What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

Haha, yeah but both unmodified and lightly modified I can confirm that the series 2 is a far superior car.

Only thing the series one has over it is power... but if you go into heavy modified versions of each, I would suspect that the series 2 would have it all over the series 1 there as well.

lol if you had spare 20K......then you might be bumping the back door of Scott's car!.......for 5K on an NM35 you'd be getting close too!

PNM35 is how much....I've seen NM35's for as low as 9K.

I drove a PNM35 on the weekend....it lack's power!.....newer is nicer as it should be but needs a lot more powerZ.

not as good as mine!!!

Yea, but you got LSD n hicas with full adjustable BC's, just the three main things I won't ever have. :P also your car is a beast on four wheels.

Haha owned.

HA! heaps owned. So Brick, hows your handling going? :D Read somewhere you live around the northern beaches? Can't believe I haven't spotted you yet, I live in Collaroy before was Brookvale.

All I can really put some money into and expect better gains is in handling, which was all I was trying to say. :P

And the VQ25det was going to be so expensive to rework into something that would meet emissions standards that Nissan replaced it with the Camry-fighting n/a V6 from the Maxima which continued to be produced and developed in many models for many years....

wait. Thats the VQ35.

:P

Fixed

Haha, sensitive. Never said it was a dollar for dollar exercise, just saying that a throwing money at an NM35 vs throwing money at a PNM35 will result in the PNM35 giving the greater performance.

Yes, it will take less for the NM35 but I was referring to heavily modifying.

Also, to answer your question, you should be able to get PNM35's landed for around 11k although they will be around 150,000-180,000kms old (about the same age, or younger, than most nm35's prior to the magical wind back... just without the mechanical issues :P)

More power would be nice though... hmm, I seem to recall saying that with the NM as well so maybe it would just be a recurring thought regardless of where my car is at lol

landed is different to landed and complied!

....5K on and NM35 is going to go a shit load faster and have greater economy than on a PNM true or false?

There will soon be a heavily modified NM35 from Mercury Motorsport smashing PNM35's like glass bottles against a wall!!!......mind you it would matter if you put that driveline in the NM or PM because other than the dash it would still be the same car.

BAM!!!!

Also forgot to add the part about being in the top 10 ward's BEST engine list for 4 years. :D

Can't see VQ25DET anywhere in there?? How could they miss that? xD.

LOL...cognitive dissonance much? You do realise that the Ward's list is based only on USDM cars...

Im sure if the VQ25DET was in production for the same amount of time the VQ35DE has been i'm sure it would have been.

The 25DET is much the same as the 30DD in the sedans in the fact that it was only in production for 3/4 years and mostly got pushed aside from the hype of the 35DE and didnt really get to show its potential.

I'm sure once I get around to bolting up my sway bars it will handle pretty good. TBH though I'm bot that unhappy anyways.

    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
    • Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).
    • Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance
    • Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
