Hello everyone, been lurking on the stagea sideof this forum for the last couple o months. My new car is going to be complied very soon and I have a few questions.......

So, I have driven a few m35's and done alot of research.........decided I wanted one with a few options (leather[not tan], non bose stereo [ease of conversion], sunroofs and tv had to have warranty for when the turbo blows or turbo already rebuilt). Found one that I liked through nagoya motors and I have come to a arrangement with them, and put a deposit down, and will buy it (pending a couple of things) has anyone dealt with them and if so had any problems?

Just waiting for compliance and then I will go pick it up. From what I can see its got a different grill,color coded surrounds around reverse/fog light, spoiler,head unit, exhaust and wheels (these wheels arent really my thing so probably will be for sale soon), anyone see anything in these pics that i have missed or know what some of these aftermarket parts are (brand of wheels exhaust, whats the go with the infiniti gril, what the spoiler etc etc?). Any help would be much appreciated, and I look for to coming on the next sa stag cruise.

-cheers

That grill has the radar equipped cruise control, I think thats fairly rare!

The colour coded surrounds on the taillights are a/market add ons.

Mine also has the rear roof spoiler, so far I havent seen many of these factory spoilers. They certainly make the rear end look better.

Welcome to M35 ownership. Car looks nice (like the blue). Not sure about the Infiniti grill, but i like the Infiniti badge on the back, & the colour coded light covers make it look a bit different.

Man, there's something going on in the centre console. What are all those devices hanging out? Good choice with the aero kit & fog lights :thumbsup: they are expensive options (to by nowadays anyway).

Haven't heard much about Nagoya, but someone is sure to have an opinion. Might not be able to say too much on here tho, unless they are good like Northshore Prestige.

Since you're in Adelaide, you should catch up with Brad sometime. He can sort you out with tv tuner & any AV related issues/upgrades etc

Cheers, Leon

There website says it has 59,820kms....Seems low. Check the condition of the leather seats for wear - it may appear more worn than you expect and....someone else may be able to comment on the condition of their leather seats with equivalent mileage?

Another thing to check is the panel in front of the Air con/cabin filter. Often in Japan they put a service sticker on it with the mileage written on it for when the cabin filter was replaced (like the oil change stickers on the inside of a windscreen). Although they may not like you having a look....

Mine had the sticker on it and it matched the books i got with the car - a mate who has imported a variety of different cars from Japan told me to check mine before i bought it. I have seen a V35 Skyline with a cabin filter sticker changed at 94,000kms but the car was advertised for sale with 66,000km...

Request the auction sheets also....Does it come with Service books?

I'm only saying this because it appears you are in Adelaide and Nagoya is in Sydney. Ask on here if a local M35 owner can go and suss it out for you. They're a helpful bunch on here...

+ 1 for the Aero kit

Yeah i have had 4 imports so far, and am not too bothered about kms aslong as everything is good condition, general wear is an obvious sign of kms being wound back, and we all know it is a common practice with imports, but if its in good nick and I have warranty I am not too bothered, I will be flying over checking it out on there hoist (I am a qualified mechanic by trade), and if all is well I will be driving it back to SA on a trade plate.

Nice car :thumbsup: It will be a great drive back. I wish I drove mine back from sydney. Alot of people tell me they learn quite alot about the car. Must be the Hay plains flat out.

Anyway if you get you car by the 17th July thats when the next cruise is on. Or if you dont have it we generally offer lifts so you can meet everyone.

whats cold pack model?.... yeah not a huge fan of the grill but i can deal with it, the wheels on the other hand :down: , yeah will definately be doing the tuner and language conversion asap

Try to get an Oil flush and then get them to put a good quality oil(take you own and give it then) in it before you do the long trip. I recently did a turbo change for someone and the reason it had gone was that the oil feed to the turbo had blocked...this happen's because the oil feed bango only has a 1mm feed hole.

Cold pack is basically a snow pack...has heated windscreen and a couple of other little things. In saying this I would also get the car put up on a hoist so you can check it for rust yourself.

Nice find buddy, like the grill. Brad's definatly the guy to go to for your english conversion. It'll be a good addition to the S.A. stag cruises though it might just tip the 34/35 ratio....

Rust shouldn't be of concern as they can't comply them if it's too bad.

and the mob he has gone to is so very reputable so they would neeevvvvveeerrrr do a shady thing!whistling.gif

I would put the thing on a hoist and check it !thumbsup.gif

Working under a few of these, they all have some rust, mainly on the exhaust but some I have seen the chassis rails on the way out. Always best to take a torch and go over it, just in case... I did before I bought mine.

I know someone who bought an arx from a import dealer in Melbourne. And found out there was rust in the chassis rail later.

Doesn't hurt to check. Never assume that the dealers have your best interest at heart.

cold pack have alot of good opinion for adel/ melbourne weather. But after having been through the issues of hidden rust under a snow pack m35 i would recommend a lengthy check for rust....

Can get compliance if they are patched up.... (new underseal) but you'll be able to tell if you scratch it off to check...

just my two cents... Luckily i had a great dealer who has sorted me out with another M35 aero selection (non coldpack )

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
