Hey fellas - just got this thru on email from Geoff at Prestige Motorsport... M35s will soon be available for around$24,000 for turbo version, and under $20,000 for the NAs :P Plus for one person who offers their car for the compliance testing FREE compliance ;)

The M35 Stagea is approved under SEVS and will be coming soon to Australian shores.

For full details and some pictures, see our full article online at:

http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul....php?storyid=23

The 2001+ model is a luxury 4-door wagon which was produced in 4WD with the 2.5L VQ25DET (NEO) engine. It has 280 ps (205.94 kw) @ 6400 rpm and max. torque of 406.98 Nm @ 3200 rpm making it a very interesting family wagon and sure to give Volvo wagon drivers a nice little surprise at the lights.

One of our reliable compliance workshop contacts has now obtained all the necessary compliance evidence for the Stagea M35 and is offering FREE COMPLIANCE for anyone prepared to supply them with a stock standard M35 Stagea suitable for the final DOTARS inspection.

While there can be a wait, with free compliance translating to a saving of over $3,500 it may be worth considering this offer if you want to be one of the very first to drive the M35 in Australia.

With the free compliance offer, a near new Stagea M35 auto with less than 40,000 kms could be as cheap as $23,000 complied. Clearly amazing value.

At best guess, compliance is likely to be available in 4 to 6 months.

We will be sending an update to our e-mail Mailing List to let you know as soon as compliance becomes available, so stay tuned.

We can of course source Stageas to order directly from auction just like any other model. Take a look at the Japanese Auctions Online (www1.prestigemotorsport.com.au) to see what is available at auction today, or ask for a FREE 7-day trial of our automated Auction Search System which delivers auction vehicles of interest to you by e-mail each morning.

i was fairly keen to get one of these after i've finished with my one, but they're ALL AUTOs, and after the trouble i've been through to convert mine i don't want to have to do it again

But they are all 3.5L N/A, but yes, turbo kit that sucker with something from APS here and it will ownz a lot of stuff!

Hmm, VQ35DE, very tempting. i didn't know these existed. are they a newer model of the M35, as i though they were all VQ25DE(T)'s?

might be interested, i was thinking of a V35 350GT 6spd 4door soon, but the M35 might be a better option

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
