Haven't seen a stagea in months over in Perth, then I see 3 in 24hours. Met Chris (footo) yesterday on a cruise, greenish c34 in doubleview, and silver, maybe an autech?? At the lights,marmion/burns beach road.

Bit exhausted but finally got my Apex-i on and sitting nicely Cleaned it too, then went down a country road in the evening and covered it in bugs...

Just the catback, two of the hangers line up, and the two rear ones (supporting the cannon) do not fit the stock mounts, hectic work commitments mean I can only deal with it on weekends. Missed my opportunity this morning but will try next weekend. Thinking of getting a new front pipe made up while I'm at it, any thoughts on what I should be looking at, wanting it quiet but just freer flowing.

Can anyone recommend anywhere around the midland area thats good for fitting exhausts? Got an Apex-I that needs some new/modified mounts or hangers to fit correctly. Cheers Nick

That or we're both merely justifying money spent haha heck I even think it corners better now

Got rid of the old paper job and dropped in a K&N filter yesterday. I'm probably imagining it but it feels a little bit more responsive on the pedal.

Finally... Midland pits were a lot better to deal with than the other mob I went to... Went the extra mile to sort it all out for me this arvo. Cheers

This was way more effort, stress and money than it should have been, but finally got it changed over... I never want to do that again! Still waiting to get my cat-back in and dale's brace when it comes. Next on my list is new brakes and probably the HDI inter-cooler, dump, front pipe etc etc etc haha... if only money grew on trees

Still sitting on the fence with this one, but are the gains looking to be as pronounced as with front end brace? Cheers Nick

On the flip side I had a great experience with nagoya, pretty much the opposite of yours. The sales rep I dealt with was upfront, helpful, and when it came down to a warranty company not paying up when my turbo died they were more than helpful in coming to a resolution, mind you 1/2 of what the warranty people should have paid out, but that was by no means nagoya's fault, there's a whole lot more to that story...

Cheers ross, this my be a bit of a silly question but how does one tell if it's tint or glass?

Mechanic said 20% on the rear windows. Both driver and passenger windows have already had tint removed which was all the was required for compliance. Auto power joondalup. Only place I could find open on a Saturday. Have a bookIng already with a place up in gin gin just in case this happened, but no point throwing another 60 bucks away. So I guess I get the tint removed...

Failed the inspection on window tint being too dark on the rear windows. One would think if it was able to be complianced and registered in nsw with window tint as is it wouldn't be an issue, obviously not. Can anyone recommend a decent/cheap window tinter, or somewhere not as an*l. Thrilled about throwing a hundred bucks away...

Posting to say G'day, moved across from NSW recently with my silver M35. Enjoying the process of trying to get the car inspected and license changed to WA while having a 9-5 job... Got an inspection this coming saturday so fingers crossed its all good. I get the impression there isn't a whole lot of M35's over here... Cheers Nick

Thanks for the tips I've been looking at a few vids and writeups online, for different cars mind you, but they all seem to say that most cars are the same. Will I need a special tool or like a C clamp etc to push the piston out for the new pads? Is there a requirement to bleed the system after changing them etc PS thinking of grabbing something like this in the near to distant future, http://www.ebay.com....=item27c8937848 Thoughts? PPS any idea when you are doing your next run of braces Cheers

G'day, I'm about due for a brake replacement/upgrade just wondering if some one could give me advice on the difficulty, or rather potential of f***ing something up when replacing the pads, and potentially rotors on an m35. Tinkered plenty with other cars, but never brakes, trying to save myself some money. Looking at the RDA slotted rotors and unsure of pads. Cheers

I recently moved over to the wild west as well, If you guys have any tips dealing with the DOT and transferring plates that'd be great Where do you guys go to get your car serviced/worked on? Cheers Nick

I put mine on a truck a few weeks ago and had it safely arrive in Perth on Friday. I had a search but turned up donuts, can anyone recommend anyone to go to in perth, preferably the nth side to look after it? If they can do a vehicle safety check (pink slip) that'd be great too! Now just waiting for my Apexi N1 from joshm35 to arrive

Well I was looking at a kakimoto R, but for less than half the price I might grab this, JoshM35, sending you a PM Is the sound similar to a kakimoto? Cheers

Hey mate did u notice much of a performance gain, and do u have a video or sound clip of it? Cheers Nick

My advice is to be careful where you go... I got ripped off hard for what I thought was an engine out high-flow rebuild, turns out they just f**ked around getting it in and out with the engine remaining in car. This all by a northern beaches franchise of a widespread automotive mechanic company recommend by my warranty company who then tried to take them for a walk (approaching $5k) and shot himself in the foot saying it was my fault it broke... I ended up forking out more than $3K, and that was after a payout of approx $1200 (1/3rd of what it should have been). I believe it was a sierra 2 rebuild, but when I asked for info on what they actually put in I got donuts! The receipt said "turbo up spec rebuild $(bullsh*t).00" Also no info if they drilled the banjo out or not... My advice would be to shop around, needless to say I'm a rather bitter about my experience... still haven't fully recovered financially, if I could go back I wouldn't have wasted my time and money dealing with this workshop and warranty cr*p and gone straight to Jetwreck for a no BS, cheaper alternative from someone that actually knows a thing or two about this car. I'd probably know exactly what work was done and equipment went into the car too...

Spotted spoolin12 along the beach front in manly and a white axis plates OM350 going onto Sydney Road from the spit bridge.

My decision was made a few weeks ago... This thread wasn't in vein though, it'll come in handy sometime next year when I drive back!

Chance encounter in traffic with a tidy black M35 just past the servo's on the way to Williamtown/nelson bay. Had a bit of a laugh. Wouldn't mind my car to go like yours if you're on here haha
