YES

I love my C34, but the NM35 is very nice too, but they're very different cars.

+1 agree on this Nic

If you want to do heaps of motor mod's....then go the C34....I am talking for power above 200AWKW's.....you could probably pick up a fairly decent S1 RS260 for the same price as a good NM35.

I did the Central Coast to Wisemans Ferry run on Sunday night and I can tell you the NM35 is no slouch when it comes to twisty's and bumpy roads. The suspension is a good package for a wagon.....I had an XR6t before this car and it was not nearly as fast or balanced as the NM35 on this road!

its just like any newer model. definitely a more refined ride, but agreed with Jetwreck, if you want heaps of bolt on mods go the C34

it will be good when more people buy them and there are some decent parts available.

its shitty at the moment. hopefully in 2+ years they will be even more popular and more and more aftermarket and parts at wreckers will be available.

On that.....below is a list of Aussie made parts available or in the pipeline that I know about. The Japanese have everything else!

ECU reflash: 90% of the way there...should have something in the next week or so....maybe!

Phenolic and Alloy runner spacers: Available

Exhaust: Sydney local available x 2 shops

Dump pipes: Available

Suction pipe: In the pipeline

Intercooler kits: Available

Currently from what I have seen the highest AWKW's is in some bogan's white wagon down in VIC's....approx 260 from memory....standard internals!

Sooner or later one of the NM35's will break the 300AWKW barrier!

i went mainly on looks. the m35's don't cut it imho.

they look too family car like to me... they might be newer, but is newer better??

in the end the c34 won for me... and the rb25det under my hood :D and the manual transmission :D mmmmm

YES

+1.... as well :D

The only way to know if it's right for YOU is to go and drive one. :)

Could not agree with this more.

(although I DID buy mine over the internet lol)

Shitty at the moment? lol.... you should have been here 3 years ago!

Maybe in NSW... I am sure that the suction pipe can be done down here in Vic if you can drop your car off overnight :D

300awkw? agreed.... maybe if the Vic Bogan had a decent intercooler, exhaust manifold and V Manage he would get close?

I drove both cars before making my decision. Although I think the C34 looks nicer on the outside, the M35 wins hands down on all other attributes. These days you can secure an M35 for under 20 grand easy. What other modern wagons can beat that in terms of value, performance and features?

Vic Bogan? Let me just tell you Craig, it takes one to know one. :D

Seat of pants tells me I cracked that 300 barrier last week, which you would know about if camping wasn't more important. :D I had to revert back to elec throttle as I couldn't handle the powahh. The potential is there, for sure, but the longevity of the internals is unknown.

The gearbox is coming out again next week, hopefully addressing the converter lockup issues I was having with the extra kw. I will let you know once I understand more.

Although there are a few teething issues with getting the power out, I still prefer the 35.

I agree with everyone else - only you can decide. I got a bargain with my M35, came up at auction in japan only $3000 AUD equiv more than the average C34's, so I jumped at the chance to own a newer car (2003 model). Originally I disliked the looks until I saw one "in the flesh" up close - from then on I was completely hooked.

Read the 1st post in the "M35 Info" sticky for all the details on the M35.

I'm assuming the M35's looks dont bother you if you are considering it...so really its just down to the ride quality. I say its better, in the sense that it hides bumps better, but it may be a touch softer than the C34 and gives the car less of a sporty feel and more of a luxury feel.

So really its up to you to drive both, and work out if you like what Nissan have done with the M35. I'll admit I took a while to warm to some things about the M35, having owned a modified s2 for 2 years, but now I wouldn't swap it for anything.

buy 1 of each thats what we did

yea i was lookin at a axis thats why i was saying 8 to 10k more. i gotta travel from adelaide to mt gambier every fortnight to see my son so more lookin for ride quality than "powahh" lol ill search for that when i start get a track car together but yea i really like the looks of the axis models. not as keen on the others.

will agree the c34's do look more sporty. gonna go take the one im lookin at for a test drive near end of the week. other than that they got a c34 rwd manual with a little bit of fruit at the place im lookin at so might take that one for a drive too. thanks guys ill let ya know how i get on after the drive

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
