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)

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
