keep the info commin ;) another quick question whats the go with the little arial on the front of some stags? also anyone in canberra have a m35 :) seen one gettin around and a couple of c34's

Arial is just to let the driver know where the passenger front corner is instead of guessing/estimating

If it is a silver M35 in Canberra, it could very well be Houdini's.

Edward Lee's? Almost got sucked into buying a 180sx from them early last year, came to my senses before spending the money though.

So many bad stories about a lot of the places on parramatta road though, most of them are as bad as each other.

Spot on. I bought an S13 silvia from them about 10 years ago. Didnt miss a beat. Was the most reliable car ive owned, even more reliable than my accord euro! They even fixed a problem that could have gone either way. So i went back.

This M35............. they couldnt appear to care less. Im keeping the car but ill get it fixed at my own cost as there is less hassle and i dont have to deal with the dopes that work there. last time i spoke to an ex-employee there, a lot of the old staff members had left. smart move!

In my opinion, if you are happy with the power now, don't put bigger wheels in it, unless you have plans to install an Emanage down the track. Otherwise you will gain lag and bugger all extra power. These boats are laggy enough already with the crappy throttle ramp and ecu protection.

just took the m35 out for a proper night run with its new HDI fmic.. goes well.

I actually thought the vq25dets were alot slower than 4.0litre auto xr6 turbo fords.

I raced one to 100 from the lights at the entrance of the freeway and stayed a car length ahead the whole time. I was honestly suprised.

The guy followed me all the way to the off ramp then signalled to wind down my window and said "whats in that?"

I was tempted to say "volvo power!" then just boot it. but i said "VQ25DET" and he just scoffed.. i wonder if he knew what it was?

ahh i love this car.

*evil laugh* :thumbsup:

Seller states it's an AR-X in the title. I thought the AR-X had flared plastic wheel arches, 18" wheels and higher ride height. That one doesn't.

I see it's listed as an RS-250 Four further down.

always has me worried when the seller doesnt know what there selling however in the description of car says its an rs with ar-x interior so maybe just did it to get atention to that detail?

I have a Ba non turbo at moment but my cousin has a xr6t and if these can keep up with them :thumbsup:

- RS Four so it won't have dual climate control (RX, ARX and Axis did though)

- Does look like it has the safety pack (6 airbags)

- I would enquire as to what "low km's" are as the rear leather seats look quite used (I have the same leather interior) although they do crease easily if the seats are folded down a lot of the time.

- May not have HICAS either due to being an RS, but this may have been an option on the RS - can't remember

$16,800 with 12 months rego and 3yr parts and labour Australia wide sounds good.... just make sure it covers the turbo :P... and that they service the transmission with the correct fluid (Nissan Matic J) as dextron III compatible fluids with destroy your transmission very, very quickly

that one in the drive.com.au link is a 250t RS FOUR

no aircon vents in the rear means RS.

good to hear your car is quick with a few mods keir :P

Yeha i was suprised as he was .. being a ute against the 2T wagon.. but someone did tell me the xr6T utes are alot slower than the sedans and not much lighter..so not sure.

:P

As long as you have the Google Toolbar installed and setup to translate Jap to English,(or something similar), I've found this site to be invaluable for the various spec levels and options available for M35's from 2001 through to 2007.

no series 1 M35 has dual zone climate control dude. series 2 i cant comment.

HICAS was an option on RS and AXIS (i think), always fitted to ARX and was not an option on RX. Same as LSD AFAIK.

Really? Series 2 definitely has dual zone, but I thought that the ARX had it... oh well, there you go.

Have a 2002 ARX - thats Series 1 isn't it? Has dual zone climate control and the works. Only missed out on the cruise control - as my son said when he handed back the keys - good luck keeping your licence without it! (Do a fair bit of hwy driving)

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
