Priced high 'cause it looks nice. A few guys here that own M35's and used to own M35's have been out to look at it and all said that it looks quite rough. I'd like to see it, but be stuffed flying u

stephen looked at it, i havent, and wont bother after his comments to me about it. its too cheap for a 2003 model with that mileage and the mods/additions on it. be wary of it if you do go to look at

Typed a lengtly reply and internet played up and it didn't save. Km's are fudged, I'm pretty sure of this, car is not as neat as you would expect for a 2003 with only 42,000 km's on the clock. Even t

well im glad you saw this first.

if your planning on doing a Body kit.. dont get an ARX lol..

i want to change my front bar now but its a bitch with the wheel arches....

:( I still love my POS though..

LOL, stop complaining, I have already told you what you can do, bud.

Axis front bar and colourcode as Craig and Dale said... BUT you will need a custom grill (or the Axis grill and bonnet ornament).

Then just cut the "bling" parts out of the Axis front bar and mesh behind the new openings. Lots of air for coolers etc and no bling.

OR you could always just buy a Nismo front bar (I know you love 'em) and get a GOOD body shop to add some fibreglass to the sides so it lines up with your arches.

Thats my plan, and the same with a rear bar.. maybe later though?

Mate just a head's up.....both the dealer's you were looking are a bit how's it going. I have seen both those yards stock about three time's and I personally would give them a miss. In saying that get the inspections done by the NRMA or similar ......whatever you do don't rush the purchase even if they start pressuring you saying there are other people interested(there are plenty of other good ones out there!....not saying that the car you are looking at is no good....just saying that if there was a problem they would more than likely not tell you. On the other hand I have heard that Nagoya does look after warranty claim's during that period!

It's worth paying a little more for a good car just quietly.....I learnt the hard way!

I am gong to Nagoya tomorrow and miss a day from work just to check again then northshore - hopefully this time I am on the ball

I haven't heard anything good or bad about Northshore or Nagoya.

I got my car from Japlink motors, Very happy with the car and after sales service, I had one minor problem (O2 sensor died) replaced two days later and was given a car to drive for the day while they worked on the car.

Well I made my enquiries and it ends up the silver Sa based RS is the only M35 in SA and sold.

So now i have to either talk to Chef about importing one or go interstate.

If I can find a decent one interstate, and get it inspected, I will go down that route simply because its faster. If not Ill have to import one. Not thrilled about a 2+ month wait but I guess itll be worth it.

Unfortunately if she's had the KM's doctored in some way it's usually done before it hits the auction house and any log books it might have had mysteriously go missing. In this situation the papers will only show the false KM's from the auction.

One of the hardest things to do when you're a car nut is to buy with your head and not your heart.

This car may not be the righ one but there will be plenty more, don't rush it and you will enjoy the car for years to come.

My 2c anyway,

Jas

Most of the time its done here in Australia not overseas.

i got 18's on mine, i think i would rather have something along the lines of 19-20 to fill the front guards. as the 18's look a little silly still. the rears are ok with 18. but you will obviously need the same size all round..

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
