i work for a company that is the largest remarketer of insurance claim vehicles in australia - i used to work in the salvage department which involves dealing with all the insurance write offs that the insurance comapines pay out on and then onsell.
ever since the GFC hit, denied claims went through the roof, because a lot of people got into financial trouble and did all sorts of weird and wonderful 'jobs' on their cars. as a result, if it is a single car claim (ie, no other car was involved in the accident), the assessors scrutinise the claim to the nth degree.
so trust me, if you think you can get away with it - think twice - they've seen every single thing at least once before, and you will not get away with it, and you WILL get black listed for life. remember, it is the assessor job to find reasons to avoid paying out a full claim, and to undervalue your vehicle.
Too true - I was working for the RAC when the big storm hit Perth earlier this year, and the number of stories of people trying to claim 'hail damage' when they'd just taken to their car with a hammer astounded me. One particular fool took apparently took to every panel of his car to falsify the damage and when trying to get the vehicle assessed was pulled aside and told the storm didn't travel in circles around his car shooting hail stones from all sides.

Whispbar actually have the Stagea as a selectable model on their website (http://www.whispbar.com.au/cars/nissan/stagea) - not sure how they'd go but they look like they'd be an option to consider?
UPDATE: Approximately $300-$350 for the Whispbar set.

Has anyone attempted to cut DIN holes out on their M35 Stagea with the stereo moulded into the facia? I was thinking (when I get my Stag) of cutting mine out to double-DIN dimensions and putting a PC and proper touch-screen display in.

Are you allowed to drive a RHD car in a LHD country with a sticker stating as such? I know I've seen a few American imports (Mustang, etc.) that have been LHD with some kind of "Caution: LHD Car" sticker displayed here in Aus...

Has anyone here had experience with Nagoya? So far they seem to be fairly communicative.

Do some m35's come with single din stereos? I thought they were all double din..

So these cars are in Sydney- and your in Perth- how much is the car carrier?
Try Trading post aswell- I know a good dealer who only advertisers in there- gets clean cars-
Nagoya seems like the way to go as they offer free transport of the car to Perth - I had found one M35 for sale here in Perth, but it had 100k on the clock and approximately the same price as what Nagoya is offering for theirs (plus it looked neglected).

Trouble is I won't be able to drive the car prior to purchase since I'm located over the other side of the country. Anybody located in Sydney want to take the cars for a test drive for me and deliver a verdict??

Hi Everyone, I've been a long-time lurker here just waiting for the moment I can finally afford an M35 - well, that time has come! I've been searching for a low-km ARX-Four and have finally found a couple situated over east (I'm based in Perth). They are both located at Nagoya Motors. I was wondering if I could get some feedback from other SAU members as to their experiences with this dealer and whether they've seen the cars at the dealership (A blue with stock number 956, and a silver with stock number 1088).
I am looking at getting an MTA inspection on the vehicles prior to purchase, but since you guys are the experts I figured this would be a better place to start than anywhere!
Also what should I be looking for when getting an M35 inspected prior to purchase?
Any help is more than greatly appreciated!

Maybe get a mate to drive behind you while you accelerate to see what the car's doing?
