I've just bought a M35 pearl white with an aero kit and I love it! Mine has twin sunroofs, aero kit, tv and single din stereo. If I had my time again Im not sure Id change anything.

Speak to Brad about the language conversion. I think its pretty cheap and will be doing mine soon. Commsman does the HDTV tuners cheap, only issue is the DVD player. Im trying to get DVD/aux out/ipod control/bluetooth in one unit, and so far Ive found a JVC AVX77 that does all that, and a couple of Philips units that apparently the bluetooth is average on. Ive been surprised how good the standard speakers are and have no plans to change them any time soon.

Im pricing up 18s at the moment just because i want some sidewall. Bought a N14 SSS once and it had low profile tyres and I hated it with a passion. Dont want to ruin what is so far proving to be a great car.

Plenty of info and help on here if you search. People are happy to answer questions and help out, and its really interesting if you search, and find some threads from when the M35 first got here and everyone had to work it out themselves. Some great stuff.

Edit: Youre welcome to come have a look at mine if itll help. Im at Prospect.

Nice, sounds like you bought exactly what we are after. We are looking for either silver, black or white with the same specs as yours, except we arent too keen on sunroofs.

What width and offset are you looking at going? I might take you up on the offer to look at it as Im just over in Hillcrest.

Cheers

I wanted a light colour. I saw a great black M35 when I was looking around, think it had everything I wanted + leather and Bose, but I really didn't want black. In hindsight I'm glad I didn't get the Bose option, just wanted the spare wheel well mounted Sub :P

SA Motorsport Tyres are a customer of mine, and were going to set me up with some custom Braid wheels. Kind of liked the idea of the white multispokes on the white M35, something a bit different. Just checked my email and I just asked for comparative prices on 18s and 19s. I'll go 19s if I can get enough sidewall to maintain comfort.

PM me if you want to have a look.

Im at Prospect.

i was there yesterday for a wedding shoot. did you see me?

i have one i MIGHT not be using if youre interested?

Heres mine as it sits now....

-18inch rims (think its from a v35 or a g35)

--30mm spacers all round (tyres were scraping like f**k. so i rolled my guards. its perfect now no scrapage at all!!!)

-Blacked out some of the grill

-Vinyl blacked the roof.. (honestly i think this makes my car, i dont know anyone else thats did this to their car, and honestly i think its a must on these stags esp if its a lighter coloured car. it just finishes so well. and gives it a bit of a modified look)

-Blacked out the headlights (this was naturally 2nd inline after the roof. it is f**king hard to do, (i didnt use an oven... i dunno freaks me out putting expensive headlights in to an oven.... it just took about 5 hours and alot of patience... so many times i was so close to just grabbing the headlights and smashing them on the ground out of just pure rage lol... but it payed off thankfully nothing broke/cracked and its all sealed up nicely)

-Series 2 side mirrors (with the indicator on the outside)

The only thing this dosent have is a sunroof... i imported this car myself (with my uncle) and i was the one scouring uss auctions to find the perfect stag for me. i waited 3 months.. looking for one with sunroofs, and initially i wanted black... after awhile got sick of waiting and my uncle told me about this one... to be honest i wasnt happy when i got pics sent to me. but every time i look at my car i love it!

it was a 4.5 grade auction and has 88 thousand kms right now! Ive got the declaration papers from the japanese government with all the details so i know its legit kms!

i did pay a bit more for this car compared to what you can get, but peace of mind is important!

Its got the bose factory system in it, ive got the touch screen translated to english...

oh and the factory BOSE sub.. (thats in the spare wheel) is f**king epic for the size of it!!!! succhhhh a crisp clear sound!!!!

kenstyle coilovers (ive can still go alot lower, but with 18inch rims its tooooo low scrapes on everything)

Apexi exhaust (took the big ass muffler thing out and put a straight pipe there. still has the cats. and its not too loud. just gotta make up a dump pipe for it!)

Plenum spacer

now all i gotta do is just install my window weather shields. and thats it

i agree with you on MINIMUM 19inch rim needs to be on these cars...

i havent gone to crazy with the styling, just subtle things. im very happy with it...

the only other thing i want to do is put a front mount, and finish my custom exhaust ( want to go 2 sets of twins, so left and right)

if i get the time ill do it, but if i sell if before hand when ah well... oh and ive taken the front nissan badge off, just so when ppl go infront of me and try and find out what make the car is. they have no idea!!! lol

no problems dude, i dont have sunroofs so its just solid black all the way. i took of the black strips and let the vinyl overhang in to those bits and put the strips back on so it looks pro!

lemmie know what you exactly want pics of and ill sort it out. but via pm. lets not hijack the thread lol

I LIKE IT !!

what you use to crack the headlights open with ?

no problems dude, i dont have sunroofs so its just solid black all the way. i took of the black strips and let the vinyl overhang in to those bits and put the strips back on so it looks pro!

lemmie know what you exactly want pics of and ill sort it out. but via pm. lets not hijack the thread lol

so the black strips come off easily enough?

i rekon my car has had a respray, all except the roof! which is in shit condition. hmmm black bonnet and black roof............

ye there is a company in japan that does carbon bonnets for the nm35 http://model.auto-style.jp/m35stagia/bar/

http://www.automotivelightstore.com/customlightingstore-hidkit.aspx do mean halo demon eye kits thay said 395 per headlight for full hid lights demon eyes and custom black inside light colour

dont need a carbon bonnet, the aluminium one is pretty light to begin with.

id only go carbon if it had enough space to get a plenum spacer and a strut brace under there

lol... PM conversion?

Can definitely fit both in there :)

SIDIUS - thanks dude!!!... the headlights were cracked open with. 4 screw drivers (all flatheads from 1 thin one to a really fat one, 1 thin stanley knife and a f**k load of patience.. and almost tears hahaha.

The carbon is okay. but zei201 is right. ally one is light enough. just carbon wrap it!

contact charles86 on this forum, he is the guy i get my carbon wrap from and its good 3m stuff! i was going to carbon wrap my roof, but its not a race car so.. thought it would be weird!

zei201 - the black strips are easy as to take off. just unclip the bits where a roof rack would go... and then just jimmy the rest up... they arnt flimsy you can be rough with it!!!

I got the vinyl from a friend thats a graphic designer. also co-owns JAP WAREHOUSE in tullamarine.

call up and ask for KENZ. tell him you saw my car and ask if he can quote you on the vinyl... (me and him put it on together but im not sure if he is willing to do it again for anyone else)

its the very best stuff. its what they use on thier drift car and the same shit thats on most of the v8 super cars... its tough as f**k, hasnt faded yet AND the best part it can even withstand being cut and polished!!!

i was looking at the car today, theres a few more things i will attempt to make look good haha. but it could all go very very wrong!

Hey there... Thats a sweet looking ride you have... Im looking at buying an M35, question. Have you had any problems with it??? So far from what Im hearing is they are pretty faultless... As I do high km's anywhere from 600 to 1200km's a week Whats the average fuel economy like??? Thanks

turbo will die, no doubt about it. its just a matter of when.

economy isnt the best, if youre doing highway driving then it should be pretty good!

ARX will probably use a little more fuel due to the 100-150kg of extra weight.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
