Hi guys,

I am finishing up converting the front of my NM35 RS to the PM35 Autech 350S but am having a little trouble with the grill.

Basically, getting the complete OEM Autech grill from Nissan Japan would cost me just over $1k (!!!!!!!).... needless to say, it ain't happening.

What I would like to test out is if the NM35 Axis grill will fit (same top clips and bonnet ornament, just not sure if there is a difference in width between the two grills).

So if there are any 2001-2003 M35 Axis owners in Melbourne on here that wouldn't mind me bringing my car to test the grill size, please let me know.

I have a C34 grill.....should fit up OK.....same aren't they?

:(

Couldn't help yourself could you?

Custom stainless grill ftw, to go with the shiny wheels. :(

Dunno man.... with the way you go on about weight saving, wouldn't aluminium be better? :P

Ok, since I have couldn't be stuffed reading through all of the responses from all the Vic Axis owners, can I ask that ANY M35 Axis owner possibly lend a hand and measure the width of the top and bottom of the grill and also the width of the bonnet ornament?

I just replaced all my front end a couple of months ago. I will ring panel beater to see what is left over.

From memory grill was about $700 mark the lights were $2k each.

Some one else's insurance was paying so who cares about shopping around.

Yo what scotty said custom stainless grill FTW organize a group buy I already got the shiney wheels.

Yeah Mark, the prices for the grill assembly are just a tad high I think.

Could you possibly measure across the front of the top and bottom of your grill for me?

I can get an NM Axis grill with bonnet ornament for around $300, but I need to know if it will fit.

Sorry... what? WTF!?! 2K EACH? For the lights? How is that even possible? Were they just skimming some money off the top cos it was an insurance job? I would've figured max 1K each.

Sounds about right.

I call a couple of Nissan dealerships for a price on the series 2 Xenon headlights.... $2.5k each.

No skimming buddy. Two words for you JUST JAP. It was an $8000 repair 1 headlight 1 grill 1 bumper small repair and paint on the bonnet. What ever you do dont crash an axis.

I will measure up for you when the missus gets home this arvo.

Cool, thanks :ninja:

that's exactly what happened to my car when some dick reversed into me. Thank God it's covered by Shannons. 1 headlight, 1 front bar, 1 reo bar, grill, minor repair on the bonnet. All up about $6000 but headlight is not new as there's none from Nissan Japan atm, so I bought Cam's 2nd hand set :ninja:

Btw Cam I got the lights, so thanks!

Ok done measurements for you.

First one is top to bottom vertically straight up the center bar = 175mm

Second measurement is across the top of the grill= 970mm

3rd measurement is the lower length that was hard to measure because of the curve. I measured it across the lower horizontal bar on the grill =850mm

Thanks for that Mark.

Seems that it will not fit as it is ~80mm wider than the Series 2 Axis grill.

Oh well... grill-less for a while longer I guess

Ive got a sheet of ally here with your name all over it, for when you change your mind. :)

You can drill all the holes tho, or laser cut Nismo into it? :devil:

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
