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'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
