Bought a 2003 M35 today :(

Got a fairly good price on it imo, $15,250 inc on roads.

Grabbed this one:

Bit of minor body damage - scratches but no dents. Took it for $15,250 which I was happy with. Apparently they had them sitting there not moving as they weren't advertised online so to make room for new cars they slashed the prices and put em online.

Judging by the average prices on carsales and such for this year, model with these factory options (no sunroof, but I don't want or need one) and these kms I see advertised for $19k-$22k plus on roads.

I shall post photos as soon as I take ownership on the 13th - I'm going to Melbourne so picking it up the day after I get back. Yes, useless post but none of my friends know what a Stagea is nor would they care :)

Well done.

Seems like a good buy.

There's no doubt you will enjoy it.

No doubt Chris, you'll be the one doing the alarm install :) Dunno how good your memory is but a few years back I was considering getting a skyline and spoke to you about alarms for the skylines and you seemed like the man for the job on a skyline so it follows that you're the man to see for a stagea!

Ohhh, of course final purchase is subject to a full inspection from a mechanic. I don't know enough about these (or any models) to inspect.

On a side note, does anyone know who I'd see about getting a full cage installed (not just cargo barrier + gates). I am not entirely sure who can legally install such a thing (and create it) as I imagine it probably involves welding onto the car body. I don't mean specific people, just what occupation deals with such things as there wont be a ready made product to suit.

Bought a 2003 M35 today :P

Thats a very good price!! Mine had 40,000 less km on the clock and was only ~$1K more last october (excl onroads), but that was directly imported through a friend, so getting it for that price from a dealer is very good!!

Enjoy it, they're a very nice car - particularly considering the price. No other wagon comes close to offering the same level of features/quality for anywhere near this price.

Sorry to hyjack the thred. But Chris what soughta prices would i be looking at for a half decent alarm/imobiliser installed? I'm in brissy too. Would it be a weekend job?

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
