Hi,

I've got my eye on a M35 Stagea, however there are a couple of issues that I would like to know prior to purchase.

The guy (importer) has told me that the screens are disconnected for compliance, and will require to be plugged back in - is this true?

Also, the engine check light was on and I was told that it is due to needing new spark plugs - is this also true?

I just would like to be sure before I hand over the cash!!

Thanks guys.

And IF the screen was disconnected for compliance (??), and it is now complied, then get him to plug it back in again.

It all sounds like a bit of a story to me.

Yeah, clean looking car.... But sounds like they've had the dash apart trying to sort the check engine light ( knock out screen in the process)

Next time no check engine

Light.... Because they've unplugged it????

No, never.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
