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.

      Surely, just about any shop that has done a Skyline (or Supra, or RX-7, or EVO, or WRX) will have done E85. But perhaps you need to specify what type of car, what type of engine, what ECU, you propose to be using.

      Try an oil additive. There's a couple of options for "easier shifting". These are essentially a similar idea to what Redline put into their Shockproof gear oils. I had a 2nd hand R33 (in fact, as of right now, it is still in the car) that simply would not engage any gear with the engine running, with normal gear oil in it. We dropped that and replaced it with Shockproof lightweight, and suddenly the gear lever did what it was supposed to. At a cost, of course, of the then ongoing damage to internals done by running Shockproof. But the synchros were already totally uninterested in life, so there was no loss.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      I see what you posted, but how could a warning light be going on and off if there is no sender for it?  The only other explanation is that the wire that used to go to the sender from the warning light is earthing somehow in the loom or at the connector, or that you have connected the warning light wire to something (maybe the temp sender?).

      The original pressure sender (switch) had the standard connector and the temp sender had the single terminal connector also. The pressure switch is gone and those wires eliminated from the harness.  I left the temp wire as I too used the temp sender to plug the extra hole. I was hoping for an easy answer but I guess I'm going to need to trace some wires to see where my ghost oil pressure light voltage is coming from or maybe I'll just pull the bulb out as there's no pressure switch any longer.
