Thanks guys. I am really happy with the car and i am still getting used to people looking at me every where i go as my old car was a subaru 4WD station wagon. it is very nice inside and out plus some of the things that i was planning to do when i got a skyline have already been done on this car for me by the jap owner. The car is quite standard with a few mods which i have listed below:

-TEIN coil over adjustable suspension all round.

-Front strut brace.

-Turbo timer.

-98' series 3 front bumper.

-3" cat back system.

Hey i was just wondering how long it took for you guys to stop feeling paranoid about ur cars when u first got them. i don't want to take it to any shopping places and i too affaid to leave it any where in public too long. Also when i get out and turbo timer is going i feel weird walking off with the car running.

Very nice, looks good!

I still get paranoid leaving mine in public (had it for almost a yr), just try and minimise it whenever i can

just make sure you get a good alarm/immobiliser installed correctly

I've had mine for 2yrs now, full comprehensive insurance and im still paranoid about leaving it some places. I dont think i'll ever leave it unattended in a massive shopping centre carpark (ie westfields)..

I agree with most of the others in this thread too, the looks hot already, bring on the power mods.

Very nice car mate I still remember the first one I test drove they are a fantastic car. Have a look at the R33 GTS25T engine tuning guide on the website in my sig mate should be a good start.

Hey thank all. Yeah I hope to build my car up into a good all round streeter. I will be starting with the performance mods soon but I have to buy a deccent head unit and speakers first. Also does anyone know why nissan cheaped out when putting speakers in the car. It only had 30watt max speakers.

Still get very paranoid. Every scratch, every dent that I see is followed by a million swear words. Take good care of the car bud - its worth every dollar and every minute. It takes me ages to clean the car too - but its like my kid, and after all we all want the best for our children hehe.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
