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 )

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • 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.
