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.

    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
    • +1 for Jesse Streeter. Over the years I have got a bunch of stuff from him (usually wheels, but other parts like aftermarket braces and coolers). He was very good with shipping things to Australia. He may be able to send to other countries.
