Trans cooler install looks nice, concerned about mud/water spray from the wheel?

All NM35 (VQ25det) cat-back exhausts will fit a PNM35/PM35 (3.5L) without modification. The M35 (VQ25dd) utilises different hangers for the rear muffler for whatever reason.

My spare has been sitting in my garage for quite some time. No point in having it in the car as it doesn't fit unless I put two 25mm bolt-on spacers on the hub. So i decided to go with THIS

Hmm, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. The only way of installing PM35 (series 2 M35) headlights on an NM35 (series 1 M35) is if you also install the PM35 grill, bumper and bonnet.

Making the stereo Australian friendly? I presume you mean with an FM expander so it can pick up most of our stations. Pretty much anyone can install one of these, just a bit of fiddling around behind the stereo. If you want to run an iPod, you can install a USA Spec doc or Grom unit while you are back there. If you mean you want to remove the factory item, take a look around for a G35 double din fascia (or get one from Japan). They use the same fascia as our Stageas. Then you can install the double din head unit of your choosing. Pretty sure you may need an adaptor for a lot of head units though.

As the others have said, 15 or 20mm. I run 10mm on my Nismos which are 19x9.5 +40 and have no rubbing. I don't think I could get away with 5mm spacers, nor would I try for that matter as there is not much room in there.

M35 = 2WD series 1 (VQ25dd, VQ30dd) NM35 = 4WD series 1 (VQ25dd, VQ30dd or VQ25det) PM35 = 2wd series 2 (VQ25dd or VQ35de) PNM35 - 4wd series 2 (VQ25dd or VQ35de) It should be noted that nobody when "we" reference M35/NM35, "we" are referring to VQ25det powered series 1 M35's and more likely VQ35de powered series 2 when referencing PM35/PNM35

You'll need spacers for the fronts (20x9.5 +45)

No scrubbing at all

haha, no. I ended up paying just under $16k for my PNM35 at a time when they were high 20's-high 30's at the one dealership that had compliance for them.

370z akebonos all round

20k? Import a PM35 through Iron Chef / Prestige Motorsport / Jspec etc It will take a bit longer than from a dealer, but you can have the joy of looking through the auction vehicles for exactly what you are after.

Only mine

Double post

No he doesn't I do. 4x 19x9.5 (Nismo 370Z front) Scott has 4x OEM 370 rear rims

Been there, done that. Tempting though

*sigh*

Yes, it is Nismo. Those could all be factory optioned for an RS (although not sure about the badge on the rear). Perhaps you should check the ECU, you may have lucked out there. That said, I do not see any Nismo side skirts, rear bumper nor spoiler so perhaps he/she ran out of Yen. Which Nismo exhaust? Round or square tips (below). I miss my old Nismo exhaust sound.

Nice front bar

That looks Takero's to me.

Timing?

Haha, very good. Who do you go through?

Need a grill and bonnet ornament?

I do like that NM35 Dayz kit. Too bad they are so rare (and none were designed for PM35)
