I got auto folding mirrors......

and an ioniser, that we pulled out after 5 minutes of ownership..

Momo half wood steering wheel, wood trim centre console, Panasonic sat/nav, that is circa 2003, in a 2001 car, wind deflectors, including rear one on boot, also number plate trims that are now stored in the boot, as a VIC numberplate is too wide to use it...

and the usual non funtioning 6-disc CD with ER0 message...

Still love it...

:bunny::banana:

Didn't take you long to post after picking it up mate!

You free on Sunday? Would love to come and have a look-see.

Missus happy?

Interested in letting go of that Ioniser?

I also got 4 little blue lights that shine up from the pilars at night they look really cool and does anyone have the silver buttons with the red triangle. there is one on the driver door you just tap it with your finger and the window goes down about 5mm each time and there is one for emergency blinkers

My wife has the 2002 NM35, It has some snow package so it only has one reverse light the other is a fog light. The snow control is down by the shifter I think it also turns on heated mirrors outside. It has inteligent cruise control (buttons located on right coloum of steering wheel), dual sun roofs, It also has a remote by the cup holders that turn either or both of the front cameras on viewed on the pop up screen while parking. It was also fitted with mats and sunoof and window wind shields.

that makes two cars I had read about now.

I want your chassis number :)

want to do a parts list up for this :)

though I have a feeling mine will probably work out cheaper.

he means the japanese one not the aussie one, its on the silver square plate to the left of the engine. thats the long silver aussie chassis number.

The Japanese one is NM35-309181.

The only difference is that all imports have the 6U90000 added once complied

My ARX had the safety pack, which is 6 air bags including side curtin and center rear lap sash seat belt.

Plus the TV, and Navi option.

Cheers

andy what year is your arx? they get good stars in side, full frontal and offset -- but the safety package would be brilliant...

It is 03/03.

The safety pack is great with kids as it has the extra full lap sash seat belt for the center seat.

I almost got to find out how safe it is, as a car last night did not give way to me in a round about and almost took the front end off the car. :pirate:

Volvo hoon!

to give a better idea, the JNCAP rating for the M35 stagea is 4 stars for the driver and 5 for passengers I believe. JNCAP ratings are out of a total of 6.

The rating methodology is also different between different countries and the rules also change with time as more and more safety features are expected to become standard equipment on cars, so its probably not possible to compare directly to ANCAP ratings...

However, ANCAP ratings are out of a total of 5. This puts the stagea at about 4 stars. Still a good result, especially when compared to other wagons of the same year. For example all Ford Falcons up to (but not including) the current model were 4 stars. The holden commodore including the VE is also 4 stars.

What it means though is that even with 4 stars, the stagea is going to offer a pretty good level of safety in a collision. To get 5 points it would likely need side curtain airbags and some fancy buzzwords after the title (ie. ESP etc).

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
