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?

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
