    Ah yes, the stock brakes are a bit... meh. Whilst Brembos are great, don't necessarily limit your search to them. 4 piston Sumitomo's are a cheaper option which work very well. R34 Skyline will bolt on (with a little dust shield grinding). There are heaps of Brake mod threads on here, definitely do your research. There's an examples available on FB Marketplace: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3161399493884748 I don't mind dropping my jerky website at all! Not sure if there are rules on promoting your small biz or not, but check us out: www.bcjerky.com.au Use discount code LOYALLOCAL for free shipping ? P.S. Front bar is looking mint. I have to pick up my hand waving game to match yours - arm out the window hah

    Check out MRC Dyno in Seven Hills, Tucks Rd. The owner, Mark, is a champion. Heaps of awesome JDM cars there, they definitely know their stuff. Fully itemised invoices etc. My small business provides them with beef jerky Highly recommend. Plus, one of their mechanics (Adam) has owned 3 or 4 M35's previously, so knows his way around. Ahh fair ah no worries, chuck us a wave if you see me still when you're on the bike haha.

    YES - that's the one! Nice to e-meet you haha. Your stag looks very, very tidy. Haven't seen you for a while, I've been running a bit late (every damn morning). I don't know about fast, but I've recently had a whole lot of work done on my stagea including replacing cam sensors, fixing engine oil leak and turbo leak, new 'flowing' exhaust - finally my car is running as it should. Feels completely different to drive, more usable torque and powaah. Yep I see way more c34's on the rd around where we drive - do you see the silver (or maybe white..?) c34 on Sunnyholt Rd? Usually has tyres strapped to the roof! SPOTTED: silver C34 turning left onto Abott Road, near Bunnings Seven Hills Thursday 6th Aug, around lunch-time. Tried to catch up but was held up by a red light.

    I see a very nice white M35 Stagea on Sackville St/Lucas Rd (Blacktown/Lalor Park) a few times a week on my drive into work. Gave him the wave if I spot him early enough (and get one back). Legend.
  5. Hi All, Cleaning out the shed, putting these springs up for sale. I've since swapped out my suspension for BC coilovers, so these have to go else the missus will literally die of a fit. Part Numbers: 54010-RSM55, 55020-RSM55 $200, local pick up only from Seven Hills, Sydney NSW. Cheers
  6. Apologies for bringing up an old topic. My drivers side front fender flare flew off on Pittwater rd a few weeks ago. I'm struggling to find a replacement, just thought I would check here if anyone is wrecking an ARX or have any spares they would like to sell me? Amayama wants north of $400 delivered. Part number is 63810-AQ100 I am aware of the few ARX's wrecking on eBay at the moment, but they have either been sold, or the fender flare is glued on so the guy wants to sell me whole guard. Long shot, I know. But cheers anyway

    White ARX on Quarter Sessions Road, Westleigh over the weekend.
  8. I can confidently report I have no more stalling issue. Drove it around all last week, also drove it up to Port Macquarie and back on the weekend (8 hours). I have a high idle, and RPM surge/drop when turning on a warm engine. Car isn't coasting great when engine is warm either, seems to hold in gear before changing up gears for a better roll. Replacing throttle body to hopefully fix this.
  9. Last weekend, my mate installed the BC BR coilovers on my ARX. Using out of the box height and dampening settings (for now). Pulled out the Nismo springs which I'll put up for sale later on.
  10. Throttle re-learn did not help. Though it looks like the throttle body has been sprayed with carbon cleaner (when the ignition coils and spark plugs were replaced. Pretty pissed off) so we're thinking it's possible the circuitry is now buggered. Hunting down a replacement now.
  11. Have a read of this thread and decide whether this accurately describes your issues. The part numbers are listed there as well. Another useful thread which might point you in the right direction, pending your specifics:
  12. Nice one, I'm very jealous. I've seen that car in person (sold Josh the rims, he's a ledge), it's awesome. My car was also stalling in similar scenarios to what you described. The most recent stall left the check engine light on (the previous few stalls did not) so my mechanic was able to plug in and get the error code, which pointed to CAS on bank 1 (I think). My car also struggled to turn on after stalling, 5-6 seconds of cranking before it would breathe into life - is this the same as yours? If so, I ended up replacing both sensors for $405 from a Nissan dealership (Hornsby) and I haven't had any stalling problems since. I think there was a recall on these sensors (look for a silver circle sticker next to your VIN plate. Mine had these recalls, but still failed anyway lol).
  13. The cleanest the old girl has been for a while.

    Spotted a black M35 on The Boulevarde, Dunbogan NSW yesterday at around 1:30pm. Gave the stagea wave and got a wave back. Think I have seen that stagea around the Laurieton area previously.
  15. What is that supposed to mean? "You look like a Volvo driver" ?? hah
