I'm in adelaide and have an M35 ARX if you're interested in checking it out or asking any more questions.

I bought mine in NSW and drove it back, but recently took it to Sinergy on Main North Road for some repairs. They were really helpful - diagnosed and fixed the problem and seemed to know what they were talking about. They had a gold ARX in the yard there, but I didn't look very closely at it.

Why not?

I am in VIC and have had a hand in moving 4 M35's (so far) from Ben at Northshore Prestige.

I only noticed where he lived after I'd made the post, some people won't look interstate for cars, is all.

Indeed... and a lot of people miss out on a car that fits their needs perfectly because of such a narrow mind set.

You're not wrong. Plus, instant road trip! I reckon the first road trip you do in one of these will leave you in no doubt you bought the right car :D

i read somewhere that automatic subarus (the current ones) arent AWD till the fronts start slipping. manuals are constant AWD. not sure how much truth there is to this however.........

as far as I know its all mechanical in these cars - ie. no fancy computer controlling it and nowhere near as complex as ATTESA. The technical stuff appeals to me, even though in the back of my mind I know that you're probably no more likely to slip in the subaru...

I cant speak for the subaru's (only been in a couple of ~2001 model sedans - which i found pretty basic) but the stagea handles extremely well for a wagon and possibly better than a lot of sedans.

My ARX is on its way to me from North Shore Prestige Sydney to Perth, just checked and its due in Adelaide tomorrow! ETA is 5th November... I cant wait!

Its a Grade 4, 03 model with 39000ks on it with quite a few factory options - Bose sound system, ECTS2 TV?, Safety Pack (extra airbags and 3 point seatbelt on rear middle seat, Nissan security system. $22k delivered to perth woohoo...

iamhe77 helped me spot this car at NSP, it had only been advertised for 2 days.

NSP have a Black ARX coming in a few weeks.

Yeah, I noticed the gold AR-X at Synergy. Nice car but too pricey IMO. Hell, why is it that most cars from Adelaide are more expensive than cars interstate? :(

Personally, I wouldn't mind buying a one way ticket to Victoria or even NSW, buy the car and then drive it back. One hell of a road trip - and i get to save a few grand as well.

I'm looking for a wagon with lots of room and good performance. Maintenance issues doesn't concern me since I am a mechanic. Are spare parts for the Stag freely available? I heard somewhere that the transmission costs 15K or so to replace brand new from Nissan.

I'm leaning more towards the Stag at the moment since it is more unique where as the Scoob is a dime a dozen.

How does the Scoobs power and handling is compared with the Stag? I haven't driven the Scoob or the Stag yet so I don't know, but I've driven the 350 GT-8. Is the Scoob similar to the 350GT-8?

15k for a gearbox???? i found a m35 on ebay that had minor tbone for 8k the lot( leather and all)

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
