Who's After An M35 Axis In

[mxfly]

Up for auction tomorrow is a 2004 PNM35 with 43,000kms, 3.5L na in Manual. Very hard to find in this form. I wonder how much she will go for? Who wants a guesstimate?

She is starting at 1,150,000 yen.

Wow, that is really nice.

I'm curious to see how much it goes for...

Be awesome having an M35 in a manual haha

[andy65b]

that would be very niceeeeeee....

I'd love to upgrade to that Axis, but my missus can't drive a manual for peanuts so I'm stuck with autos for a family car.

Ok my guess with the bidding is 1,500,000 yen

[3PointJ]

Ha, that sucks big time.

I would like to upgrade, but I've only owned mine for a week...

a manual M35 with the VQ25 turbo would be far better imo

[pistol-pete]

you may be right but let me know when you find one........... you will have found the proverbial "hens tooth"

weird, it doesnt have the later model front end like a PM35 SHOULD have.................

good pick up Iain,,, It has the Pokemon eye's........

That dash does not look quite right for a PM35 either.......

This subject was brought up a few months back regarding a manual M35 3.5 n/a version hitting our shores. I am converting my C34 to manual after my kit goes on, relatively simple. After reading further of the hassles with the bellhousing and other complications my mind was made up.

Now im more interested in M35s. And Volvo 850R T-5R wagons, lol.

Good pickups Ian and Andy! I didnt even take note of those things but it does look like a series I car with some series II bits added on such as seats and transmission. Interesting...

And what's that giant clitoris where the screen is normally positioned? haha

LMAO... Perfect description.

Maybe some kind of bracket for a screen? There is some cable hanging there also..

did you not all see the manual m35 with a vq30det in it in NZ lat month . had a supra box. 260kw at the wheels

[lachlanw]

f**k that whole centre console is ugly . is the handbrake supposed to be there?

[zei20l]

of course its supposed to be there, where else is it supposed to go?? it COULD be a G35 console and thats why the handbrake is over that side. i havent seen inside enough V35 manuals to see if the handbrake is on the right or left.

on autos there is a 3rd pedal that does the hand brake's job

It looks like a transplant from the V35. And yes that is the standard location for the handbrake.

[mxfly]

you guys are right, the more i see it the more it's a conversion.

[Jetwreck]

it could be a diesel......they cam in manual 2WD.....I very much doubt its a VQ25DET....I know I tripped over one when I was bidding a couple of years ago.
