Thought i may aswell post some photos i took from in the car while driving up the mountian..

i did get asked to pull over to put on chains by some woman waving a stick. once pulled over i told the guy it was 4wd.. or awd as i took off (not in snow mode) it gave a good spin, i think the guy loved it..

now for the photos...

So jealous!! I was meant to go down for the weekend - so there would have been another M35 up in the mountains, but had to bail with too much work on!

I went to Niseko, Japan early this year and had the best snow of my life! So im hanging to hit some more pow!

We will have to make it a M35 convoy one weekend. I will be doing a few weekends from late July through to October.

I know there is another m35 (blue one from memory) traveling down to the mountains. Saw it last year just south of Bredbo.

Cheers

Andy

its worth the drive up, tho you need to drive up when its snowing like a mofo down low.. 1000m or so. to get anything like i got anyway..

i'd love to drive up early one morning for some skidz in the carpark.. tho they shut them i hear

hmm AWD snow skidz. any arx owners want to 'upgrade' to an open wheel diff? im happy to do all the work :)

You for got your tag line.... "will F#@k for parts" LOL

It is so much fun in a frozen car parts. Much harder to do it these days as they are all serious now and no fun is allowed.

Hopefully heading up to Bulla this weekend, got all the board clamps n shit sorted for my car now... i don't think there is a more fun perfect car for driving to the snow than the Stag :) 4wheel drifts doing 10khp haha hilarious fun

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
