This is f**king hot...

I guess that front bar's pretty rare?

that is hot but is not a masasports one might be custom

WTF dude? We know its not a masasports one...Its Nismo!

are you talking about the front bar or bonnet , so you reckon thats a nismo bonnet then ?

im talking about the bonnet

if so please post a link to that bonnet on a nismo site .......

At no point did you mention the bonnet when you were lamenting about how hot it looks, Dust.

So again, just to summarise for yourself (As everyone else is alreayd on the same page)

Front bar = Nismo

Bonnet = Masasports

Bonnet MAY be the now defunct Dolphin item.

I have emailed RHD for a clear picture of the NM35 and PM35 Masa bonnet and will post here if I receive said pic.

I assumed the Masa image on RHD was a stock image; they say they stock bonnets for a bunch of models - so I figured the venting pattern may well be different for the Stag compared ot the image.

Now that you mention Dolphin, I do recall seeing one on their site - but yeah, that was discontinued yeaaaaaars ago :(

Yep same, which is why I requested a picture of the NM and PM bonnets.

The rims are 19x8.5 +22 Enkie GTC01

But thats too skinny, I ordered them online before anyone had done any real experimenting and wanted to be safe. We have worked out with my brothers M35 that 9.5 +35/30 is the ideal fitment - no scrubbing and no rolling necessary.

Although if I were to do it all again I would probably to a little flair/roll and run 9.5 +22

Its only the fronts that are an issue, you can easily fit 11" on the back! haha

What rubber did you end up getting?

I'm ordering wheels, same specs as yours (different brand). Thinking a 235/40-19 would fit the best. Thoughts?

Check http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp

235 is a rare width I think.

245 is more common.

yeah 225 and 245 are more common. I remember the Tyre guy telling me that the only car they can think of with 235 was the M3 so there arent any cheap options.

245 looks a bit big on 8.5J

Here is another pic of the tyre and fitment.

the blue stag seems to be a rare colour compared to all the other colours they come in

mine is identicle colour and body style as this but with a nice wing and nsimo wedin i think its called exhaust

also undecided to black the headlights out

as the black loks awsome on the stagea expecially on the silver or white cars

yet with the blue colour im not sure as you need oposing colours light and dark so darker car means maybe keep silver lights to macth grill , still not sure

Cam - you are correct. Bonnet is a very rare Freeway - Dolphin item. If anyone finds one - i'll take it!!

Scroll down and there is a small picture of it.

ye but bonnet = masasport isnt on there website they just have the twin vented bonnet

As above. Bonnet is Dolphin...

Ive watched YAJ for over a year now; havent seen one come up yet.. and I'll be bidding on it rather than palming it off sorry mate :P

Might make some enquiries... :whistling: Would hate to start a bdding war when one comes up....

Love the Dolphin stuff!!

Presuming this thread is simply a gallery of M35's

Was sent these by a friend in Japan.

SLAMMED!!!!! >_<

how are these guys running different widths?

I thought everything goes to shit for the 4wd.

What makes you think that its an NM35? Doesn't look like the guy was really after performance over stance!

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
