It will be awhile before any mods. Have to Ninja the mods into the car without the wife knowing about it. Car is now just a nice taxi/shopping trolley which i can engoy.

I know what that feels like.

"Err, just going out to the back shed to sharpen the mower blades"

I've used 66 sets of blades this year.LOL :whistling::cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Got mine trough Geoff from Prestige Motorsport www.prestigemotorsport.com.au

Car came as described + 3 keys + books with all service history

Knowing what I know today I would've bought from Northshore as well not because I regret my purchase but I had to wait a long time and deal with some paper work

Hard to trust the majority of dealers... sad but it's true.

Got even a good example: when I was looking at the auctions in Japan I saw a Black Stagea with a set of 20'' BBS that had 111K on the ODO and it was sold for 425 K Yens. I saw the same car for sale here in Sydey. I sent an email inquiring about it. The sales person told me that the car had only done 47k km and was asking for 27K....

Bought mine through Northshore 5 years ago this September.

Organised a mate's M35 through Ben about a year later and had a hand in a number of other M35's... all from Northshore.

Can't fault Northshore's cars, nor their service (although there was one minor issue with the rear window motor on one).

Hate hearing stuff like that, but it definitely happening.

47,000kms on a family wagon that is almost 10years old? C'mon, bit of common sense.

OP - Don't be afraid to pick up an M35 with around 100,000kms on the clock. Presuming they have been serviced regularly with decent fluids, 100,000kms is nothing - although I guess when you crack 210,000kms in a modified M35, you sorta have a different perspective!

What about it?

Dayz body kit, not 100% positive it is an Autech though (did the Axis come with grey surrounds and steering wheel? I have only seen black).

^^^+1 for typo. Also I can't see it being an Axis, plenty of holes to weld up once they took the flares off; no way those guards have been welded... Just an RX with a kit?

Certainly we are of the same optinion, although you don't see many with the Dayz kit.

I wonder if it is still available...

Basically I don't wanna cross the boundaries of this forum but PERHAPS the Black Stagea that I mentioned previously ( the one with 111K on the clock) and this one on ebay are the same.... point made.... sorry if I wasn't very clear by just posting the link....

Now, are you implying that a car yard doesn't know much about the M35 Stagea?

I didn't read all of the ad previously, but how in the name of the Gods do they expect someone to buy a car when the description is so far off?

Do they really think it will instil the buyer with the trust required to make the deal?

Seriously, what the f**k is with import yards like this?

Hmmm, copy/paste anyone? I think they're just lazy,ohmy.gif and if someone believes their BS so much the better for them...

Let the buyer beware...

No, I'm not. All I'm saying is that you'd want to check out the things in bold.

We all know the rules on the forum about businesses, and I don't want to go down that slippery slope.

I have had someone that complies M35's tell me it had a 3.5 litre turbo motor in it....:blush:

I know, it was more a tongue in cheek statement but I forgot to use an emoticon >_<

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
