I know the place. My dads a diesel mechanic, business is at Dry Creek, so I've always used his suppliers (like Tonkin) when I needed stuff done. If you can get me something that can fit I'll fit it myself!

Nah keep the fuel filter on the list - just need the right number! I can't be arsed going out to the shed now to double check. Those are different ball joints to the ones I had to replace, so you're prob right there, but the other ones (different to the sway bar ones) aren't available separately. Where do you work? Might be handy when I have to replace the radiator

As above, I already spoke to Willall and got the below price. I'd imagine if they've done one in the meantime he may be able to give a better estimate, but when I spoke to them mid last year they hadn't worked with eManage before.

Great thread Matt! A couple of things to add: Z201 Fuel filter (http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/products/Ryco-Fuel-Filter-Z201.aspx?pid=88078#Description) will NOT fit. N-OE number might be right though. Fuel filters on these things are in the tank, part of the fuel pump assembly. Stock ball joints can't be bought from Nissan separately, only as part of a front assembly that they want ~$800/side for. I've got 350Z ball joints I bought on eBay and they work fine. Someone else can correct me here but I don't believe the V35 Auto radiator is a direct fit? I thought it needed some modding to make it fit? IHK22 is the part number for the Denso spark plugs. There is a part number on here somewhere for the NGK equivalent.

Looks better than I thought it would! Nice work! Hard to make out the shape of the black bar - does the stock bumper look better on the V35 than it does on the Stag? Look pretty good with an Aero front bar and some form of rear wing...

Confirmed - Sunday Sept 30.

Anyone interested in a new ECU? Here's a good deal... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/409395-hks-f-con-v-ecu-package-for-stagea-nm35-vq25det/

Gee you're getting old mate... Stagea cruise is NEXT Sunday, 30th Sept. You're organising the WRX cruise this weekend Senior moment?

Time to update the username then

iPad had the wrong bands, didn't work on 4G here, and they got sued for false advertising for promoting it as 4G. New iPhone comes in three varieties to deal with all the bands in various countries.

You're right. I think if you could tune your ECU it'd be a good idea, but since you can't don't worry about it. Might be worth looking at an eManage or F-con at some point?

So you're the M35 he ditched me to work on? Glad you're happy with it! He does cracking work, great bloke to deal with.

I'm not doing anything different, and I've gone from getting a day out of my extended battery to only around 4-5 hours. I've now got all the battery conservation stuff turned right up, and I charge it all day at work. OneX shows this is a direction that other phone manufacturers are going down that road. New Nokia WinMo phones are another example. I'm resigned to the fact that whatever I get, battery life will be relatively bad, and I'll need an external battery of some description for some trips. Exactly. And I have a tablet, so I don't feel the need to have an epic screen size. The two guys with One X's in our office both have problems with the screen flickering when displaying large blocks of black or grey colour. Very strange. Screens look great other than that. Apparently it's a software/voltage thing and it can be fixed via firmware. Its funny. For what I do, the OS makes very little difference. I need access to Exchange and Google email, I need to be able to view meeting invites properly (unlike the bullshit Android implementation that doesn't show you when the meeting is in the invite), internet, music, and occasionally Angry Birds. I have laptops and a tablet for everything else.

Non removable battery is no longer an issue you can bring up thanks to the HTC One X. Talk time/standby time is adequate considering the size, and I'll more than likely end up with a battery case (like I have for my S2) anyway. All smartphone battery lives are rubbish. Time will tell if the screen on the new one is as fragile as the old one, but the size definitely suits me more. Proprietary connector isn't a big issue. There will be so many millions of these things out there that cables will be readily available, I just need an adaptor for my iPod speaker dock. The price? It's competitive with all other top tier Android phones. Add all that to the fact that I don't want a 5" phone, and I've been getting sick of a couple of things on Android which aren't working as I'd like, and it does look like a good idea. Got two of them

I'm seriously considering swapping my Galaxy S2 (which now has battery life of 4 hours) for an iPhone. Marketing bullshit aside, if you look at the specs, it is a solid phone for those that don't want a 4.8" screen. If they released the iPhone 5 with Android on it, people would be impressed at the specs (unless of course some idiot came out and said it was 'revolutionary' )

Chadsta, do you have the sill panels? Were they the silver type?

Jarrod, I'm in Adelaide and will be getting my Fcon tuned shortly. I spoke with Martin about the Emanage, and he could do it,but hadn't done one before. Expected you'd get change from $1k install and tune. AFAIK no one else in Adelaide has had their M35 tuned yet. Mainly because Dunc is slacker/busier than I am.

I bought mine from Northshore. I wouldn't again. If I had my time again I'd go the Iron Chef route. Everyone I know who has gone that way has got an excellent car for significantly less than I paid.

Looks like it. Perhaps someone else can check the part number, or do a search?

That ad states "Base sedan front wheel bearing not for AWD." I think there was a G35x that was AWD, so would take the same wheel bearings as an NM35?

Great to see so many people keen on this! Looks like it should hopefully be a good crowd so far: bigkevracer impul535w Tommy Kaira RL Debarkle Stageas2 OLDS 4bidn1 bentwagon MADCAT adambruv Waino99 Stag love JayMei DJ1984 twins77 Fgjoh 2000 RS ransom91 Dunc Rylan182 Bonofyd Glitch C34S2STAG Swagon Lets see if we can get a couple more sorted! Just to confirm details, Jase is still confirming the route, but we have a central Adelaide meet point and I'm thinking meet at 10am Sunday 30 Sept for a 10.30 start.

Welcome Josh! Where are you based in Adelaide? I think I've seen that around...

So go forged? Never any substitute for cubes... VQ25DET is going well, 400kW sounds good. But VQ35DET should be better
