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

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?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
