Over the Xmas break we started doing some renovation work on the house and as people had told me: once you start fixing up one thnig the other bits look like crap and you just need to keep going :)

So I'm starting to think about selling the M35 to a: free up some cash (buy a crappy run around for half the price) b: save some money on petrol.

The other option could be to start riding the push bike to work I guess but I recently moved jobs and it's a lot further away. I guess the other thing is if I keep the Stag I'll be so tempted to just keep spending moneyey on it, I mean there's a nice grill going on IM at the moment, and that spoiler, and the........... you get the idea.

I don't want to sell it but it's feeling like the right move.... thoughts

If you can get a halfway decent price sell it and get a Toyota Corolla or something. In a few years when you have stopped spending money on the house you can use the equity in the house to get yourself a nice M35 again!

Shame you have to sell up mate, always a bad thing :P Just sold one of my project cars for a washing machine and other household items :D

You woulden't be interested in selling the aero front bar would you?

Not wedded to it going with the car, so can entertain offers. Will just knock a bit off the car price. PM with an offer if you like. Happy to start the discussion and I'll tell you I would just cost recover on it as I don't care about making a profit. Shoot me a PM if you like.

Ouch why don't you just kick me in the nuts! While I appreciate the super reliability of Toyotas offerings and like some of their cars a lot; Corollas and Camrys in stock form are for people who don't like cars. Boring, boring, super boring, A to B transport. If a cardboard box was safe enough, had wheels and was light on the juice there'd be a Camry driver in it. :P

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
