Hey guys.

Im a 100% new to the stagea scene, just picked up a 2001 M35 AR-X (repairable wrightoff) fairly cheap. Currently about to buy a nose chop from a local wrecker, hopefully get it on the road fairly soon,

not sure if i want to go back to a stock bar, maybe some of you guys could suggest some nice aftermarket bars. I have been looking for the sorta bar thats on it now but cant find the same one anywhere :(

Anyways here are a couple of photos.

So someone finally bought the Ebay car! Have you seen it in person yet?

I don't know of any aftermarket bars which line up with the AXIS flares. Others might. Otherwise just get a stock one.

outside looked clean and straight, guy said he was getting alot emails saying that people wanted to buy the car but couldnt find parts anywhere, i rang 1 wrecker and said they had everything for me haha. car is dusty and inside could use a good detail, once i get it home and give it a good clean up ill post some new pictures.

do i need to be a member to view postage calculators ?

The link appears if you are registered, but you dont need to have any funds in the account. Alternatively you can just plug the details in to http://www.importmonster.com.au/estimate manually

The 2nd one Andy posted would be approx $1500 delivered to Adelaide

you can tell its an ARX due to the interior that never appeared in anything except an ARX :)

The ARX badge on the back is also an indication...:D

It's good that we now get to see what happens to this car since it was the topic of discussion for a while. Please us updated as you progress. Good luck with getting it fixed & back on the road.

Import Monster will be the best place for the bar.

Here is a not perfect second hand one.

This one looks like a PNM35 front bar.

This is an MASA FRP version of the AXIS bar designed to suit an NM35 without the AXIS flares.

whats the shipping normally like on that website if you know ?

thanks

You'll be looking at around $250ish (not including purchase price) to land a front bar, depending on the price of the bar with IM.

That said, they carefully wrap it, and protect all the critical areas with cardboard. I was very pleased with how well they packed mine.

It is.

Since this car needs a new front bar, bonnet, quarter panel, grill and at least one headlight, why not to a PM35 facelift?

Only difference in amount of items is that you'll need a drivers side headlight (which you should be able to grab via Import Monster or Jesse Streeter)

Just a thought whilst you have the opportunity.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
