I got through the last 2 summmers here in Adelaide but this one I have replaced the radiator (the top tank split) and the car is waiting on a new turbo but apart from that it is a great car.

It can be a bit sluggish in the heat I just dont boost it that hard.

Never had to regas aircon and it is still super cold

And car never ran hot except for the radiator problem

I think a bigger intercooler is a must for next summer

Mines not as pokey as it normally is, but expected. .

AC could do with a regas, has anyone needed to regas their M35 at all. .

Nope, never had a re-gas and is still awesomely cold :)

i was gonna do this lol

Aaron, puhleeeeeeze don't get Andy started on a water spray for the intercooler

(although I did agree it was a good idea)

Andy get started! lol

I would only want it to spray as Im accelerating, or in a more proper way to come on when i get to 10psi.

but is it gonna give me much of a gain seeing as the temp sensor is in the AFM? which will back the timing out if its hot anyway..

run a hose into the washer bottle and use that one. or piss off the rear washer hose and use that motor.

or put in a valve to activate the front spray instead of going to the rear.

there are plenty of options!

mmm.... all controlled by the factory stalk.

I like.

Plus the way the rear dribbles water out is practically useless anyway.

I await flaiming for this.

I found a very small twig off a tree, and strategically shoved it in the nozzle of the jet. My luck it sprayed perfectly around the window and wiper, until it fell out and went back to the useless dribble.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
