I wouldnt mind a 260RS! but I gotta get an auto cos wife needs to be able to drive it...

I havent booked the flight yet, car is being inspected by Motacheck today, dealer recommended them - I hope they arent 'affiliated'.

There's usually a flight that arrives around 930am or the next one is just after mid-day, will let yas know cheers!

PM Sent with the details Will (didn't see your thread until now. Sorry)

I have been told that Synergy to actually have pretty good stock.

That Axis kit is not an option from factory for an ARX (as you will see in the PM).

It has been available for a considerable amount time (over a year I think) and $27k is too high IMO.

If I recall correctly, it has Tein suspension, but other than that and the Axis kit, it looks pretty stock to me... although I am confused... Where did the aftermarket screen go?

It was in the rear interior pic, but not in the drivers seat pic.

hmmm.

I was wondering exactly the same...

Looked like one of the "much more useful than OEM" Panasonic units, like mine.

... although I am confused... Where did the aftermarket screen go?

hmmm.

Yep looks like the bose system. Doesn't the screen pop down into the dash?

It has definitely been lowered. The wheels may fill the guards but whats their excuse for the low (ie. non-ARX) ride height?

74000kms is pretty normal. Most freshly imported M35's I've seen are in the 60-80K kms ballpark.

25K seems a little high but then I'm not sure what AR-X's go for...they're definitely a higher spec than the RS and a notch up from the RX too if I remember correctly.

Got them down to 25k, still a premium...

It's advertised as Bose sound system...

Sales dude reckons its standard suspension but because the wheels on arx are higher profile it fills the guards better. :O

:)

Does he realise that while the ARX has 18's as opposed to the RS's 17's, the ARX is also 40mm higher than an RS, RX or Axis?

Definitely check out if it actually is the Bose system. Bose and the standard integrated system look almost identical

?? I thought the standard integrated system IS Bose? There's another AR-X on carsales that has the same one.

Yeah they've got a silver axis there grade 4C with auction papers. K's are too high for my liking though.

I'm not too keen on the suspension being so low, i've heard teins can be quite stiff.

There are three audio systems.

RS gets the Clarion single DIN unit (which allows for the 3 gauge unit or storage compartment)

The RX and ARX all have the integrated dash, but it can be either the Bose option or standard unit (clarion maybe?)

I believe that the Axis models come standard with Bose... but I may be mistaken.

Hey Guys

thanks for all the volunteers to help. The car is in some sort of warehouse.

I paid for an inspection done by Motacheck yesterday.

The car isnt quite what i'm looking for so I wont go to adelaide this weekend.

Main thing is the suspension is so low it bottoms out over smallish bumps. Rear is unstable when driving... inside tyre wear on front tyres... in my opinion could have been a car setup for drift... could explain the replaced front bumper and rear tyres had much less tread left than fronts. Everything else about the car is good though I am a bit fussy.

Today I'm bidding on a grade 4.5 ARX with 28,000ks on it!

cheers

    • Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂 
    • Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?
    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
