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:

+1, +1, +1 :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.

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
