Does anyone on here have a M35 Stagea or a 99 dolphin front stagea in Newcastle or on the coast?

I saw a nice stock white M35 at Kotara before xmas.

Ryan, there are quite a few M35s in Sydney now - not sure who owns a white one, though.

Post your question up in the Stagea section here...

Thanks Nick, How is your Volvo going?

We took ours camping over christmas, and i had it chock a block with gear and drove up the coast and got about 10 ltrs per hundred kays. I was very happy with the big girl as it was the first time i have had her fully loaded and took it for a long drive.

I am looking to try and get a dolphin fronted series 2 or a M35 to use as a wedding car with mine. A bloke on here said that he would help out but i feel slack asking him to come from Sydney for the day, if i can get one more local it would be better.

My car's going well, thanks Ryan. There are a few minor issues, but that's to be expected and is all a part of the ownership experience, right?

How on earth did you manage to get 10l per 100Km? Tha's fantastic for a Stagea!

As for the wedding cars, I know there are at least five M35's down here in Sydney - andy65b (Andy), Jetwreck (Craig), zei20l (Ian), NRVOUS (Tony), cogdog (Mitch) and Paramour (Julius) are the main ones I find remember after a quick search. As for up in Newcastle, I'll let Ian's post guide you there...

ill be in that.. there was a club in newy... newcastle skyline enthuisasts... i still have my shirt.. not sure what happened to it... it just sought of fell apart... i think it got too "clubby and organized" rather than a bunch of mates all getting together. i think at the best meet we had a fair few cars.. around 20 or 30... i think.. it was like 5 years ago so who knows... that was pretty good for just word of mouth... no internet advertising or anything.

cheers

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
