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?

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
