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.

    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
    • This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too  
    • hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy
