Yeah I'm just going by what I've been told. It's the one where you can press a button and it becomes quieter/louder. Not a twin tip. Has anyone had an Emanage tuned in SA from here?

Alright. This is the smarts I like to hear. Anywhere that you guys can link me to more info on the oil restrictor? Dunc told me to do that too, so I'm guessing it should be at the top of the priority list. iamhe77, ended up getting the black Aero kitted one from Wodonga.

The front pipe is standard now, but will definitely be replaced. Ideally I'll do the turbo/everything else in that area hassle in one job since it appears to be a right *c-word* of a job.

No sorry, I mean what would be better: a) dump + cat with Nismo exhaust back and Emanage and tune, or b) dump + cat + catback, no tune.

Aaron do you think a cat back or a tune would be better?

Yeah see this is the thing. It's hard to justify high flowing the turbo, but at the same time it's probably the most unreliable part in the car. But if I go and high flow the thing, it kind of seems like a waste not doing it right. Sure doesn't! I'd be keen on getting it properly tuned, but I know I don't have the cash for it. Not unless there's a cheap solution that just magically appears overnight but from everything I've read it's not going to happen.

Swap for standard M35 brakes + my neighbours yappy dog?

Ok so I have my M35, and I have a wing coming from Japan. Once that's painted and a few minor repairs on the body are done, it's time to have some fun. I have around $5k to justify spending on top of the car, but could be convinced to spend more, just don't want to go mental. Goals for this car is to retain driveability, comfort, reliability and a degree of economy while handling well and going alright. We only have one car in the family right now, so really the Stagea is meant to satisfy my wants of having something with a bit of go, and my wife's wants for getting herself from place to place. The car is standard aside from a Blitz intercooler and K&N filter. It has a Nismo exhaust. Are they decent at all? Worth having a bigger dump into a quality cat and then just run the Nismo exhaust or does it really strangle the system? Now that many of you have done what you've done, how would you go about doing it again? I'm keen to get coilovers in this thing first, but aside from that have no real plans for the future. In all honesty, I don't really need massive power, but a highflow seems like the way to go rather than have the car give out on me at some stage, would you agree? Anyway, keen to hear peoples opinions.

I too have said job. However yep, finding actual M35 information on this site is tricky at times. Would be much nicer if there were specific threads on each topic like the C34 guys have.

Anyone know of the AluFelgen SF-71 wheels were made in 5x114.3? I'm looking for wheels in 19x9.5 +20 (or thereabouts), but just can't find much info on these wheels. Anyone have any other "BMW style" wheels to suggest that won't break the bank? These are the SF71's: Thanks

Yep thanks for that Leon. I saw the V1's, any noticeable difference in ride or adjustability?

These are the same hey (just checking the photos) http://www.showoff-imports.nl/product.php?printable=Y&productid=35629

Does anyone have a part number for the BC BR Coilovers for my 2001? I'm guessing it's these that I need (the ones that specify AWD)? http://www.justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=19203&cat=&page=1

Ahh righto, so most people don't run the engine cover?

Is this the same deal with all of the plenum spacers?

Ahh ok, too hard. haha

Thread dig.. Has anyone put the newer model lights on the older M35's?

Apologies for harping on about wheels so much - reckon a 19x9.5+15 would fit? It looks as though 19x9.5+22 is wide without being ridiculous, the 7mm should be pretty safe, yeah?

Despite the obvious double entendre there, no.

It's been on a truck for a few days. Let me wash it first!

Sweeet. Just picked up my M35 from Toll. Very tidy little unit!

Spotted a white M35 on North East Rd in Collinswood on Thursday evening - around 5pm. Only saw it quickly but it looked tough as. Anyone know who it is or have any pics? Would definitely be keen to see more!

That sucks. Thanks for giving me a ball park mate.

Personally I'd buy something nice and rare and unable to import to Australia, stay in the UK for another 12 months, bring it over as a personal import, flog it off in Aus for $$$PROFIT and then deck out a Stagea over here to the same or better spec with money to spare. But that's just me

How much did it go for?
