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

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
