im located near bachus marsh , but travel all around with work , i would like a later model as possable , so i dont feel im going to far backwards so to speak , i have a 2002 model ford , so a 2003 model stag would kind of defeat the purpose of buying a new vehicle , if you can understand where im coming from. regards alan

:laughing-smiley-014:

:(

Believe me Alan. My 2001 RS Four would be a mighty upgrade over a 2006 ford, let alone a 2008 model.

If you are in the Mt. Eliza area during business hours of the Pakenham area any other time, let me know in advance.

:D

Even the Spare Parts Manager for Audi Australia was impressed with the whole car, but mainly with the interior.

yeah id believe it , technically more advanced , but it has to do with my tax and the depreciation aspect, so the newer model i can get my hands on the more of a benefit long term.

Well I love the AXIS version and am very impressed with it being a 2002 model.....would only get rid of it if I bought another Evo or no longer needed a wagon...........

Is a 2003 (before November) NM35 too old?

2003 might have to be , i dont really see any visual differences between 2003 and say 2006 models ????

i've only started and im already pissed , government , there are shitbox commodores & falcons and others belching crap out their exhausts ,but thats ok , but to bring in a technically more advanced vehicle , you get a smack on the wrist ,for f**k sake , sorry about the swearing ,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

The easiest way to tell the difference between the NM35 (2001-2004) and the PM35 (2004-2008) is in the headlights and grill.

Gotta say though, that 2004 Axis kit is very nice on the eye - and kinda aggressive at the same time :)

Hope that helps.

Thats what you have to keep in mind though. The visual differences have nothing to do with it. It was the change in ADR's that make them a separate compliance issue. Falcodores may be worse emission wise, but at least they DID actually comply to them when new. Thats all the gubberment cares about, otherwise we would all need to change our cats every year by law at a minimum.

Oh - and Ryan. Baby jeezuz cries everytime someone drills a swaybar :)

That would be mine. :P

It is a 2001 Rs Four V.

Standard suspension with Nismo LMX5 wheels.

No body modifications (yet).

It is actually a very early model NM35 (Aug/Sept 2001 build)

Check out either my Album or Garage (click the link under my Avatar) for more pics.

      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

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.
