After lurking on this side of the forum for a while and reading most topics related to m35's, I have finally picked up the new car, and drove it back to adelaide from sydney in 14 hours 25 mins (including fuel and pub for shniter). So its got cruise, sunroofs, tv, reverse, electronic nismo muffler, hid's, weds/kranze "rapier" 18 x 9? inch wheels, turbo timer, and heaps of other stuff [random amps/etc bose sub, splits with tweeters on dash/rear doors etc] Very very happy, but there are a few things that need attention. Mechanically its all good, they had to do a wheel bearing on the front machine discs, change the front struts due to a knock, and put a new stereo in (It had a jap gps and pioneer screen in it on arrival and replace radiator prior to delivery. Now I have a stock set of struts in the front, and lowered springs (yellow) and blue shocks in the rear, so the rear sits very low and the front sits very high and obviously looks shit and handling is wierd as [very stiff rear and very soft front]. I have recieved the front struts and springs (again blue and yellow nismo??) the old jap head units (usless), when they had the dash apart to do the stereo I got them to remove alot of wirring that is no longer needed (for the aftermarket head unit/gps/aftermarket tv tune). I think I am going to put the other struts in the front, but i think its going to be way too low, thoughts??
Also with the wheels, not really my thing but its not hugely on the priority list to get a new set straight up, I hate the chrome, and was thinking about taking them apart and sand blasting and powdercoating them, but what color? Charcoal or something????
Sorry for the essay, but have had a lot of time behind the wheel to think about this stuff, please tell me what you think/see wrong haha. Also the car is filthy but took a couple of pics anyway......
