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).

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
