Looks awesome mate :)

I love the interiors of the pnm35's.

Feel much different from the nm35?

I have only drove it for about 40 minutes down the highway but it seems alot smoother than my nm35, Could be because my nm35 has lowered springs not sure, The motors dont seem as quick as the turbo's but i also haven't given it any shit yet, Cant wait to get the mods on the go!

Congrats, I thought I was buying a PM35 when I first picked up my car but was surprised to see the little "FOUR" badge on the back as well. I was a little undecided whether I liked having the 4WD or not, until I had to make a full-blooded right-turn entry into heavy traffic and there wasn't a single chirp from any tyres.

Jealous of your sunroof though, I have none. :(

look hot, very hot.

what direction are you planning to take the modifications?

Cheers bud, I wont be going to serious, Just the usual mainly.

First off will be a set of TEIN coilovers, Then a set of white WORK XD9's, Have got a full roof sticker bomb wrap coming for something different, Chuck on an exhaust, Give her a tune and then maybe abit more power but not sure whats the go with power making on these yet.

Also anyone have any ideas on whose making eye lids for these, these days ?

Thanks guys!

Lost me at sticker bomb.....

Anyway, power wise, leave the intake alone, you can add a plenum spacer, and that's about all it needs. Get rid of the stock cats, and fit exhaust. If you can, get some manifolds,but its a lot of ass pain for not a lot of gain. Uprev tune. Transgo kit. Ext cooler, mishimoto rad, sway bars and links, and bushes.

K go.

im on it! Cheers for the advice :)

Be careful with the coil overs too. You don't want to make it stiff. It will handle a lot better without super stiff springs. Nismo items are awesome, see if you can replicate the rates. I forget what they are.

Very nice car.. First time I've seen one of these..

Haha my mate just walked past as I was scrolling through the photos and said "What a sick looking Holden..." Omg hahaha

Don't worry, I set him straight :P

to the "nice looking volvo thread"

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
