Hello Stagea owners.

Just picked up a 02 M35. Reading as much as possible from here before parting with the $$

I just went for the base model RS-4 Silver. Clean cloth black interior, not a mark on the roof. Dead straight panels. 60K mileage. Suspension is quite, tyres brand new. Stereo is simple. Something to get me to the snows this year. Everything works. Probably will get the Engrish conversion done down the track.

Purchased from dealer.

Love the room in it, and the lack of unwanted attention. Down low it is alot more responsive than I expected. More comfortable than the leather V35 seats.

What is Synchro mode however?

Previously owned a V35 Skyline and a S15.

Shannons Insurance $1180. Over 30. Sydney based.

I looked at an S40 T5 Volvo, but this is much better bang for your buck, and such low genuine kms. Smoother car.

:D

Congratulations on your purchase you,ll get a lot of satisfaction out of the car and also have something a little different to the run of the mill motors.

The syncro button is for locking it in 4wd, perhaps you,ll be able to try it out in the snow, good luck with your Stag.

You should have synchro mode and snow mode (both on the same switch).

Synchro = 50 / 50 power distribution except for when you are idle

Snow = is similiar but it reduces your rev's up to 40km/h or something so you don't bog down.

Do a search, there is a lot of information on these two modes in the forums already.

Snow also cuts your boost..

I was told by the dealer I purchased my RS4 from that syncro mode started the car in 2nd gear to limit wheelspin due to high revs/low gear?

That's "Snow" mode he was (or should have been) talking about.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
