They are easily double the money of any NM35, and you can't comply them. So unless you put up the money to go through all the compliance work- its not going to happen. I wouldn't want to go to that interior anyway. Wish they made it off the series 2.

Scotty- Aren't they the same as any V35 series one manual? how does the length of the box match up between a V35 manual, and a R33 or R34 GTR box? You might buy it only to find out it doesn't fit!pinch.gif

Thats to the US mate.

Estimates I've seen here is low 30s to mid 40s + 50k to 60k as I understand to get compliance for a model.

Thats a lot of manual conversions....buy a series 2- Get a V35 pedal box and gearbox, job done.

Suppose you know what grill you bought now...

I only placed a bid on the pedal set. I had the same thought about the console, better to mod the one I have I think.

wow i do love those seats too. i was thinking they would be in like mid range 30's from your post pn-mad, for 16k if they could get complied id jump on it.

Thats to the US mate.

Actually that is the price of the car off the lot (Goo-net display cars that are for sale via dealerships). Then you have to pay transport in Japan, shipping here, customs, GST etc, transport to compliance shop IF you can find one that wants to get the compliance plates for the 350S (good luck).

Prob add another $8k on top. Much, much more than that if you have to pay for the testing/evidence/emissions etc.

Same seats are in the PM35 Axis S so easy to come by

so why is it that a compliance shop doesn't do the testing etc. surely within our circle there is a big demand for manual m35's. one would think they would make that money back quite quickly, or is it some insanely high price for that particular model for some reason??

They would normally, but it would be extremely difficult for them to make their money back on the 350S due to how rare the car was and I wouldn't think that many would be willing to fork over, say $40k+ for a 2003 Stagea.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
