I believe the cloth is a more comfortable seat, I just felt like I was perched on top of the leather, instead of nestled in, but that's an individual thing. Don't get too hung up on a detail like that; I think there are more important things to focus on.

Like twin sunroofs!

I notice you're in Adelaide Mr Wombat. I bought one about 2 months ago from Northshore in Sydney, flew over, drove it back. No issue with the ID check and transferring rego (except the stamp duty! $$$$!). Car was exactly as Ben described, and he gave good directions on public transport to get to him, and picked me up from the ferry.

When I looked around, there just weren't enough around in Adelaide to get what I wanted. I would have no hesitation buying from interstate again.

If you want me to take you for a spin in mine, more than happy to, just send me a PM. Just make sure you come to the next Stag cruise!

Yeah sorry bout that, just wondering if they are generally trouble free... I am looking at m35's with less than 50,000kms on them... There are a few c34's here but no m35's so I can't really check them out... Looking at ones in nsw....

lol, talk about a vague question.

Whilst I like Legnums, an M35 Stagea will shit all over the two cars you mentioned.... unless you want to tow something

Legnums that bad? I thought they're a bit faster/better handling out of the factory than the M35's, no?

More thirsty too...LOL...and probably harder to source parts for?

NM35 will be a minimum of 8 years old.

There will not be many with under 50,000kms without being wound back.

They are generally very reliable cars.

Only thing that definitely will die is the turbo.

Any Nissan dealer will get parts in for you, but it is definitely easier if you DIY or have a mechanic/dealer that actually enjoys what they do and will take the time to figure stuff out.

As a point of reference, the only failures I have had have been the turbo, passenger side front wheel bearing assembly and the radiator.

Not bad considering I have just passed 215,000kms and mine is a 2001 build (one of the earliest batches).

FYP

i rekon they are reliable too

mines done a radiator (seal, not cracked) transmission has an issue but its a known fault normally fixed in japan. my dealer was a d1ck. and the turbo is still going strong at 120+k on the clock!

Gt high performance - kirrawee !!!! Anyone had anything to do with them... I haven't talked to them, just looking online at the moment.....

If you're in the Sydney region I've heard nothing but great things about northshore prestige motors. I would definitely start there.

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
