What Options Did Your M35 Come With

[zei20l]

i believe chris rogers looked into it, i think 'extremely difficult' is probably being nice. sucks tho because its a cool toy to have

[iamhe77]

I got auto folding mirrors......

and an ioniser, that we pulled out after 5 minutes of ownership..

Momo half wood steering wheel, wood trim centre console, Panasonic sat/nav, that is circa 2003, in a 2001 car, wind deflectors, including rear one on boot, also number plate trims that are now stored in the boot, as a VIC numberplate is too wide to use it...

and the usual non funtioning 6-disc CD with ER0 message...

Still love it...

Didn't take you long to post after picking it up mate!

You free on Sunday? Would love to come and have a look-see.

Missus happy?

Interested in letting go of that Ioniser?

I also got 4 little blue lights that shine up from the pilars at night they look really cool and does anyone have the silver buttons with the red triangle. there is one on the driver door you just tap it with your finger and the window goes down about 5mm each time and there is one for emergency blinkers

My wife has the 2002 NM35, It has some snow package so it only has one reverse light the other is a fog light. The snow control is down by the shifter I think it also turns on heated mirrors outside. It has inteligent cruise control (buttons located on right coloum of steering wheel), dual sun roofs, It also has a remote by the cup holders that turn either or both of the front cameras on viewed on the pop up screen while parking. It was also fitted with mats and sunoof and window wind shields.

that makes two cars I had read about now.

I want your chassis number

want to do a parts list up for this

though I have a feeling mine will probably work out cheaper.

[Tommy Kaira RL]

chassis no is 6U90000NM35309181

It will be interesting to see what you find out

[zei20l]

he means the japanese one not the aussie one, its on the silver square plate to the left of the engine. thats the long silver aussie chassis number.

[Chris Rogers]

thats ok - the correct numbers are in that anyway.

I'll dig up what I need when I have a sec and I'll add PNs to it.

[iamhe77]

The Japanese one is NM35-309181.

The only difference is that all imports have the 6U90000 added once complied

ohh really? well, you learn something new every day. today i learnt that drugs are bad, mkay

My ARX had the safety pack, which is 6 air bags including side curtin and center rear lap sash seat belt.

Plus the TV, and Navi option.

andy what year is your arx? they get good stars in side, full frontal and offset -- but the safety package would be brilliant...

It is 03/03.

The safety pack is great with kids as it has the extra full lap sash seat belt for the center seat.

I almost got to find out how safe it is, as a car last night did not give way to me in a round about and almost took the front end off the car.

to give a better idea, the JNCAP rating for the M35 stagea is 4 stars for the driver and 5 for passengers I believe. JNCAP ratings are out of a total of 6.

The rating methodology is also different between different countries and the rules also change with time as more and more safety features are expected to become standard equipment on cars, so its probably not possible to compare directly to ANCAP ratings...

However, ANCAP ratings are out of a total of 5. This puts the stagea at about 4 stars. Still a good result, especially when compared to other wagons of the same year. For example all Ford Falcons up to (but not including) the current model were 4 stars. The holden commodore including the VE is also 4 stars.

What it means though is that even with 4 stars, the stagea is going to offer a pretty good level of safety in a collision. To get 5 points it would likely need side curtain airbags and some fancy buzzwords after the title (ie. ESP etc).

[iamhe77]

...and yet, oddly enough, the PM35 has a 6 star JNCAP safety rating.

I suppose that curtain airbags would be the difference.
