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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
