So... sitting back looking at my car i though there are some damn cool parts about it that you don't find on many cars, these parts are numerous and interesting... but whats the COOOLEST part? So a poll is afoot!

Lets take a couple of days worth of suggestions to go in the poll then we'll vote.

I'd like to put forward;

1. The bifolding centre consol - so rad!

2. Folding back seat leavers - just damn handy!

3. Falling rear windows - looks super summer cool with all glass down

the popup screen. ohh and heated seats. and the reverse camera.

I do like the pop up screens! heated seats and reverse cameras are for mums though :thumbsup: haha think cool wall on TopGear, doesn't need to be functional much or pretty just COOL :thumbsup: each to their own though ill pop those ones on the poll :yes:

Auto-closing boot. Not sure if its the coolest but its worth having in the poll.

note that the rear windows in the M35 dont fall down like the C34 does. they stay level and only open half way. I prefer the C34 way, just gets attention from people :thumbsup:

is someone jealous they dont have these functions??? :thumbsup:

My favourite feature is that it has no traction control, it's more tail happy than my old man's '06 Holden VZ ss ute.

I can't stop it from getting the ass out on wet days!

??

is yours RWD? I thought the RWD stageas did have TCS.

The AWD ones will step the back out round a corner in the wet/dry if you plant it but in a straight line good luck getting any wheelspin, wet or dry.

how about "so many different configurations/options" on the list. is that a feature?

This button is the coolest part on the Stagea - it can do SO many things :thumbsup:

Lol, if you read the earlier post regarding that button!!

Nobody mentioned twin sunroofs!!! Not many cars will give you that one. :thumbsup:

hmm, I'll take the AWD anyday!

Coolest feature

Turbo blowing up :yes:

the car forces u to mod it

YES!... but where does it end?

I didn't realise that when my turbo blew up, my car required so many thing to make it "run" properly :thumbsup:

I'm for the motorised boot lid. Oh! and the turbo.

Doesn't everyone love the self closing boot?

What about the dual opening rear (get your minds out of the gutter Stephen/Iain/Me) - window and door!

Auto-closing boot. Not sure if its the coolest but its worth having in the poll.

What is the story with the auto closing boot, how do you know if you have that? Is it an m35 thing?

I would like to add the auto dipping rear view mirrors and the bose sub in the spare wheel.

Oh and just the other day i found the hidden cup holders for the rear seats under the middle of the rear seat.

afaik it's not standard in the m35.

The dual opening rear is the main reason I got the car.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
