Got One!

[Sage222]

Just wanted to thank everyone for the great information found here on M35's without your info i wouldnt have bought one.

Just put down my deposit yesterday while they finish compliancing.

2003 M35 250t RS Autech

80,000k's

Aftermarket Alarm

Aftermarket TV/SatNAV/DVD Player. (Its a AVIC-XH9 all in japanese would love if someone had some info on this!) I am hoping if i cant get it converted to English i could at least replace the feed and keep the LCD).

The didnt come with cruise control which is unfortunate can anyone recommend a place in melbourne?

A couple of pics attached.

Congrats, very nice purchase!!

[ironpaw]

import factory in Nunawading right? Looks familiar.

Car looks exactly like mine except for the front...still waiting for my aero front bar....

AVIC - sounds like a Pioneer product...if it is I'd head over to avic411.com and see if anyone's done a conversion.

[Son Gokou]

For Cruise Control contact Chris Roger and you can get Adam from stylyn car audio to fitted the cruise control.

[Grungle]

I've got a similar stereo/TV setup in mine.

I have contacted Pioneer directly, and they say there's nothing they can do about a conversion.

I'll check what model it is when i get home.

Looks like a nice purchase

Any pics of the interior by any chance?

btw, it isn't an Autech.

[Chris Rogers]

cruise - call me.

AVIC = BIN.

[Sage222]

haha yes i thought the same Chris If i am lucky i will get to reuse the screen.

Ironpaw yup Import Factory. Thatnks for the link for AVIC411 will check it out.

Iamhe77 why isnt it an autech? (body kit looks right and it has the badge - though honestly i wouldnt know).

pic of interior attached.

[zei20l]

You have an aero front bar, but not the entire kit.

still looks the goods tho

the autech badge is becoming a mystery! it appears on aero models, but from what we can tell, only the AXIS model was done by autech.

[Chris Rogers]

give me a chassis number and I'll tell you if its at autech or not.

[iamhe77]

Iamhe77 why isnt it an autech? (body kit looks right and it has the badge - though honestly i wouldnt know).

Sorry man, it has an Nissan "Aero" front bumper and the rest of the bodywork is pure RS.... plus the badge on the back says "RS"

An Autech Axis (that is what they're called) has a very different front bumper, grill, bonnet ornament, rear bumper, 18" wheels, Autech suspension and colour coded ARX type flared guards as you can see below

As you can see on the rear shot, an Autech has an "Axis" badge, certainly not an RS badge.

Hi Sage,

Import factory is doing my compliance! You might have seen my Axis Autech parked over there. Your car looks pretty clean!

Congrats on the purchase.

[Sage222]

Chassis number is 6u90000nm35318643

'u' could be an 'a' (handwriting).

So the later models have colour coded skirts and rear bumber? (i saw alot where these where all dark grey).

I was aware there is an AXIS AUTECH that looks like the pics above.. though i thought there was a AUTECH non axis as well that didnt have those features..

Either way i would have bought it regardless.

So mine is all factory body except for the front air dam?

thanks WHT510.. you too! you bloody following me round or wot?? same cars in the past now the present.. same dealer!

yeah i think i saw yours.. black leather and aftermarket brembos?

The one I picked up has the aero selection kit which looks like yours (except for the front bar - I have the standard front bar...for now ). I also got the Autech sticker on the boot and the "tuned by autech" sticker above the glove box. Don't ask me why/how...

Who did you deal with at ImportFactory? Did they go down much in price? I was looking at a JZX100 there a few weeks ago...

At least you got colour coded door strips...I really want to replace mine! Probably would be $$$$$ though...

yup lacking the aero front bar. unfortunately probably damaged in transit so they put a stocker on!

Well, f**k me! It IS an Autech

My apologies mate, I have never seen an Autech model without the bodykit & wheels before

lol... nearly 4 years of ownership and still learning

I wonder what on earth they (Autech) did to it

Buggered if I know, interior and exterior are pure RS.... maybe it has Autech suspension?
