But I need to finish the c34 off again first chuck the rest of the goodies that I got in and then the new engine build is planned for jan , so ready when the old one dies lol , more killa wasps

I think my S1 will still be running after WW3....in 18 months Ive rebuilt the suspension and steering, slapped a rebuilt turbo on it and put a shift kit in. That breathed new life into a soggy auto wagon. Probably should have waited and spent the coin on a S2 manual back in the day.....

Haha, good name for a thread Toby. :P

I feel like a thief its by far been the greatest mod to date!!

Can only imagine what the commercial performance shop would charge for this upgrade on a customers vehicle.

Cheers bloke

I just don't know about this nm35 cosmetic looks and improvments all good ill continue on, but as far as performance mods starting to think there like throwing money down the pokies , you might get a little return now and then but nothing like what you throw into it lol. I'm not looking forward to the day the turbo goes, coz I know there will be no way ill replace it with a standard! And that leads to everything else getting done lol

First im new owner of this bus but long time car nut....

Cant say ive ever seen a vehicle that is cheap to mod!! Different Horses for different courses.. Right?

I feel the fact nm35 has limited mod allowances prevents the crazy $$ on cars that you see up on the hoist or in the corner for 6/12 months in every performance workshop or owner garage.

Not to mention the seemingly willing crowd of owners to share tried & tested upgrades in great detail at no cost!!!

Bang 4Buck?

Looks pretty clear to me.

But i guess I'm like yourself in that I cant make this complete assumption until the package planned is assembled installed and I get to enjoy it everyday.

Considering the expansive range of performance parts on offer (compared to when I started down that road), you guys have no issues modifying the M35. You should have seen the (non existent) range 5 years ago.

Price wise, the performance parts are on par with any other car imo, unless some Chinese bloke is pumping out crap products as with the Skyline...

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
