Hey folks,

So Saturday we ended up purchasing a Stagea...

We checked out the Axis from All Imports, all seemed fine, but we decided against it. The whole situation seemed far to sketchy...

So we cut our loses, saved some money, and got a 250t RS Four from (next door) Japlink Motors. The fact the complied their cars there, mechanics were there, etc. I felt a bit more confident buying from there.

The interior needs a little love, but its nothing major. A good detail in and out and it would look at lot better.

A got a few questions about replacing things, and questions in general, but I'm not sure exactly right now...

I'll post some better pictures later on, but for now this will have to do.

Thanks guys. I'm pretty happy with the purchase.

As for the rims, I dunno hey. I will have a close look later and see if there is anything.

I'm happy with it.

I would like to tidy the interior up a little bit, and I found that tutorial to change the LED's in the dash and console, I'd like to do that eventually (despite knowing f**k all about auto-electronics)

Coming from a fan of VIP, I'd love to see this close to the ground as possible with some nice rims, wild offset, but for practicality reasons, I'm not sure I will venture that path...

Also, is it known with these for the headlights to go yuck. As in they aren't clear and have a haziness appearance to them. It's not bad, but it just pisses me off. I know a few models of cars a notorious for it, might replace one day

Bloody expensive to replace, just polish them with some plastic cleaner/polish, I use the two Meguiars ones and it works great. If the inside is milky you will need to bake the lights to remove the cover and polish the inside.

Apart from the exhaust, any other mods?

Nah, not that I am aware of anyways lol...

Yeah, I'm not to sure if its inside or not. I haven't really checked it out, just sorta noticed it and kept going lol

Looks nice Chris!

I do like that colour coding on the sides and rear bumper and that factory rear spoiler adds a nice finish to the rear.

Welcome.

I agree. Looks awesome. I was holding off putting on my front aero bar until I'd got those other bits but seeing your standard one's done up I'm sold. Booking mine in next week >_<

That rear spoiler doesn't do your Stag justice. . . let me take that ugly thing off your hands. . lol

Seriously though does anyone know where you can order those rear spoilers. .

Nice buy, Chris! Welcome to the Stagea ownership world!

Japlink have been around for ages, so you shouldn't have too many troubles with them, AFAIK.

Thanks, Glad to be apart of it haha

Well they have been pretty helpful so far, and I have read mostly positive reviews about them..

Welcome aboard, hope you enjoy your new purchase :laugh:

So far I am. Its funny seeing the other C34 Stagea owners snap their necks whilst driving to see this. As far as I know I'm the only M35 owner in town atm.

NICE!!!

Get some springs into it and your there.

I dunno whether to get springs, or hold off, and get airbags down the track. My driveway into the garage is not low car friendly. My LS400 struggled to get in, I've ground a fair bit of the concrete with her lol.

Good shite. What aero bar?

Yeah, I've made a cardboard replica, and used some Faber-Castel connector pens to colour it in. Should look close to the original :down:

Thanks for all the kind words. I'm really loving it. Once I can start fixing some shabby bits, and make it a nice car should be good...

I've got a question, the pop-up screen that comes in the a few of the models standard, can you buy those?

Mine has this after-market Sony one, looks shit, and the piece of crap doesn't work (even if I get it to work, looks like shit)

Funny story already, showing my Fiances brother the car (which he thinks is awesome, he thought I was getting a C34 and has never seen an M35 before lol) a guy driving down the street in a Liberty real slow, almost comes to stop, looks at the car, looks at us, goes "WWWOOOWW" then drives off. Pretty random and funny.

Since it is a factory spoiler from the Aero kit, I would say Nissan can help you out (just get the part number for them :laugh:)

Or you could talk to Aaron at Import Monster or Jesse Streeter... Either could send one over for you :laugh:

Yep, again jump on the Import Monster website to browse Yahoo Auctions.

You will need to make sure you get the screen, bracket assembly, DVD ROM and possibly the centre console (there are usually one or two complete sets available)

I've never used Import Monster before, but what would be the best terms to search for these? I don't even know what its called.

EDIT : I just typed in M35, finding everything from Toasters to Machine Guns...

I did find these, the look way cool, but expensive!

Just found this page...

Try this then (just copy and paste)

ステージア m35

It will filter out all the mircoscopes & machine guns.

Another way would be to use the menu on the left of the screen to sort through categories.... you can miss stuff this way though

Be wary with headlights with Angel eyes.... the majority of the time they require you to send your headlights over for modifying... and shipping costs on headlights is really nasty.

You will also need the "Navi DVD ROM" which is the brains for the unit... I am of course assuming you want the info that gets displayed on the popup screen (fuel economy, servicing etc)

EDIT: Dunno if that will be compatible with a normal head unit either... I don't believe that the integrated unit was available for the RS (you would probably have the single DIN head unit and the 3 gauge cluster (torque split, battery charge, boost)

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
