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

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
