Hi guys i am sebastiaan i from the netherlands. And i was searching for more info over the stagea so that way i found

this forum but now i am sitting with a problem of choosing between a WNGC34 or a GH-NM35 what is the best choise

If you are planning major engine modifications i think parts are more readily available for the RB25DET of the C34 and i prefer the look but the standard turbo M35 has more power and more upmarket features (and actually looks better in the metal than in the photos).

It would be more a matter of personal choice and whether or not you will be doing modifications to the car. The C34 probably has more aftermarket support and for the most part is easier to work on, especially if you want to change the turbo later on.

Either way, the Stagea is proving to owners (of both C34 and M35) to be a dream car to own - right guys and girls?

id agree! its got good performance and creature comforts. and youre right, the aftermarket support of the M35 isnt as great as the C34. that said, the C34 HAS been around a lot longer. give it time and the M35 parts will come down in price. hopefully with the yen and when i have some cash :)

hi sebastiaan, a warm aussie welcome to you, it's a hard choice you are considering, obviously both models are great cars, i think it,s personal taste really although the c34 is an older model they are well advanced and you can still find excellent examples, the m35 is an exciting car with more aftermarket bits available to make it look more desirable, but the main reason i purchased a c34 apart from all the extras that come with my car the one thing that sold me was a tried and tested RB MOTOR.

goodluck with your choice whichever way you go you will not be disappointed.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
