I'm now open to swaps as I have had two sales fall through from people not able to come up with the cash. I have since sold another car so we have room for another toy. Show me what you got and PM any offers. Straigth swap or cash either way. Cheers, Andrew.

Wow they throw some serious coin at those cars. Must of sounded amazing out there.

Could not agree more. Amercans can't read and even when several people corrected their errors, others kept getting it wrong!! Boy it's a real worry that they are considered the most powerful nation in the world.

Since getting my car serviced. I have averaged about 550 per tank. Got every oil in the car changed and it is running great now. I got 650 on a run on the freeway so I think that big numbers can be had. Also I never let the fuel light come on!!

Great car mate. Saw it at Northshore when I got mine in late October. Looks even better than those photos show. Sits perfect. Has anyone else thought of getting an airbag suspension setup? Is it possible with these cars with all the electronics???

Also it's a great idea to get a contract drawn up and signed by the seller saying that there are no outstanding defects or finance owing on the vehicle. I know a couple of people who have been stung a month or two after purchase with carry over defect notices. And it's your problem not the previous owner. The RTA or VicRoads etc don't care who owns the car. You can sell it 3 times over and they will track it down.

I know somone who did exactly that and got 3 months for it, plus good behaviour and it meant he lost his job and could not get a similar one because he now had a criminal record. Just for protecting his property and family. "The System" would prefer you let a thief do what they like and then "The System" will bring them to justice.....maybe.

Not many parts left on that. Would of loved the wheels!

Voted mate. Good Luck.

Spotted andy65b about an hour ago near Chatswood. Nice shiny metal behind your front bar there! You going to tell us all how it performs??

Also attached is a pic of the other wheels included in sale.

Hi Duncan, Did you need any modifications (brake lines, bolts etc) to fit the Ksports? The 6 pot fronts look like such good value but I'm unsure of quality as I don't know anyone using them. But as all the replacement parts are easily obtainable and brand interchangeable it really appeals. Do you have them fitted behind 17's or 18's. I would prefer not to upgrade wheels yet, but if I have too Thanks for the reply.

I have looked at lots of different options for a brake upgrade and would like to know if these http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...sc-t303758.html will fit and what you guys think of the price? I was looking at the K-Sport option but they seem too cheap for what they are. But then again anything with Brembo commands a real premium (350z kit) and I would really like them to fit behind my standard 17's as I have no plans to change wheels unless I can get a set of R35 rims. (I'm worse than a woman looking at shoes when it comes to wheels ) What brake upgrade are other NM35 owners using? I know R32 GTR's are being used (had them on my 180sx) and are a very cost effective option. So I would assume you could even use S15 brakes as these are 4 pot's also? Has anyone upgraded their rear brakes? Has anyone felt the need to? I just want to know all the options as brakes are the first thing I like to modify and getting a straight answer from suppliers is not going well. Sorry for the long post. Thanks in advance for any help. Andrew.

Hey guys had my conversion done last night by Andy. Works great. Only downside is I have seen Andy's car and I will now spend more money on mine!!! Great ride you got there. Very neat. Thanks again.

Cheers for the link. I will grab this for sure. I can't PM yet so I will give Andy a buzz soon. Thanks guys.

Is this happening? I would really like to see what it looks like as I don't know when I will be able to get up to QLD and get a Chris Rogers overhaul on everything.

That was probably me. I work near there and drive that road everyday at the moment.

That was me. I'm living in Epping at the moment. You local?

Spotted a dark gold ( I think, unusual colour) M35 on Carlingford Road yesterday. ARX with Black wheels. He gave it a good boot too!!

Hey Everyone, Picked up my new Stagea on Saturday. Big thanks to Ben from Northshore Prestige for answering all my questions! I plan to keep the outside standard and concentrate on the interior and underbonnet modifications. Has anyone in Sydney got their TV and DVD all sorted or is it still being worked on? Anywany here are some pics, any suggestions or comments are welcome. Hope to catch up with some fellow owners on a Thursday night meet. I'm from Parramatta. Cheers Andrew

I was told by the dealer to use 98 and the car will love you for it. He said they will run on 95 at a pinch but he did not recommend it. I will only be running 98. My car is totally standard. Cheers Andrew

Actually I got a white one. Silver and black do seem to be fairly popular though.

Hi Yo-Yo, Yes it's the M35. I will post up some pics once I pick it up. Cheers Andrew

Hi everyone, Just signed up to the forum as I have purchased an 2002 Stagea. Hopefully picking it up late next week. I have been reading up on all the Stagea information and can't wait to get the TV converted and see what other little modifications can be done. I plan to keep the car looking fairly standard as some of my previos cars have gotten out of hand once I started the mods! Anyway, I hope to catch up and meet some of the Sydney guys and learn as much as I can about these cars. I still don't know why these were not sold new in OZ. Cheers, Andrew
