Difference between C35 and C34 ?

[Yotis]

Hello all,

Just wondering what is the difference between the C34 and C35? The only noticable change I can see is the engine its type, triptronic gears, different external styling. Does anyone know more?

Or if you have a url that compares the two would be great too..

Last questions is has anyone attempted putting a half cut C35 into a C34 ? Can it be done? If so what type of difficulty would there likely to be?

Cheers,

What is a C35?

I like the newer looking style of the M35, especially with the a nice kit. Yes, styling and engine are different...they use a VQ25DD, VQ25DET and VQ30DD, all are 5AT.

And for those who want a manual there is the limited Autech Axis 350S uses a VQ35DE with a 6MT.

Why bother swapping, unless you want the VQ25DET!

[Yotis]

Oh apologies.. M35.. hehhe I meant..

Are the M35 auto's triptronic styled?

[Evo_Lee]

indeed they are...

[Yotis]

Damn.. I love the new interior and the triptronic gearboxes... Wished SEVs would hurry up and start approving imports for M35s

Is what we want to bring in, cant for 18 months after manufacture then we have to wait for price to be low enough that people will hand the money over.

You also have to look at how many come up at the auctions when deciding what to do.

It is SEVS eligabe but somebody has to apply for it to be on the list.

After EVO 6,7 and 8, IS 200 wagon 3 litre 4WD and the campers V35 Skyline the NM35 may be looked at, it cost's so much to get compliance on models you will sell it takes a big set of balls to do a car that hasent tested the water.

Look why would you do the PRIUS when a battery costs $7000, a lot goes into deciding what to do.

I understand there is a workshop in Sydney seriously looking at the M35 atm.

I want it on our list but you dont want too many cars as $1,500 per model per year to DOTRS and evidence costs for each model.

You want to do 20 to 25 of each model to make worth while so you may do only 4 models so you have to look at what is long term and give best return with out having to charge $7,000 plus for compliance.

I dont have a family I just wanted something different and a car that is easy to hot up.

I also know the people that own www.gearbox-racing.com and I want a street version set of the gears in a manual box.
