Hey guys

I'm going to look at an M35 ARX to buy within the next week or so as i bloody love these cars. If all goes well ill be buying it when i see it. the only thing is it has the black trim on the center console but cream leather everywhere else, if someone wants to swap for their wood grain i would happily swap for mine.

Let me know if you are keen as this will be another incentive for me to buy the car.

If you want to swap for anything else, here is the ad of the car I'm looking to buy in case you see anything you like. or if you see any obvious faults which i could have missed.

I'd be interested to hear more about the AEM ECU; PRT had a hand in tuning another Stagea a while back.

Good luck; I hope the car is as good as it looks.

how do you find yours? are you happy with it?

would you know if it is it expensive to get a reverse camera fitted to the screen? this one doesnt have it

and no i dont suck at parking lol, the aim of the car was some thing that had room for moving, future kids, auto so the mrs can drive it and it had to have some balls..turbo esp(she doesnt know that.)

Absolutely brilliant car; I love it.

A reverse camera is a pretty easy mod; but you would probably be better off doing it as part of a head unit upgrade.

Camera is very useful; no judgement here.

Welcome to the forum also; heaps of useful info, and at pretty damn fine bunch of people too. ;)

cheers Daleo.

Do you recommend just getting a good head unit that has a reverse camera on it and get it done altogether?

Im 90% sure ill buy the car, the guy knows his stuff and he got it from an importer that i trust and all my mates who imported cars from them do too.

Theres just a few things i want to do to it when i get it. like weather shields, wood trim center console (might look for a V35 skyline one since they're the same) and reverse camera/aux/satnav

You reckon what im seeking is rare/expensive?

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
