Thanks Cam!

Anyone know how much Auto Trans Fluid is needed for the M35? I am contemplating changing mine...

+1 for http://www.performancelub.com/NGK%20pricelist.htm Spoke to Harold and picked them up the same day. got the Iridium IX's LFR6AIX-11. $14 a plug!! Sick!

Already done, and checking it out now! Thanks.

How easy is it to replace the plugs in the M35? Do you have to take the intake manifold off?

I cleaned my Stagea last night! Filled it up with fuel. (full tank - $100 later FFS!) Going to clean the interior and do a bit of a service soon! She goes alright. Not as quick as a Turbo Datsun 1600 though But a hell of a lot quieter.

Front was 90mm off the ground. Too low! I'm contemplating importing some Teins to fix the problem for good. I'm not sure how good the factory shocks are, but the C34's I've been told couldn't stand up to the punishment of 100,000K's + Don't know if the M35 is any different. My car has done 70,000K's, so might be a little life left in the old girl yet?

Got springs re-set. Gives me some time to think about what I am going to do...(and save?)

PICKING HER UP TONITE!!!

Pics or it never happened!!

I don't think Kings actually make a stock M35 spring (damn it), so we have to resort to finding something else and working with that. I was worried about the BC's as spare parts might be hard to come by.. I think the only places which service or sell spare parts are over in NSW. Teins are an alternate, but DAMN they are expensive when bought locally.

The nail has been hit squarely right dead set in the middle of the head. +1 vote for Beer baron for coming to my BBQ. I'd shout the man a beer or two.

Hi Sage, Import factory is doing my compliance! You might have seen my Axis Autech parked over there. Your car looks pretty clean! Congrats on the purchase.

Josh, This might be a big guess, but I would assume it might be a CV joint? Is it more like a click? Then this would be a CV. Does it sound like it is coming from the back or the front? How many K's has the car done?

Nope. It is kind of like a piggy back but is sort of like a completely new ECU. It is additional 'address space' and kind of interrupts the factory default values and is placed inside the factory ECU. This basically allows you to have full adjustment of pretty much everything via the consult port via some cheap laptop software downloaded from the nistune website. For example, I can now change the Thermo fan set point which was usually an 'emergency thermo' for my SR20DET. I've removed the factory clutch fan and now the ECU takes care of cooling duties!

Scotty, What mods did you do to the gearbox to cost $4K??

So the BR's are the ones to get (they are more expensive!)

Can you let me know when the money would be due? I'm expressing interest, but not 100% firm yet. (I haven't got the car yet FFS.)

also, Which ones to get. Br type Rs, or VS ones? What does everyone recommend? Oh and spring rates... I'm not looking for anything too hard! Does anyone have a link to the specifications?

What is the range of height adjustment for the Stagea? I can't seem to find it here! (I am tired though.. so be nice if it's obvious)

Feedback on the BC's ? Soft/Hard, enough adjustment? Wear out or long lasting? (holding up a heavy car mind you!)

Too easy.

Got some dimensions for the spacer? (I've got a lathe too!)

Where did everyone get their BC's from? If I can't get some springs in time (from Japan FFS), I might have to get some BC's locally...

Does anyone also recommend coil overs and what do you run? I got a quote for Eibach springs and they would be $1000 for a set of four. Lead time would be months... HAHAHhahhahhahah
