Wondering if anyone has done a manual conversion in a series 2 PNM35 stagea? By the looks of it, it shouldn't be to hard. I presume you'd be able to source all the parts from a 350z. Any info would be appreciated. Cheers

PM35 (RWD) would be simpler, Autech made manual M35s, called the 350S, by mating a PM35 and a 350Z. I want one, badly.

80% correct.

The 350S was actually based off a Series one car, not a PM35.

Yes, I guess doing a PM35 would be the easiest car of the range to manualise. Don't know how easy until you compare everything, but look for a manual 1/2 cut of a series 2 V35. You'll need the extra pedal and all that stuff, the interior pieces too. Sell the motor off.

Post build thread!

Will definitely be posting a build thread if it goes ahead, still have to finish my current projects before starting anything else. I have a HKS turbo kit to install aswell as a full airrex and accuair air suspension setup

I would be very interested ina build thread for the manual conversion.

It's still on my most wanted (along with many other people i imagine) for my M35... RWD 6 speed /droooooool

I have money!!! Just no workshop, tools or previous expirence :whistling:

If you have money and want the ultimate, I hear murcury motorsport in qld have a getrag manual box custom made to fit an m35. Proper manual awd. .. sexual

I have spoken to Mercury.

They ended up staying auto as thier customer wanted to hit the thing with more boost / more power and an auto set up suited thier needs better. I'm not that interested in staying AWD to be honest.

As far as wanting the ultimate... RWD 6 speed, stand alone ECU wired up and then screw a bit more boost into the thing.

Street driven RWD M35 with a responsive-ish 300 kw's (give or take... E85 of course). This would be my goal and i know many before me who have wanted the manual dream have made a decision (for whatever reason) to no go through with it. I still hold hope for more development to make this a reality for me at least. Money is rarely my issue but being happy with the money i spend to achieve a result... thats a different story :yes:

Weird they post a picture ages ago with the getrag box fitted up.

But yeah manual would be nice. Unfortunately the Mrs has no desire to drive/learn manual so mine will always stay auto as she drives it a bit.

That being said I would want it awd manual. I love the awd system in our cars. Almost the best of both worlds. Still enough rear slip to slip the back out a bit. But with the awesome control and safety that awd offers

Yeah i rang them re: what they used for the getrag set up and the bloke told me they ended up staying AWD auto.

I love my M35. From the lines of the body to the newly fitted GTR seats but it really needs the manual for me to feel right. My Mrs has no desire to drive it so it's all about me!! :P

AWD seems to bring more issues when converting to manual and i'm more than happy to go RWD. It will take me back to my golden years of driving my R33 and R32 GTS-t's :yes:

Any information i can gather than might be of use i'll spread around for sure

One manualised here used an adapter plate for a Toyota gearbox and a wire in Link.

I beg to differ on this point; Mercury carved up the floor in the car to fit the Hybrid R33 GTR.

You don't just "Change your mind" after that.

As for more power; I call bullshit.

I don't believe the car was ever finished, and if it was; NO ONE has ever seen it.

For every incredible build that they do; there seems to be 4 stories just like this one, and the owner just giggles like a schoolgirl , and says everything is "secret".

If it was done; they would want to show it off. My gut doesn't trust them at all.

I would be delighted to be proven wrong, but the silence on this "Build" has been deafening.

I don't really disagree...

I saw all the pictures on facebook of the build photo's which was why i spoke to them months ago. The above is what i was told. I agree that if the thing was a success there would be pictures or some kind of vids showing it off.

I wish you luck with yours Beau; you've made a nice start, and I think your goals are quite achievable, especially if you have $$$ to spend.

Cheers Dale, the M35 is my main focus for at least the rest of this year so we'll see how i go. Next year i'll be back to house building again so i'd like to get any big jobs done so then it's just maintenance i need to worry about. ;)

PM Kinkstah about his auto setup. his spent big coin on his auto. shift kit, TCU tune, full paddle-shift setup. loves it. handles 400rwkw with no slip (apparently)

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
