Hi guys, I've just bought a bare Aero front bar for my Stag, and was looking to buy the plastic Spotlight Blanking Plates in the aperture of the bar from Nissan.

The problem is; The version of FAST my local dealer has, doesn't list any part numbers for the aero kit. My Nissan guy suggested it might be bacause it's an acessory option, and these don't appear on their system.

Can anyone find the Aero pieces on a different version of FAST? And if yes, can you tell me what the part numbers for the blanking plates are?

Cheers, Dale.

Chris, it's not a Nismo option. There was a Nismo option bar, but this is just the "Aero Selection" part. Basically, the bar came with driving lights or without, there were just simple black blanking plates. I'm assuming the lights will be heartstoppingly expensive, so I'd rather go with the blanking plates.

A couple of the guys have posted up catalogues, and I've just found the relevant catalogue; http://www.skylinesa..._1#entry4911158

Is there enough info in those two pics to get an idea?

Cheers, Dale.

sorry for hacking your thread

But if I want an Axis front bar + grill for my ARX - Do I need to change my bonnet?

No, but you will need the chrome decoration on the indent in the bonnet, above the grille aperture.

My Euro has that chrome thing on the bonnet - and the bonnet have that indent to clip this chrome

so basically I need to look for an AXIS bonnet then? cause how will I clip/install the chrome garnish?

Good call, I assumed the bonnet was the same; didn't even know there was a different one for S1 m35s, just with a strip to hide the indent.

Looks like we need an AXIS owner to weigh in...

Since I now have an M35 with an aero bar, I don't suppose the numbers are printed on it?

I don't have blanking plates though but the foggies are just Cibie, I would think they're a standard size?

If you feel like having a look that'd be great! What's the bet any part number is blocked by the Reo...:whistling:

Perhaps running the VIN from a car with the Aero Selection Bar/Kit through FAST will reveal the part number? I don't really know if FAST works that way.

I may end up having to make something, I guess time will tell.

I have the original m35 parts book at home and know it includes part numbers for options as well. Will check it out for you but won't be able to until tomorrow. I posted the scans of the brochures as you showed above and also have some other paperwork m35 option related, so I'll see what I can find for you

I have also heard the foglights are identical to Nissan cube however have not confirmed. May be worth a yahoo jp search to see if this is correct or if I had the part number for the cube foggies could cross reference it to the M35 aero ones.

Will see what I can find.

Well I can help with that too, if you want I can give you my VIN to put through FAST?

Rear Aero bar is a bitch to clean though, the little 'shelf' on the back bumper is annoying!

Very interesting points you make.:thumbsup:

Thanks to both of you fella's, really appreciate the help!:worship:

K6020-AQ003 is the number for the front bar, but it looks like the plates etc are "all in one" with the front bar and ducts (section F20-001 if your Nissan guy needs to know)

Sorry for hacking again

real quick question

so If I want to change my front bar ARX to an AXIS - can I just leave the grill stock? or Do I need to change grill to fit it in?

Is this straight bolt on?

Different Grille, different aperture shape in AXIS bar.

Looks like I've hit a wall.:/

I used all the numbers that everyone has kindly given, and my parts guy Chris, at Nepean Motor Group, has turned out to be quite the FAST guru! The system seems to be just menus, hidden inside menus, hidden inside menus...

The numbers did eventually lead us somewhere.

We were able to track the Aero Bar to the point where a complete bar could be ordered ($2500!) but we weren't able to find a breakdown of the individual parts that make up the bar. It also din't show the optional driving lights in the front bar. It also appear that when you order the bar it comes colour matched.

The biggest issue that stopped us in the end, was the language barrier. There's a lot of japanese text that could possibly provide more info, but we simply didn't know.

So unless I can find the bits somehow on Yahoo auctions or IM, I think this ride is over.

And if you have one; TAKE CARE OF IT!

Thanks again to everyone for you assistance :thumbsup: .

Cheers, Dale.

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
