I spotted four tonight, but all C34's, all in Cronulla, and all within the space of around half an hour! First was a silver s1 with black 5-spoke wheels on the Kingsway, next was a black s2 with (non-standard) mesh wheels parked in the multi-storey carpark on Croydon Street, another s2, this time white somewhere off Gerrale Stree I think as I was leaving the shops to head to a friend's, then a silver one (maybe the same as the first one, but couldn't see enough to tell if it was an s1 or s2) parked on the street in front of a boat trailer not far from Hume Road.

And I chose tonight NOT to drive mine, hey??? :(

Surprised you didnt see me. I was out there and saw 2 of the same cars as you and was parked in the stacker car park. What colour was the ford you were driving? drove past an orange fpv on my way out of croydon street.

Hahaha, I'm surprised too, and that probably was us in the orange FPV. We were parked in that carpark for about 20mins as we ducked into Franklins.

Ah k fair enough, well yeah I drove straight past you guys just before you went in the carpark, should have been the first time Ive been spotted and you missed me haha. Are you in the area much? Pretty sure ive seen your stag in that car park a few months ago

Yeah, I must have been concentrating on the traffic and making sure I didn't dent/scratch a car that I wasn't familiar with. A bright yellow Stagea isn't exactly inconspicuous, so I'm now wondering myself how I missed it, Oh well...

I'm very rarely in the area, but I'm pretty sure last time I was there I was in my car, and it was a few months ago, so it's likely that you did see me. My friend lives on Hume Road, but not sure how much longer she'll be living there.

Spotted blue M35 turning onto Condamine street in Manly Vale about 1pm today. Gave a toot but not sure if he heard.

I think I spotted the same one coming out of Brookvale and heading south on Condamine St around 4.30 today. :)

Just spotted a middle aged lady and child drive away in a Pale blue m35 RX four at the caltex on Epping road north ryde. Also saw the same car down the road from my place earlier. New m35 in the area?

Saw a pearl blue M35 turning into Mount Eliza yesterday, gave them a flash and then immediately realised that I was in the Prado and that was my Dad in my car. >_<

PRADO!!!!! Cam how could you... not even a Patrol...

You know that when the Prado craps its transmission and axles there are kits available to install Patol items.. Instant upgrade...

Prado is not mine and yes, I do regularly rip him about the Patrol upgrade kits available for it.

BTW, I found that driving a Patrol was quite an average experience.

I will presume you are referring to me instead of Nick here mate.

He thought it was funny... as did I. Not used to a) seeing another M35 or b) NOT DRIVING my car!

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
