with the rims. did you have any other issues at all? cleared the brakes fine etc?

trying to find some low offset rims myself atm im just going the space out the ones i have now thou:D

im running 15mm bolt on spacers... but pretty sure the rims clear the calipers any way, just need to get a gaurd roller on the gaurds to make some room

WOW mate! She just gets better and better!

I have been in NZ for 3 weeks and am AMAZED at the amount of M35s I have seen! Where abouts are you? I was staying at my sisters in Remuera in Auckland. Now on the South Island.

im in hamilton which is about 90mins south of auckland, M35's are cheap as chips here.... can pick a standy non turbo one up for $7000

Hey Chasey sweet looking ride. I'm looking for an Aero front bar, they really suit the M35 and yours just sealed it for me.

And yeah there are heaps of M35's around now, prices are good and they're alot of car.

Auckland prices range from about 8k at the bottom (high km) to about 16k for low km top of range. Even a few 3.5's available now.

Hey guys, im new to the forum but thought id post up some pics of my RS4 turbo M35. Im in NZ but running euro plates.

Running 19x10 AME rims at +5 offset, silk road coil overs, raiser exhaust.

X-member sits at 38mm from the ground.... suspension can go lower but as you can see its hard for the body to drop any more, also top arms hit on the body at this height.

i like the look of it, but sheesh, 38mm to the x/member - has to be borderline undriveable......

might have to start looking at some bash plates to protect any important bits. if you're on stancenation i'm sure you would have seen all the images of oil pans that have scraped through!

i used to think i was bad a$$ with 60mm of clearance on my LS400.....got sick of not being able to drive it anywhere and the sound of UCA's trying to punch out of the strut towers tho...i must be getting old huh.....

nah the sump is all tucked up... the only part that touches the road at times is the engine X member... i drive this thing every day like this, clocked up about 25,000km at this height. just get to know what roads you can go down and which ones to avoid.

Ive moved to gold coast now but still have the stagea back in NZ if any one is keen to buy it

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
