Spotted this Volvo in a Maccas drive thru the other week; gave him a toot & told him to get out of the way... Also saw this sweet NM35 while I was driving up a hill a couple of days ago.

So I have had the stag for a while now and my mechanic is into Volvos ... I mean seriously so ... has a V70 drifter with a huge turbo. I gave him a drive and now he wants one. But today my wife gets a phone call from a friend. I work for a charity and we move large sums of money into Asia as part of my job. My wife's friend, who knows this, is concerned. "How can Leigh afford a Volvo like that?" See how having 207KW and awd launch corrupts one? roflmao.

5 cylinder 2.5 l and a sedan body looks like it was clay modeled using cardboard boxes in the design phase! No badges so cannot tell you off the top of my head. He has a V70 which he tows the race car to meets with. I had a silver magna wagon previous to the silver stag, and have also had a friend who isn't into cars much exclaim "Whatja do to your car !???" I told him I put it on a diet which made it smaller but helped it run harder...

Have had my Stagea 5 days now. On the 2nd day of ownership took my friend to the classic car and hot rod show.

Friend - "Didn't you own a sedan?"

Me - "Did, bought a station wagon"

Friend - "What is this a Volvo?" (standing at the back of the Stagea looking at the name badge)

Me - "No, it's a Nissan"

Friend - "Awesome, always liked Stag eee ahhs"

Just had a conversation with a guy and his wife/girlfriend about my car. They stepped out of a R35 GTR - apparently the 4th one delivered to Aus - and were checking out my car for a minute or two, then came over for a friendly chat. It's nice to know that some people appreciate the M35 for what it is. :D

Had some guy come over this afternoon, and when my mum asked him which car was his, he pointed to a black Gen 4 Liberty (or Legacy) Outback. He looked at my car parked in the driveway and said something along the lines of "I was going to get one of these because it is more square at the back so you can fit more stuff, but the Subaru was cheaper..." etc. I'm guessing he thought my car was a Volvo, but I didn't get a chance to ask him.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
