M35 Info

Most aggressive I've seen are Jase's, which I think are 19x9.5+22. Too angry for my liking, and the camber on the rear!

Thanks for the tip Alex. I'll go home and measure. Apparently 8.5+30 extends 34mm, which sounds fine. I can always try and test fit Saturday anyway.

Wheels I'm looking at are a good price, but they're pretty beat up. Looking at buying them and running them with decent tyres for 12 months, then getting them cleaned up and powdercoated. Bronze CE28s, should look good I think, but better when I get them powdercoated black!

My car isn't that low Jase! I don't know what you're talking about

19x9.5+20. Close enough. I'm running -1.5deg front and rear. Really, it's not that mental.

[bigkevracer]

Looked mental when I saw it, especially with the stretched tyres!

BTW Found this: http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

Great tool to actually see what's going on. Very easy since Alex posted the standard wheel specs. Thanks!

Anyone running a BOSE spare tyre well sub in their non-bose equipped M35?

Just wanting opinions on how it sounds and how you got it up and running..

Cheers..

I've found a really nicely designed rim that should work quite nicely on an M35 Stagea from Avant Garde. Different design to jasevr4's, these are the M368 model:

For the Stagea they have one definite fitment option of 19x8.5+35, but also a 19x9.5+40 which I'm unsure would work. Outside clearance would be fairly aggressive, but unsure how the inside clearance would go as well as full lock-to-lock interference. The rim seen on the front of this Lexus shows the correct design (as opposed to the full concave version) of the 19x8.5+35.

You'd need a 5mm+ spacer for the 9.5 +40 to clear the strut although it'd still be close.

[jasevr4]

I love them but decided against them since their sizes are rubbish. Unless you run 20's..

[VSPEC32]

I figure the 19x8.5+35's would be of a similar fitment to the 18x8+30 found on the 350Z rims. Where did you source your Avant Garde's from jasevr4?

Anyone know where I could soarce some genuine (new) M35 floor matts?

[iamhe77]

Nissan Australia, RHDJapan (send them an email, they'll list it and give you 5% discount), Jesse Streeter, Import Monster

Part numbers are (left to right design in the pic below);

Nismo also do a mat set for M35, quite understated with Nismo plaque on front mats. Probably a premium over the normal mats though. Another option is to look on http://bidjdm.com too.

[impul535w]

Cheers guys. I'll have to look look at the M35 catalogue to see what they look like not in 16bit.

[bigkevracer]

Let me know how you go. My drivers side is stuffed, was going to get the Nismos.

Last time I checked Just Jap were about the right price.

[impul535w]

I also looked at the Nismos but as there ain't a lot of black in the interior they kinda look funny. Stock would be cooler

[zei20l]

you have a beige RX interior?

ill have a set of beige floormats shortly

[impul535w]

Na grey.

[zei20l]

ahhh ok cool

Going back a page there was mention of the iPod adaptor for the standard OEM deck. The Stagea we've just bought has the single DIN unit in place, but I have a question about the FM radio etc. Would it just be easier to just get a replacement head unit (HU), rather than hop up the factory HU with the iPod adaptor and frequency shifter?

[bigkevracer]

That's what I did. Got a much nicer deck, much more functionality.

Does yours have TV?

[iamhe77]

You will have to dismantle your dash either way, so it is all up what you want.

If you just want to play your iPod, get the PA15-NIS adaptor. If you want to replace your entire head unit, might as well get something decent in there that does everything.
