Found some from 2009. The lobster bends were smoothed out on the inside with minimal gaps (perhaps 2mm) where the silicone joiners were used.

Not easy to find pics from 15 years ago, but here is a partial one. Keep in mind that it curved immediately from the airbox, then kept a straight line for the MAF to read correctly, followed by a 45 degree bend straight down to the turbo. This connection was the most difficult as it had to twist as well as bend to meet the almost vertical straight section of the intake.

Anything for a 2003-2005 G35 will fit an M35. Just be mindful about clearance if you're running a plenum spacer or runner spacer.

I recall we made a 3" stainless intake from the airbox and to the turbo for my VQ25det way back when. I designed it so that the path was as straight as possible. Scott made the top and bottom section out of stainless (lobster cut which allowed for tiny adjustments, then smooth out the internal walls) and we clocked and connected each to the OEM MAF assembly with cut down silicone joiners to keep the continuity of the internal wall. Unfortunately I can't supply photos as Photobucket now have them behind a ludicrous paywall. There was very, very space between the rocker cover, exhaust manifold and the intake, but it was thoroughly wrapped top to bottom so heat was not a massive concern. Just make sure that your air flow sensor is on a straight part of the intake. If it is on a bend, it won't register the airflow properly and will stall.

I didn't personally do my front ones as I don't have a press, so I can't tell you. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if they disintegrated on the hub when removed but this might help Regarding the rears, Rockauto will deliver from the US warehouse to AUS in about a week. 370z Timken hub assemblies and Trakmotive axles come highly recommended and will set you back around AUD900 delivered which I thought was better than $700 for a set of used (100,000kms) OEM options.

Do you mean the entire arm or just the wiper? If just the wiper, you can get them at Autobarn or Supercheap usually.

Supercharge MF75D23L has a 650 CCA and fits a PM35 (I have one in at the moment).

This unit, right? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/387099265984?itmmeta=01J4N51WYS8TZZQJBDHRJSXTQ0

There are two. One with "intelligent key" (proximity key) and one without. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/pm35/6844-vq35de/body/998 Doesn't look like a shared item outside of V35 Skylines which may be handy if looking for a wreck. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/d8700cg027 https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/d8700ac228

G35x should be a match. Not sure if the 2008+ items will be a direct fit as they might need the front axles also - much like when upgrading to 370z rear bearings, but the 2004+ should since they are the same chassis as our PNM35 Stagea. For what it's worth, I used replacement bearings from JustJap last year which need to be pressed onto the hub.

Yes, 85mm vs 95.5mm

Depends what needs to be done. I'd personally go with VQ35 crank, cams and forged rods into a VQ25det, making it effectively a 2.8L with 8.8 compression. There are no VQ25det "kits" that I am aware of although there is a mob (Takumi Autoworks) in the UK which are putting a kit together.

Still have people staring at my car every day, sometimes getting a nod or a thumbs-up. Never gets old, even after all these years and kms.

V35 dash mate is a direct fit, just make sure you are getting the version which includes 2005 (series 2). Aliexpress have a variety of them and they reasonably well (double sided tape recommended)

For reference, I'm in VIC. Interstate is not an issue.

Do not buy an M35 if you want to tow. There are options from Japan, but they are rated to massive total of 450kg. Again, do not buy an M35 if you want to tow, they just are not built for it.

Might sound silly, but check all of your earthing points (and maybe add a few). The earthing points on M35's are really poor and can cause some odd characteristics.

Yes, I had Iron Chef import my PNM35 9 years ago. He is fantastic to deal with. Plenty of pics and has guys at the auctions who can check on the condition of the vehicle. Pricing is also excellent. Reference, my PNM35 came with 53,000kms on the clock and they were absolutely legit based on the condition of the car which I still daily (270,000kms), still performing well and still getting plenty of looks, comments and conversations. I think it ended up around $16k when all was said and done. Highly recommended.

FM range expander can be had for around $30 and will allow you to pick up the FM stations in Australia once wired in. The frequency will not match on the display though.

I'll second the quality of the TBAP unit. Quite nice.

Funny thing, I need to replace my shagged out Bilsteins and was considering the same thing (idea provided by my pestering young fella a couple of weeks ago to do it). Snow mode works pretty well in mud although it is no serious 4WD, but with decent knobbly tyres would perform admirably considering it is a highway cruiser. Haven't taken the plunge yet but I think you'll have to go higher than ARX springs. On another note, what is your towbar rated at and is it custom or an "off the shelf" item over there?

Not necessary, but you'll need to block off the hole in the intake.

Infiniti G35/G35x (4-door only).

Top 5? 1. Buy a PNM35 (3.5L) Seriously. For the VQ25det? 1. turbo back exhaust 2. plenum spacer 3. Intercooler 4. Intake filter (or full intake preferably) 5. Ecu flash

Got a mate selling his HKS turbo kit with Stillen exhaust which should bolt up on a PM35. Nowhere near $10k. VQ25det plenum has very small runner holes compared to the VQ35. Not even close to matching up.
