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

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
