The weekly Coastie Cruise is back for the new year, starting tonight!

Oh, and by the way, I'd like to organise a cruise for Sydney and NSW owners either late this month or early- to mid-February. Who's keen, and who's got suggestions for a route and destination? I was thinking taking Putty Road up into the Hunter Valley...

  • 3 weeks later...

Who's coming up this week? We're thinking of taking donations for the bushfire appeal - my sister works for Unilever, and they're matching all monetary donations dollar-for-dollar.

Okay guys n gals, some of you may or may not know about the weekly thursday night meet/cruise to the coast. For those of you who

dont know, just click here or here for a full explanation. Basically we meet at the truckstop at berowra around 7.30pm, and aim for an

8pm departure. You can take the regular highway or go up the old road, its up to you. For the stagea owners who do know about this

weekly cruise, WHERE ARE YOU? I want to seriously get some major stagea representation up there! If you have any questions just

post in the thread or send me a PM i'll be glad to try answer any questions you might have.

If anyone is a little unsure of how to get to the truck stop i'd be more than happy to meet somewhere close on the way, i live in the

hills area. No excuses people, i want to see more stageas up there cos its currently only Nick and myself and we both want that to

change!

Hope to see some more of you up there over the coming weeks.

Once I get my M35 which probably won't be till this Friday I will make it to a meet.

I'll read up on it, but it sounds pretty good to me!

Count me in guys.

2001 M35 Stagea (pending)

Correction to my last post, I may if things work out collect the car tomorrow (Thursday).

All going to plan I may make the cruise tomorrow night.

Any other M35's going? :huh:

Regards

ill be able to drive probably next week, but i cant make this week :huh:

and yeah we need another M35 to show up Stephen! lol

I take it there is a large amount of WC34's but a lack of M35's?

I can understand why, I was initially after a WC34 but the mob I was dealing with didn't have anything I liked in that range. I started looking at the M35 and decided it was a better choice as everything was newer and it's a more current driveline. It's a nice vehicle it just doesn't have the same lines and appearance.

Is your car off the road or are you out of action? lol

Pic of mine attached, make sure you come up and say hello if we both make it next week.

It's a metallic wine red, it's not bad I think it grows on you. I'm led to believe it's a fairly rare colour for the M35.

As for brakes, do you need them? :P Just put a brick on the go go pedal and you'll be right! afterall it's 4wd yes? :huh:

i guess i could just back off a little earlier. they weigh 2 tons so it will come to a stop by itself :huh:

hahah nah its mostly the drugs that are making me drowsy. and if i bring the mrs to drive, theres NO way we could keep up. she has a feather foot. and last time she drove it she scraped half of one wheel on a gutter!!!

Stephen, it would be great to have you along if you manage to get your car tomorrow. We need more Stageas in general, whether they're C34s or M35s... It's usually just me along, Alex comes on occasion, and there's another owner there sometimes because he lives locally to the meet-up spot.

Ian, you should come along even if the missus is driving - it looks like the rain will continue so we'll most likely be taking the freeway anyway...

I might go tomorrow....just have to check with my social director.

If you want to go Ian I don't mind picking you up and dropping you off....let me know....and don't worry I will go the new road if you want......be good to have more M35's than C34's for once aye! :P

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
