Dad's ordered an Amarok to tow his new boat... too bad the wait for the Amarok keeps expanding, even though he's already paid his deposit... been waiting 6 weeks when he was told 3-4 week wait... :whistling: What toy do you have in mind? Is this in addition to the R32?

Northshore + 1, though they don't offer a warranty that I'm aware of. I had the car inspected interstate, and the only issue with the car I saw in the photos. As soon as I looked at the car in person (when I flew there to pick it up), I fixed that issue... gave the rear plastic a bump, and it fit properly again :thumbsup:

That's a surprise, are you positive about that?

I received a 3 month warranty back when I bought mine (they usually offered 12 months) and I thought that dealerships had to offer one by law these days?

There was something offered under NSW law, but I took the car to SA. Not sure if it applies, think ironpaw is right about the age coming into it.

Still applied for me buying from Northshore and bringing the car home to Vic.

If I needed anything fixed (didn't), Ben told me to call him and he would give the repairer his CC details over the phone.

I'd be surprised if you didn't have any kind of warranty.

if its under 10 years old and 180,0000km, they are required by law to offer 3 months 'factory' warranty. tyres, battery, brakes, lights etc arent covered.

they DO have warranty, and they will honour it interstate also

Hi all. First post here so please be gentle :) actually, i am not only new to this site, but new to nissans, turbocharged cars and imports!!!

the missus and i are looking for a "family" wagon, we have number two munchkin on the way and the 4 door lancer we currently have isnt cutting it for obvious reasons. I have been aware of Stagea's for a while, and to be honest nothing else seems to fit all of our criteria (space, comfort, price, and something to keep my right foot interested....)

i have been madly reading up on them inthe hopes of heading off any concerns the missus might have (and so far there really doesnt seem to be too much to worry about here :)) but i have just a couple of questions that i havent been able to find answers for while looking through the threads (apologies if they are stupid questions, hang on, there are no stupid questions, only stupid people right??)

firstly, on the M35's, where are the anchor points for child seats? in the roof of the luggage area like the C34's? also, we did test drive a C34, and i liked it, but the wife doesnt like the looks (i do...) and she thought the steering was too heavy. while i thought it was heavier than i was expecting, i didnt think it was too excessive. i thought it may have been due to the one we drove having 4 wheel steering, would this be correct?

anyway, after talking things through, she seems to prefer the looks of the M35 (no issues from me there, i like them too) and she would like to know if the steering will be heavy on them too. i know the only way to know is to drive one, and we are in the process of finding one we like, but i thought if i can tell her it is better it will help my case!

anyway, sorry for the long post. hopefully i can convince the boss and we will have a nice new family bus soon. thankyou for the replies in advance!

The steering is nice and light on the M35, but its not so light that you cant feel the wheels. However to be honest its too light for MY liking, but my wife rekons its fine for her.

the anchor points are in the roof, yes. depending on the compliance place, it might be close to the tailgate, or around 400mm in (where mine are)

good luck with looking for one! if you find a good one interstate, the drive home will be awesome :)

also check out northshore as they have the 3.5L models available, all automatic, but they also have RWD models

Thanks guys, much appreciated. as she will be driving it just as much as me we need to get something she will be happy with too. i was actually happily surprised when she said she preferred the M35. there are a couple around at the moment, and one not far from us which we are thinking of going to see. not averse to getting one from interstate either, its just transferring rego back here that can sometimes be an issue. it would be a great way to get to know the car with a nice long drive back. :cool:

its good to read that they are generally pretty reliable too. we wont be modifying it at all to be honest (well, at least not in ways that the wife will notice.....) i already have my "toy" which i think would be wise not to mention in this company :whistling: ( i am worried i wont be able to get any replies if you all found out what it is...), but i just dont see why i should get a boring car just cos we need more room, the job now is convincing the wife that it is actually a sensible choice ;)

Ps, sorry, found the smilies this time

I have the toy for towing if i need it, but that is unsuitable as a family car. I am probably what you would describe as a typical aussie bogan, but i try not to let that get in the way of appreciating any car for what it is. from everything i have seen Stagea's look good, have all the mod cons, drive well and are a lot more individual than a holden or falcon wagon. even the wife doesnt want a falcodore!

the toy is a holden VE SS ute, please dont hate me :D

Nothin' wrong with a V8 ute :thumbsup:. No hate here.

I ended up with the NM35 for much the same reason; love a wagon, but the usual suspects, Falcons, Commo's, Magna's :blink: held absolutely no appeal.

My missus loves driving it, good visibility, easy to park (except one gutter) and she quite likes the old TLGP, and the anonymity with the constabulary.

Add a few choice mods, and they step up to another level :whistling:.

Best of luck with the search; You won't be disappointed.

The bolded above will be a big winner! not the best at parking is Mrs Wombat. how you reverse into a tree that is wider than the car you are in i will never know.....

hmm, looking on the net there doesnt seem to be too many around with leather at the moment, and none here in SA. is it really that much of an improvement? i do like leather, but i am also impatient! once i have decided, and can convince the missus i will want one asap (i know, not the best attitude to have) maybe once we have sorted finances there may be more available....

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
