A Corpse

I've got a contact lined up, he brought in my R32 way back, so I trust him. Waiting to see what I can expect price-wise. Getting amped now.

Does this apply to the non-axis ones too? If so, what kind of features are optional that are worth getting? EG the one I test drove had two temperature zones, but I couldn't actually find a way to control them independently, is that a user error or was that an option that was removed on that one? There's not a lot of info on Stageas around it seems.

Oh, another question, I've seen an Axis submodel on some auction sites, what's the deal with them?

Hehe well I'm wanting to go for something new enough to last me another decade (I've had the R32 for 12 years) and wanted stock to keep the insurance premiums lower. I've had real issues trying to get decent cover for my modded R32 so that's one headache I decided to avoid this time. But everything you guys have said has confirmed my lean towards the 350RX4.

Fuel wise it's similar to my R32 then. I get about 400-450km off a 55L fill around town, and recently 600km off a tank for a trip that was entirely long drives. I can get that past the missus then. I checked on insurance and there's only about $60/year difference between the 250 and 350, so that's no problem either. I get my cars serviced regularly (tried getting into it enough to do it myself but I don't have the enthusiasm) so hopefully reliability won't be an issue.

Ah, I was looking at the Series 2 M35's, going for as late a model as I can get (likely a 2007), so only NA options according to Wikipedia (taking that with a pinch of salt of course, let me know if it's flat out wrong). 250RX: VQ25DD engine (V6 2.5L NA, direct injection, 158.3 kW), rear-wheel drive 250RX FOUR: VQ25DD engine (V6 2.5L NA, direct injection, 158.3 kW), four-wheel drive 350RX: VQ35DE engine (V6 3.5L NA 200 kW), rear-wheel drive 350RX FOUR: VQ35DE engine (V6 3.5L NA, 200 kW), four-wheel drive AR-X FOUR: VQ35DE engine (V6 3.5L NA, 200 kW), four-wheel drive edit: Ugh how can I stop this forum from stripping all my line breaks out and making my posts look like they were typed by a 13 year old with ADHD?

Heya all. I'm a current Skyline owner and due to being a father and needing some more space I've decided to look at an M35 Stagea. I live in NZ so I don't believe the import restriction on 250s applies, but it's something I'm confirming. I plan to bring in a car myself so I can pretty much put together a shopping list of what I want, but I do need to buy it sight-unseen. How much of a difference is there in petrol consumption between a 250RX and a 350RX4? I also wasn't sure if it would be worth considering a non-4WD 350, given the extra power. I haven't been able to find any petrol consumption stats about the M35's. Are any M35's available with cruise control? It'd be a "nice to have" thing. Any particular gotchas I should be on the look out for? Thanks in advance!
