I got a 140k km auto 97 as my second r33 For 4k recently on gumtree and the only issue is AAC valve the abs doesn't work and my disks are warped but mechanically it's a1 for an auto! Drove it from qld to Vic with minimal issues other than overheating and worked out it was simply the rad cap not holding pressure. Got an apexi exhaust to go on shortly and a HDI FMIC but slightly worried if I start getting too keen the auto isn't going to like me! Sounds like you got your work cut out for you also... Had a headlight die on me this week any tips for parts sources in this town would be helpful!

my silver stagea magicallly turned into a black 300zx coupe .. from one headache to another.. although.. parts are craploads cheaper and more common thankfully.. although working on the car at this point is worse than the m35 :S
PS Cam .. sorry to hear about your loss.. least you didnt have to give it away for debts like mine.. miss it dearly!

saw a dodgy as , r34 front conversion on chinook street everton hills. hard to describe but everything was off.. looked terrible.
But mind you i cant talk.. i just bought a 300zx.... tears to come

some S14s came without ABS, i THINK all series 1s didnt - may have been an option, series 2 (with updated front end) all did.
did europe get the S14? i thought only Japan, australia and the US did
minus britian , a few european countries didnt get skylines or stageas .. in norway and a few other countries anyway because of left hand drive. and what japan actually released as lhd cars. if they dont come as left hand drive and require conversions they cant rego them.
they got plenty of s13's , s14's and s15's though. but damn expensive. - which they only drive in the summer. then in the winter they drive audi and bmw beaters , the nissans are expensive in comparison.. and because they salt their roads when its snowing they rust to buggery.

good comparison for a stock stagea there
and you must be talking to the wrong people, nistune is a very capable ecu and i would even rate it higher than a power fc. my list of mods is as long as your r33's and its all being run by nistune.sturb25: nistune is probably going to do more for fuel economy than power on a completely stock stagea. the biggest issue with the stock setup is the dump and exhaust, its very restrictive to the point where potential power is lost. with an aftermarket exhaust system and nistune only there will be a very noticeable difference in power, especially up top where it normally chokes up on the stock setup.
lol yes bad example sorry.

no but i ran a power fc on a r33 , with only a hks 28/71 , z32 afm. walbro pump , hks intercooler , pod filter ,custom turbo intake , 3 inch xforce exhaust system and a ,gizmo boost controller at 22psi and was just hitting 398hp atw. on stock injectors ,,, would light up the cheapo 235s all the way into 4th last track day. -and i did few low 11sec runs.. also beat a 6.3litre r8 supercharged commodore supposedly 513hp ,but knowing holden that wasnt atw, but felt great shitting on a new bommodore in a 93 beater r33
ive only heard bad things about nistune setups - but cant say first hand.

Heated seats are damn good in winter. But on several occasions I've bumped the switch without realising it and my balls gets toasted..
haha yeah i hated accidently doing that especially in qld.. youd wonder why your legs and back would start sweating until you saw the orange light.
what i found was more disturbing was when you attempted to reverse in snow mode instead of sports mode and it would do that jerk motion like trying to rock itself out of a boggy ditch , and never fully engage the diff
without realising you had flicked the switch.
i only 'had' a rx , everyone seems to have much better ones on the forum if i was going to buy again it would be axis then RS depending on looks/condition . all i had was the heated seats. no lsd , but fortunately no hicas!
(wonders if he'll get shamed out for choosing a c34 instead next time a late model neo based one or a 260rs - theyre getting cheaper!)

Hi Dale ,
Thanks for the warm welcome back. , i have definitely missed chatting to the m35 crew
yeah shit happens , just gotta move forward , the guy who got my stagea definately got a good deal so he was pretty happy, and the mate who bought my skyline got a killer deal so he was equally as happy and i was happy to see it go to a friend (who has now ripped out the 400hp atw rb25 , and stuck a 25/30 forged build in there with a r34 neo head , pvr clutch, billit flywheel ,with haltec and a garrett gt35r -but the car has no interior now and is roll caged going to be purely a track beast methinks but i hope he doesnt kill himself , hasnt got it all together yet still has external pump and ecu , catch can to go in and some minor changes to the engine but hes hoping for 580hp once tuned. .
Hope things are all going well for you guys also, and yeap gave it a go , but im a sucker for these cars now so im willing to do it again !
i bet everyones m35 is bombed to buggery these days. anyone else hit the 300kw barrier yet atw ? be interested to hear about mods.
P.S im currently driving a pulsar n16 lol.. 96kw .. bit of a change of tempo , shameful but least its a nissan and its cheap on fuel hehe.
Cheers Keir

my business went under.. lost about 150k worth of business investment.. still got a few service agreements that i live off. but ive had to go back to fulltime work..
all my cars had to be sold quickly to survive in between working to keep the family afloat... got 10k for the stagea which i spent about 35k on with mods.. (wasnt expecting to get 30k back mind you ..probably real value was about 15-18k) ..sold my skyline for 3.5k for a tuned 400hp r33 skyline and registered. that i pumped about 12k into also.
so in total i got back 13.5k
so yeah lost a bit of cash.
shit happens.. but im back to work now and saving ..mrs is going back to work and soon ill be getting this stock low km clean r33 and then another stagea when i can afford too.. miss them so much
but anyway back on topic..
Turbo is going to Scott
- sold -

i got it from dunc and jetwreck .. believe it was dunc's old turbo.. not sure. but its done about 100,000kms .. still in good order.. has sat in a box in a plastic bag ever since.. no compressor play , unsure of condition (its never been used by me but dunc or jetwreck could confirm);
i paid $300 for it.. plus postage.
people can have it for whatever theyre offering.
ive lost about 50k on cars this year.. i dont really give a crap what im offered.. someone can have it for $200 + postage if they want it.. or pick up if theyre in brisbane.;
-
havent been online for ages since i made a bit of a dick of myself after having a bit of a meltdown earlier this year and got flamed on a forum - my own fault had some family and personal issues at the time and lost the plot a bit.. but anyway...
ive had numerous messages from people chasing a spare m35 turbo
its still sitting there if anyone wants it..
regards
Keir

I don't like to knock people on forums, but you have been quick to bad mouth people on this forum due to your ignorance...
You did the same thing to me when I offered wheel dimensions for your Stagea - going on a rant about how I gave you poor information and you had wasted all your money on wheels you purchased based on my "bad" information... turns out they were spot on and that you didn't have a clue.
Now you are calling someone a "dodgey F#$k" because they sold you squeeky springs! How the hell can solid pieces of steel squeek?
If you dont understand a whole lot about cars or anything mechanical, thats fine - this is a great place to learn, with loads of friendly and helpful people that put in a lot of effort for fellow forum members.
But dont go bad mouthing other people when you have no idea what you are talking about!
I personally helped Chris remove those springs, which were in fantastic condition, and I highly doubt you can pick them up cheaper new.
Sorry for my rant, but I hate it when people attack others due to their lack of understanding.
good on you benny for being the jumped up wanker - im sure youve got alot to do other than sit here and make up bullshit like you even have the first clue.
for one .. i paid spoolin 300$ for these springs.. do the research you f*kwit.. theyre $212 from IM - with about $60 packaging... do the math .. and yes they were damaged.
perfect condition my arse mate.. again your defending bullshit.. i saw the springs i recieved and the damage.
the plastic leafs that are supposed to stop the springs from squeeking were f
**ked up and damaged.. dont assume f**k all mate.. because your talking f**king shit defending something you know f**k all about.
sure maybe i shouldve not posted in here on the forum but i wanted to make a point of f**kwits talking utter f**king shit trying to defend other f**kwits ripping people off.
i told you so has a brother benny .. his name is shut the f**k up asshole.lol
and whats this bullshit story about me complaining to you about my rims not fitting.. WTF are you on about dickhead ?
i never even spoke to you about my rims not fitting. are you on f**king crack mate ?>

Awesome stuff! Congrats!
yes craig .. congrats mate .. glad you got blacky back on the road.

Spoolin - ive got a bit of a bone to pick with you over those RSR springs.. they squeek like f**k and make noises daily and you charged me more for these crappy second hand springs than they even were new from import monster with shipping...
again.. watch out for dodgy f**ks on here.. selling you shit thats simply not worth it.

I really need to sit down and plan this stuff to go in. hoping for all to go in within the next month and a half
how much have you spent now ?
im actually considering selling mine now. as i cant drive it for work..and its becoming an endless money pit i cant see the end of. turbo highflow and plenum spacer is my limit. then i might sell mine mid next year. (oh and 280nismo cluster)
300zx wagons arent the choice of cars to mod imo. (m35s)
if you disagree .. talk to craig .. lol
or scottys mrs.. lol

hahah you wish! its a long drive from my place to yours
speaking of which, i have only seen 2 C34s up here and no M35s. sucks to be in surfers. i was hoping to see one on the highway today up to movie world.
are you in town ?
thats only 45 minutes away from my place.
bah shouldve told me.. i wouldve cancelled my appointment and come and visited yah earlier!
-
spotted a morone S2 c34 on the logan motor way on friday - i beeped as i was getting off the freeway.. but as i was driving the corolla turbo .. you probably paid no notice.

Went to get a new Warrant of fitness last week (NewZealand based)
The inspection guy jacks the car up on the hoist and walks underneath, he gets to the back and shines his torch into the rear undercarriage. A minute later he makes eye contact with me sitting in the waiting room and jestures for me to come over.
Dude: (while smirking knowingly) "have you tried to modify the suspension on this car?"
Me: "Nope, it's as per the factory spec"
Dude: "I know for a fact that VOLVO's don't have suspension like this, so you want to try another story?"
Me: "You're right, and VOLVOS have been Front or All wheel drive since the early 90's, this is rear wheel drive"
Dude: (now looking rather confused) "You need to get a certificate in order to modify suspension like this and this would fail, the welding looks horrible! It's not road worthy"
Me: " Aluminium welding always looks like that when it's done by a wire fed MIG robot welder, this is a NISSAN and it has not been modified in any way"
Dude: "......"
Me: (now rather annoyed) " Look theres nothing wrong with this car, just drop it, sticker it and let me get out of here"
So long and uncomfortable argument ensues with me repeating myself over and over, he eventually gave up, realizing he was wrong and I left. What a doofus.
bahaha .. thats classic.
what was the outcome .. did he give you the compliance in the end / rego whatever it was you were after ?

definately - the HDI decal / badge would be good also - as its the same colour

i think i'll have the highest cost.
Justcar - $2,800 full comp. Obviously.
Covered for $30,000 with excess of $500.00
I was on my P's when I got it. so theres your reason
I was suprised that I was covered at all far out man thats insane.. why such a high cover price?
i could barely get 25k for mine and my rims are worth more than your car - just kidding
mind you my premium is 1127$ for both the stagea m35 and the skyline
$500 excess each - and the stagea is covered for 25k
the r33 skyline is covered for 10k - and thats one premium for both cars.
i was with just car - they wanted too much i shifted to shannons. - just car also gave me an agreed value of 22,800. for all my mods. wasnt enough.
if youve got 2 cars - bundle them its cheaper.. mind you they knew the skyline was off the road and unregistered - and un drivable till registered - that premium will go up another $112 when its back on the road and registered. only because its in bits and unregistered that theyve allowed such a low cover price. - and that its in a locked garage. (with an aftermarket alarm also)
but rating 1 and im nearly 32.
i reckon thats great cover for two turbo cars personally.
-
may as well tell everyone. yeah i did
a few things to note:
dont ask me how much i paid
dont ask for parts, ill put up a FS post with everything available. If i get a PM from you, you get nothing.
dont assume its yours unless youve paid for it.
thank you
gis all ur good bits ;d

My pasenger window was also disabled on purpose I think... No alarm nor An imobilizer yet can't trust this city to leave it anywhere predictably dodgy yet! If you see a white r33 with qld plates you'll know who's car it is
