Gday folks,

I was a member of SAU a very long time ago (2004 from memory) a couple of years after my first journey into the Skyline fun fun fun...

After selling my pride and joy and years of house building and money making i'm returning to the import life with an M35 Stagea.

I'm yet to find one to my liking and to be honest i'm still in the early stages of working out exactly what I want (I imported my old R33 stock as a rock in 2002 with 60,000kms and over 6 years I built it into quite the attention grabber here in South Australia)

So I just thought i'd say g'day so i'm not just an nameless lurker like I have been for the past few weeks.

Cheers.

Hello and welcome :)

have you narrowed it down to the Series 1 (VQ25DET) or the Series 2 (VQ35DE) ?

Cheers folks,

It shall be a DET and i have much smaller plans for it than the R33.

I am a patient man so i'm happy to search and do much homework to make sure i'm happy with my choice

Yeah i'm looking for some variation of the 250tRS. The Axis versions look nice but i'm not one for leather and woodgrain or the luxury exterior.

I Imported my old car but am not too keen on going through that again. At the end of the day i'll start off with wheels and ride height but i know mild power mods will come along too. Nothing drastic and i dont plan on touching internals.. just supporting mods to allow a moderate boost increase to enhance my enjoyment.

oh and yes slotted brakes are always on the shopping list.

The cheaper i can pick up a fairly stock car for the less i have to save to get it to where i'd like it to be.

And budget for the turbo to blow up if it hasn't been rebuilt/ replaced.

I'm sure a few of the SA guys wouldn't mind showing you their rides for a bit of hands on action.

I'm not keen on driving others cars but I wouldn't say no to a quick casual spin so I can get a closer look at one. I have been up north to a few yards but i live too far away to spend the time i'd like for a decent look.

No Dramas mate...

I did see a M35 round the corner from my place at Seaford the other day so on the xmas break i may see if i can catch the bloke one day.

Silver? Mike (impul535w) lives around there, has a decent example.

^ that's a good thing - afaik no one on here has gone inside the VQ25DET (yet). It's not neccessary for a mild power increase - & most would say same for a big increase in power.

Good luck with your M35 search - should be a fun time.

Blatant plug ( i know you're in Adelaide!).... :whistling:

We're finally letting our M35 go (reluctantly!) and she's well priced with slotted brake rotors FTW!

It's never missed a beat in the 3 years we've had it, they really are a fantastic car to own.

Whichever M35 you get, you won't be disappointed at all.

Definitely looks good to me, providing you're okay with the colour :P (For the record, I like it but I know Bisebee copped a bit of flack for it!)

C'mon.... Everyone wants a pink car..... :teehee:

It's actually a great colour when you see it in the sunlight (seriously!)

And yeah, poor Steve copped some stick for it for sure.

      Starting again

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
