M35 Info


Brazen

Recommended Posts

DrMoShen - I have an AXIS that has had the factory stereo removed.

The entire plastic dash surround has been replaced with a new one that takes a double DIN unit. It doesn't quite colour match, but you wouldn't notice at first.

I've got an Eclipse CD5030 head unit installed that works really well.

The radio is hooked up to the factory antenna and the reception is good. You just need an adapter to combine the two antennas.

What swayed you towards the Eclipse over other units?

so have you found one you want to buy yet?

I know what I want. I've just got to wait until one comes up.

I'm probably going to be stuck with the car (for better or worse) for 10 years so I've got to make sure I'm happy with it.

OK so we all now have a stock item we can buy off the shelf here in Australia rather than going the whole Japan or US route.

A couple of months ago Danny(for those that know him) approached HDI to get them to develop an intercooler kit to suit the M35 in Australia. Those kits are now available from HDI as a bolt on production run item. Please note that like all business's if they don't get the sales they will drop it from there line up.

The kit uses the latest technology in IC's being the GT2 core. It's made a huge difference from the bottom end through the midrange to the top end in my car. It also has an awesome displacement of heat even in 40 degree weather.

Kit pricing as follows but will need to be confirmed with Jason at HDI:

*Full kit with IC, all piping, clamps and fan - $899

*IC only - $450

*There is a cheaper option but you will have to talk to HDI directly.

P.S. More photo's are available just PM me though.

I would say the GT2 core with its extruded fins would sh*t all over the blitz folded fin core for flow and cooling. I suggest you research the pro's and cons of each before the purchace.

Oh, didn't realise there was much difference. I am new to turbo tuning so please excuse me :P

+1.

I did a bit of digging into this one as I am looking for a FMIC upgrade.

Can't comment on the temp drop that each cooler performs, but regarding pressure drop (efficiency of the core - less is better)

Blitz CS - roughly 1psi pressure loss at 20psi

HDi - 0.2psi pressure loss at 20psi (claimed)

Hey Folks (1st Post)

Just like to say a big thanks in advance for all the helpful information in here.

My partner and I are looking into buying an M35 Stagea (hopefully either and Axis or AR-X) and reading through this has cleared some questions up automatically.

I can't wait to get down to Sydney and have a look at some up close and in person and test drive one.

I'm sure you'll be hearing from me more often hahah..

Chris.

I'm looking at buying a 2002-2003 ARX turbo but was wondering what people are paying for insurance now. I'm finding it difficult to get a quote as it's a "dodgy import" (same old story I had back in 2001 with my u13 bluebird attesa). Oh, I'm in WA, 38 (old git) etc etc so should be able to get reasonable rates....

Love the car but I don't feel like paying $1100 a year for insurance especially when something like a turbo territory is $615!

Cheers

    • The housing it self made minimum differences, while the exhaust manifold made a difference. 6 Boost T3 divided will do fine. ATR43SS3ProR model in T3 .82 rear (TS optional) from March 25th will be more then capable of 450whp with excellent response.   
    • The boy crashed his Patrol a while ago, so he is now driving his mum's ASX and she is driving my Honda I initially said he could have the Honda to drive around (he's a good kid currently training at the police academy), but, his mum was quick in saying that he "will" take the ASX and she will take the Honda, he was a bit upset with that, he rates the manual Honda more than the automatic ASX (mums taxi), and I'm getting the feeling she enjoys thrashing the manual Honda around In other news, I'm looking at a MX5 NB series 2 on Saturday  I always loved my NB series 1, but after stripping it down because I'm a idiot it wasn't fun cruising or driving around daily, and Jackie refused to drive it, which was an issue if we went out, because her refusing to drive it meant I lost my designated driver if we went to a party, or dinner, or...... basically anywhere where I could get a glow on Yes yes, I may need a new job if I decide to buy https://www.seek.com.au/apprentice-hairdresser-jobs/in-All-Sydney-NSW Plus giving the Honda to the boy, which is my cunning plan, will give me enough wifey type credits to turn up in another car Meh
    • Yeah I've just been checking it out on GTR registry and its the emerald green pearl (DS0) and only 610 made for S1 RS-Four V (if i'm understanding correctly) so I feel obliged to restore the paint to as close to original as possible!
    • Thankyou, sir! Yeah I'm having a lot of fun rewiring bits of the car. I used to dislike wiring a lot before, I dont like it any more but it is getting easier
