So i've been looking around for some roof racks for my M35 ARX, without much luck. had a search in the forum...no love either.

Has anyone fitted roof racks to their M35? if so - where, how and how much?

I have tried ARB and Roof Rack City (in adelaide) but neither are very willing to help out if it's not in their magic book of standard products.

Only looking to carry a couple of surfboards/snowboards, so no massive loads or anything.

Do roof racks from any other model fit the M35?

I got my racks from Roof Rack City in Artarmon (sydney). They are the importer of Thule into Australia so they will be able to advise you of the best model and where to get it from in SA.

If you have no luck with them send me a PM and I will find the part number for the racks.

Cheers

OMG... I would have sworn that I had posted the part number some where... What I can find are pictures of the part that mounts on the roof and the foot on the bar locks onto it. I used the thule Aero bar but you can use the square bar if you prefer.

Here are the pics. I will call them tomorrow and see if I can get the part number from them.

Hi Guys

I called Thule today and tried to clarify what was available for the M35. The answers are:

* The fit kit I have is no longer available so they have a new solution.

The solution is.

Fit Kit = TK3034

Foot kit = RT753

Aero bar 135cm

Total kit cost is $360 (plus postage if you are interstate)

There is a small amount of modification required to the fit kit to make it fir the M35.

If you are interested in getting this roof rack kit you can phone, Dan @ Roof Rack World on 02 9439 2677.

He knows what our cars are and can set up a set for you and send it out to the guys who are interstate.

This is their site if you want to look at it. http://www.roofrackworld.com.au/

Cheers

Andy

I'll offer you $400NZD. . . what a profit. . lol. . . . .$400NZD should be about $0.55c aussie. . . ha h ah a

I have been searching for racks and found a website in Japanese that has a kit specifically for the NM35, I just cant find anyone that sells the products in Australia. They are RV INNO kit number 271.

The bars are your typical square look.

I have just made an enquiry to an Australian company called RAK, they have telescopic, universal fit racks. Has anyone tried these? The bars on it are a squashed look for aerodynamics and are anodised aluminium from memory. The Kit was $298.

I will keep you posted on fitment.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
