Hello all. I am a noob in the Stagea world, having just picked up a stock m35 for 20 gs with 70,000 kms.

Just bought it 3 days ago and picking it up this weekend(yay)! I actually only heard of the Stags 2 days b4 buying one, prior to that I was planning to pick up a v8 Holden Adventra.

When my friend pointed the Stag out to me I was stoked, I didn't really want a holden or ford as I am Nissan thru and thru, but need a wagon to replace my Pathy as its getting on and I want luxury as well as space for family!!

I live in Brisbane's bayside, and am curious if there are many others of our kind getting round here, I would love to do a Tambourine run someday soon!!

Looking 4ward to chatting guys!

Good call - I'd hate to think how thirsty the LS1 Adventra would be...

Welcome to the 'club' of luxury import 'wagonning' (to all you M35 owners - don't forget that the '96 S1 was where it all started!)

You'll be very happy with your purchase, and the depreciation isn't to shabby either.

Another M35 in brissie - welcome!! :sick:

Great choice too. I've not driven a holden lately but compared to ford falcons (wagon especially) the stagea gives a much better ride (in my admittedly biased opinion) - better handling, and more power. And for the first time, the M35 now delivers more torque than the falcon too.

You'll enjoy it I'm sure. :laugh:

Where abouts on the bayside are you

Redlands area - Victoria point. Don't think there are many Stags down this way, even less likely to be many m35s. But that's what I like - owning a car and not parking next to the car model in the shopping carpark.

P.S. pics soon - I don't pick up car til Saturday

You can probably still view it here:

I live in Victoria Point as well. I have a half finished C34 with R34 GTR front.

I never drive it on the street. I think I have done less than 1500k's in 2 1/2 years of owning it.

I will PM you my address. Drop around for a look and chat if you want. I would like to have a good look at a M35 up close.

There is 1 other white s2 C34 in Vic Point as well.

Looks like we "Volvo" drivers are gaining numbers!

You guys modding or staying stock?

Pics of cars guys (or create a Garage).

Looking good!! Thats an awesome price considering the current market conditions. I bought mine when the exchange rate was at its best - just before things started heading south. I think if you'd bought the same car back then it'd be pretty close to what I paid - so yeah I'm impressed that you're getting one for that price from a dealer.

I've noticed a lot of M35 prices dropping lately, but I dont think they'll drop much below $20K for some time yet.

Looks like we'll need to have a brissie cruise sometime :)

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
