't fit the kits myself. From what I can see they say Infiniti on them. They seem a lot bigger than any standard 350Z kits I've ever seen. I think the discs are 14 inch up front or something. The wheels are 19's and do seem to be a shape that bulges outwards? A total noob answer I know. I live in North Sydney if you are at all local and we could arrange for you to see them if you like?

Really nice looking car! As I've just purchased my first Stagea (2002 AR-X), I'm looking for ideas how to enhance the looks of it. First M35 Stagea here in Finland so not much to compare with :)

Spec Dock seems to be great way to connect iPhone to original stereo. There's 3 models available but I'm not sure which would be the best. I believe Infiniti G35 is the car model of choice but after that it gets confuses as there are some mixed information. Which of the three you used? I don't need video from iPhone but would like to control everything from steering wheels controls.

Also, what spec are your wheels? I have spare set of XXR 527's in 18 x 8.75 ET35 waiting and I'd guess they should be quite spot on.

Its off a g35 infinity. Bolts straight up. Check ebay finds as I posted heaps of v35 sets

Pretty sure they're G37/V36/Z34 Akebonos and you'd need an adaptor to make them fit on the M35's....

The 350z/G35 Brembos fits without an adaptor...well you need to cut off the rear dust shield...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah, apparently the way to do it is just mess with how much timing the engine uses to try to correct idle. So it massively undershoots, then overshoots, then undershoots, then overshoots. So timing is going from 5deg to 45deg to 5 deg to 45deg. But I kinda prefer the car to not lurch around and have a dependable idle. Given it didn't idle for shit and stalled about 7 times on the way home, still yet to drive it for the 2nd time to see if it's fixed.

      Alright. Many little things have been sorted and the car successfully drove home with an incredibly huge exhaust leak. Unsure if it's simply been awhile, but new heads and cam and intake sound f**kin awesome. It might only be me that notices it though, and it's hard to tell from a 15 minute gauntlet run home and attempting to bleed the radiator. Undertrays on, tools out, road brake pads in, idle un-f***ed, time to do some road tuning. From my commute around town it sounds and drives *really* nice (with a max of like 35% throttle). It'll go to a dyno for a proper before and after once the tune is more roughly dialled in. And @Dose Pipe Sutututu I did learn how to do a proper chop tune at idle. I did indeed even do it, but the car shaking around at idle from the driverr seat made me make it smooth again.. I feared for my engine mounts and clerances to engine bay jank. . After the exhaust is fixed I may mess around with it more. I'm just happy to have it drive around without bucking or stalling which is a WIP.

      Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.

      Bushings are almost done. Check the date stamp 😂 these are likely the original bushings with 27 years and 243ks on them.     Was too dark to get a pic of the worst one.
