More questions!

What colours do the PM/PNM35s come in? So far I have seen wine red, light silver, black and white.

Is it possible to get one without the integrated stereo dash piece? I intend on just running a dual din head unit later so if I can avoid it I will.

Someone has mentioned that there is a difference in the AWD system between the NM and the PM. Is there someewhere I can read up on this? (have searched)

Is the beige interior in the majority of the PMs? Seems like 95% of them have a brown interior whether it is leather or not. Ugly!

Any other suggestions or things I should look for?

You may find this to be very informative for specs and colours:

Someone else can speak for the AWD differences between the two models but I believe it's basically NM35 = hydraulic engagement of front shaft and PNM35 = electronic engagement.

It's similar to the G35x system. I believe the system is called ATTESA ET-S http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATTESA#ATTESA_E-TS as Hertz mentioned it has a different way of engaging.

The ones I mainly see have the same type of interior as PNmad's. Just plain cloth seats, black/grey. You should be able to score one without the integrated stereo, just gotta look for the ones with panasonic head units in them. correzza?

What has been said about the AWD is correct. It uses an electromagnet to actuate the transfer case, rather than high pressure fluid of the previous models. Means the pumps don't fk out, and you can pull a fuse to turn it rwd.

Interiors vary, there are one beige which is horrible, the Axis had some tan/almost orange kind of leather, the other Axis a two tone black grey leather, and then there is black cloth.

Guilty!! xD, they actually half leather, suede for the pattern part and black leather with red stitching round the edges because fasts. Oh and the interiors have different options, electric and manual with/out airbags the styles differ from each other depending what option the car has (I believe this is the same for normal stagea). MANUAL FOR WINZ.

The normal Axis which has the orange/tan leather kinda grows on you when you see it in person.

I swore I'd never buy a beige interior ever again. That will include oompa lumpa skin orange leather.

Yeah, I know yours is part suede, but didn't get it across. There is also an axis with the over fenders, while yours doesn't have them.

Options just seem to be potluck in these cars.

Axis has the over fenders and orange leather interior

Axis S (which Matt has) does not have over fenders and has the nice semi-leather interior

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
