Black & white for sure - nice contrast... but you gotta colour code the grey ARX "beard".

Done the turbo, exhaust & rims, got the ECU (Emanage Ultimate), dreaming of the CV8 with paddle shift, swaybars will be by the end of the year, can't do suspension until I move into a house without a rediculously steep driveway.... *Is that my bank account I hear screaming?*

btw. Did you get the wiring diagram you needed for your Haltech?

(in the workshop manual thread if you haven't)

Just got the diagram then....sent it onto Haltec......looks to be the poo! GOLD!!!...thankyou.

P.S.Where the F..k did you get that......someone must have alot of time on there hands....not you, the person who did all the wiring diagrams.

P.S.S I nearly did the ARX plastic's colour coded...then I found the pic below....kinda reminds me of my Grandma's couches....after that I figured "cannot polish a turd" and left it as it is...after all it is only a stationwagon....or is it!!!!.......hmmmmm!!!!.....just started raining outside............HEH HEH!

Google is my friend... It was the 6th page down on my search, although I can't seem to find it now :D

Black colour coding looks much better than white (black is "slimming" remember). Now where did I put that pic...

Rain + NM35 Stagea = :D

Light rain + NM35 Stagea + hilly, twisy road = :(

When are you getting the Haltec installed? Did you say it was the Interceptor??

I have been told by a turner that he has improved economy by ~10% & power by ~20% with the Interceptor.

Buffed my car today. Knew being a detailer would come in handy one day........

Anyways. Then I got a new DSLR camera, so buffed Stagea + awesome camera = pics. More tonight at sunset and a wash.

lol. I don't buff a car for less than $200 I'm afraid. Some people are more than happy to pay that because the paint will be as close as I can get it to being the day it left the showroom, but others don't think it's that important.

If your paints silver then it shouldn't really show up scratches anyway?

And I definatly don't have many skills with the camera yet. That was the first time I used it and all I was changing was the focus, zoom and aperture, the rest was all on auto :)

Glad to hear mate!!

This will probably be me this coming weekend!! :( Yours must've been on the same boat as mine, and got through compliance a little quicker? Mine's still at the compliancer's but I'm pretty confident I should get it in the next couple days.

I've owned a s2 stagea before so will be very interesting to see what Nissan have done to improve on it with the M35.

Looking forward to seeing the pics, and I'll upload some of my own hopefully soon! :)

OMG. Just you wait!

I looked at a series 2 (with pod filter & exhaust) before I got mine, but left less than impressed (so did the missus).

Got in my NM35...

Addicted.

Just want to drive it everywhere (and do).

My Fiance looooves it - so does everyone else that sits in or is chauffered around :D

Fits my (very large) dogs & suprises most (including that red HSV 255 R8 yesterday in Berwick :cool: - man was he pissed :rofl: )

hahaha im finding that i want to drive it everywhere too!!

in coffs i stacked the back end with furniture for my mother. fitted no problems. ended up fitting more than i expected!

i think i should have asked for a different interor colour. the beige is a little bland in colouring. i mean all over the dash and console area. looks dated. or maybe im just used to all black from all my other cars....... still extremely happy!

and pixel youll be happy as this weekend! i didnt sleep the night before i picked mine up. yeah im a kid when it comes to cars

i've been losing sleep over it for the past two months!! :rofl:

just hope i do get it this week...dont wanna wait yet another weekend :cool:

i never knew how hard waiting was till i started buying cars.........

agreed. i thought I was a very patient person until now...

Still dont have my car...obviously things are taking a little longer than expected. :banana:

Will have it today or tomorrow at the latest. Will have plenty more to say after I get it, but for now I'm gonna keep my mouth shut.

never been able to take a pic of this before with my crappy old camera. anyways its my other stagea :P

I have the same Stagea! It was the only one I could afford when I was 14 :) . I got it when I went on a school trip to Japan. Good times good times.

Anyway, I'm still stuck with my camera phone, so my pics aren't flash. Here they are anyway (with Dad's WA32 Cefiro in the background).

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
