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?

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

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
