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 >_<

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.

      Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
