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 )

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
