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.

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:

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
