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.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
