Spoken like someone living with regret ??? BTW, how's it going mate?

I wonder if it's a Melbourne thing? If Scotty announces he's selling, the whole M35 world will implode... tear in T/S continuim & all that

No way, ive put too much time into mine to fail so hard now. lol.

Even for guys who haven't invested as much, the M35 is such a brilliant car in so many ways, not the least it's practical - even for non family people - that there's very little to compare (nothing for the money). I can't think of one other car I could buy right now that would replace mine.

When you factor in the rarity (how many were made?); if you want a fairly unique, performance, luxury wagon for not a lot of $, what else would you buy?

PM35?

^^^^^^^

that....NM35 is way to fragile in some area's and an orphan...........if you do get a electrical problem it way to hard to sort out!....PM35 is a lot easier IMO!

Not having a working car for the past 5 weeks has pushed me to the edge.....considering the thing was F#$KING finished!.....f$%King F#$k f$%kety F#$k.rant.gif

P.S. Aaron....you made the right choice(maybe not in the car you chose :P)......imagine if you still had the black POS....you would be walking just like me atm!

all you guys are preaching to the choir. Yes I love the car...of course I don't want to get rid of it. But our renovations have gone waaaay over budget and we still need $$$ for furnishings. Plus I'm loosing my license for 6+ months starting this Friday...:blush:

IF I don't sell this car then we'll have to sell the family car, the Grandis. That means my wife will be driving the Stag as her daily, and considering her accident rate/driving skills, the stag will get wrecked in no time.

I'll rather sell it to someone who will appreciate it, make some $$$, and maybe when I get my license back I'll get another one. Maybe....:ph34r:

HA! lol no regret, as i needed to get out of a family car.. but definitely cannot wait to get into another one down the track.

i dont think scott will ever sell the thing, at his house the other day he was so excited just talking about the amount of engines he has lying around.. plus if scott was to sell, I would be to buy

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
