Hi Ive been looking around here for a while as ive been thinking about buying a M35 and are now pretty keen to get one.

Ive just noticed this one http://www.carsales....id=130E58AEE01C

But im also looking at one at Power Road Car Sales. It has the same body kit and muffler as the other, but also twin sunroof, Momo wheel and leather interior (not fussed about the leather) but 119km. Probable be about the same price as well.

Dose anyone know anything about the one on car sales (its about 3.5 hours away from me) or is there any other ones that would be worth considering?

Thanks Andrew

I wouldn't worry too much about KM's personally. When buying an import you need to be sceptical of what is on the clock, it's very easy to have the clock wound back before it goes on the ship in Japan, or even before they go to auction.

The black one on Carsales looks alright but is a bit of a "pov pack" Stagea from what I've seen. I considered it for a bit but realistically I'd end up replacing the exhaust with something aftermarket anyway, and the stereo is overkill for me. Always makes me smile when people install boost controllers and then only run the car with standard boost too. Sure, lol.

Probably another guy who's trying to making some $$$ off a freshly landed car.

The rego seems brand spanking new...when I had my car rego'ed in Jan it was YDK XXX....

Car looks alright - getting it checked out would be fun...

Find out who complied the car and dereg papers...

Thanks for the help, dont think I will bother going to look at that one then.

I was looking at the other one just after it had got there and with a clean im sure it will look just as good as the one on carsales. I was also able to put it up one the hoist and cheek underneath

Aero front bar + stock side/rear = :wacko:

A mate of mine looked at a black one at Power Road Car Sales recently, but it didn't have the aero front bar as you mentioned, like the one on car sales in your first post. I think he also said it was leather (beige) with twin sunroofs? Was there another one there that you bought?

Congrats on your purchase though. Where are you located?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
