hmm...380RS sounds nice...but it just reminds me of the Mitsubishi 380...it's the first thing that comes to mind

but nevertheless..if nissan/autech made a Stagea 380RS - it would really give the Audi RS6 Advant a kick in the pants and a run for is money.

I'm not a big fan of the M35 rear but the quad pipes at the bottom does set it off a little bit

I was not a fan of the rear of the M35 either, until I watched the Nissan mechanic burble his way in my M35 into the service area.

Don't know what it was, the car just looked ready to take off!...

That being said, there is still something that is "not right" to me when I look at it.

I don't think that it is the reflectors that go to the roof, but probably more the red reflector around the reversing lights (maybe)... Would probably look better if they were colour-coded (can't quite justify the wallet-rape for the Dolphin covers though).

Yeah unreal idea... how can nissan ignore something like this? Wagons are becoming such a big thing when it comes to performanc cars, Audi's RS6 wagon and RS4 Wagon (estates or avants whatever they are) E63 wagon, M5 Wagon... people want performance car wagons!! GET ON IT NISSAN :)

I did this quick photochop of the rear, no offence to the 35 lovers but i just can't stand the lights that go up the back pillar makes them look more of a volvo in my opinion. If they got rid of those and it acutally had the GTR engine and running gear it id have one for sure! would def have to be the 360RS tho... what else haha

Now I would buy that. Those Tercel/Volvo tail lights really turn me off the 35. For safety I would fit a spoiler with stop light.

I wonder how hard it would be to do this mod? Any ideas?

front cut R35 GTR rear end write-off: 50k?

M35 good gond, front end wreck: 10k? or cheap import 20k

engineering etc, 20k plus surely on the cheap side

finished on road with custom flared rear guards, kit etc, 100k is my guess at the least, based on finding a front cut R35 from middle of roof/chassis forward and actually engineering the chassis as a half-replacement for the M35.......

100k todays money might be falling short tho

but give it a few yrs and when there are more R35 wrecks around it'd be worth a shot. :)

Yep, $50k minimum for an R35 halfcut for the moment - but they'll come down in price. With that said, I wonder what the compatibility between the two are like, as the R35 was specifically developed seperate to the rest of the Skyline platforms I believe? Would make it a hell of an engineering job :(

Couple more pics. This thing is HOT!

Having another look... Sorry, can't help it.

Those are not stock M35 doors either.

I was so happy with my Stagea before I saw this. Now.. I feel incomplete

And those doors are definitely not even close to stock. Damn they did a good job of this

youre gonna need more than the front cut of an R35, the gearbox is in the back! youll probably need that bit ;)

Hopefully in time someone would engineer a complete kit like the masa r34gtr front (that was easier though as the 34gtr was based on the skyline platform). Now just cut the roof off and make it a ute and that would be sweet. I still think the c34 series were meant to be utes and not wagons! And as sweet as this is (it actually makes me want to buy an M35) I'd still take a wgnc34 ute with a r34 front any day!

But seriously, what's the point when you only put a kit on instead of a proper R35 front cut? All show and no go :nyaanyaa:

That's what i am thinking - just kit for the front not an actual front cut - to be honest I like the look of it - does not matter if it is a no go car -

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out

      OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By Black_CSR · Posted

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
