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 :)

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By No1 · Posted

      Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.

      At first I thought these were knock offs....

      Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I said "Matlab clone". I could throw one onto one of my linux VMs. Probably only take 10 or 20 hours to sort out the dependencies, relearn how to use it, etc etc.
