Hey guys

Im looking to be an owner of an M35 shortly if everything goes well on the weekend, if not then the next few months.

Just want to know if there are any owners , preferably M35 owners in the Sydney area, im not after anything just seeing if there's a Sydney based group at all so when i get the car i know there's a local group i could probably join for the odd cruise and gain some valuable knowledge about the cars.

There are freaking tonnes of us mate. Top bunch of guys, and we have a cruise and a chat pretty regularly.

There's a bit of banter, so if you don't take things too seriously; there's a bunch or very knowledgeable owners, with some pretty modified examples.

There's a bunch of FB groups, https://www.facebook.com/groups/17462900896/?fref=nf

And this is the Sydney based one; https://www.facebook.com/groups/296526673815644/

The best resource for information is still this forum, and the nm35info forum.

Thanks for linking that, this will be my first import car, hence the outreach to owners.All my mates have had them (not stageas) so i know a few things here and there but im not handy(im an IT guy). So i'd like to speak to owners about any common problems or anything like that during any cruise/meetup

I'll join the group once i buy the car, if it all goes well

Welcome aboard mate. As daleo said, we have a strong m35 community here in Sydney. Happy to help when we can. These cars are something different to anything else so it is worth consulting the group as between us we have tried almost everything.

As dale said the forums are still the best place for information,

Great to hear, and hope to meet you guys soom in our rides.d

The only things i want to do it are:

1. maybe debadge the grill or plastidip it, or get nismo one

2. find a wood grain center console, or hydro diip mine to match

3. get double din fascia, and get awesome head unit with sat nav and reverse camera

4. maybe get TV hooked up to the screen

i know 1-3 can be done, not sure about 4, haven't found that answer yet. PS. the one im looking to buy has the BOSE system if that makes a difference to installation and mods

4 can be done with any decent head unit and a Rv tuner.

The Bose unit is a liability. It will fail, so you are on the right plan with going a double din facia and after market deck. Just be aware not to buy the aftermarket facia as it is very poor quality. Get a genuine one from a. Wreck. Most RS model stageas and a lot of v35 skylines have the double din facia that will go straight in.

ye i looked around and found there were some shared parts, but will need to find a black one as theres a few diff colours.

will also need a silver aero roof spoiler, makes a huge difference to the look of the back, to me at least

A majority are black luckily.

And yeah agree on the m35 aero spoiler. My car has the full aero kit and I love it.

ye i went and saw one that had the whole kit and fog-lights but no leather, and it had a fair few scuffs around the corners of the car so i walked away..but dam it looks good

I dont mind the ARX look with the primed flared arches itll just look good lowered otherwise it looks abit SUV-ish..but thats just my opinion

Brick is this what i would need ?

Yes, but you also need the board that runs the aircon; you cannot use the board from the Bose fascia

As Dale said you'll also need part# 27500-AL502 (AC Controls) which is the expensive bit. Usually cheaper to find a complete double din unit from a wreck or yahoo japan.

Or this: http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f170035732

Plenty of these come up in J land. I have a black fascia without the ac control for sale if you are interested.

Cheers Mat

Glad to hear they pop up often, the black one is just what i need, i would buy yours but wouldnt know where to look for the ac control, would probable be more on its own.

Yep, you don't often see the ac control by itself, hence why I still have the fascia.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
