Hi guys, When I imported our 250t RS4 I needed new shocks all round so stupidly bought the cheaper BC set instead of the BR. Now they are stuffed and our use for the car has changed a little. I wonder if anyone knows whether you can fit the RX suspension to the 250t rs4 and lift the ride height? Anyone have any experience importing stock suspension direct from Nissan Japan? Or know if you can do that via local Nissan dealers?

Hi All, Just curios, can you keep the original head unit and run an auxiliary input into so that a phone/mp3 player can play through the existing M35 stereo & head unit? My aim is to have a cable with headphone jack coming out somewhere near the centre console, allowing us to play from mp3 player or phone. Anyone have advice or experience with this?

Hi Guys, Anywhere else you can get the BRs from??? Just Jap are out and I don't have long to get my car ready for rego inspection without incurring further costs. Cheers, Lewis

Yep will do..I want this car to last!

Hi All, ave been ripped off by my compliance guy and have a few things to fix to get my stagea "road worthy". Does anyone have 1 or both rear shocks for an M35 AWD for sale?

Thanks for clearing it up RE the pads and the naming of the compliance mob, Dale. Someone suggested I could write it with asterisks between the letters to make sure google didn't pick it up but I'll avoid the mess for now - just a touch of bitterness in my mouth that will washed away once I've got my car on the road! Dale, can I confirm that the BC BR coilovers are $1200 all up? I would absolutely take you up on borrowing the rear shocks if I could get there soon but, after a month of continuous trips between Canberra and Sydney I need to be in Canberra the next couple of weekends. Do we know if the R33 Gts-T shocks fit M35s?

I got myself the front rotors and will order the pads once I can get the car up on a hoist as it appears impossible to confirm what kind of pads fit my car. Hey guys, Daleo, tell me about it! The compliance shop are in the process of being busted by the federal agency. The ACT guys called them over after seeing that the car should never have received its plate from DOTAR. To 'make good' he is sending the necessary parts to a former compliance guy in Canberra who doesn't have a shop any more and will fit these parts to my car in some other guy's shop. Real classy. Not sure of the legality or potential kick back, but, I really want to name this shop so that people avoid them. Thoughts? Also guys, can someone confirm the kinds of rear shock that fit a M35 250t RS Four? Can I fit R33 or R34 Gts-T rear shocks as replacements? If so I will look for cheap individual ones from wreckers to replace my leaking shock that was noted by the ACT rego guys. Man it is killing me to not be able to drive this car!

Thanks for the tips all!

Hey guys, Brand new member/Stagea owner here and also in Canberra. My Silver M35 250t RS Four just arrived from the compliance shop in Melbourne. The shop did nothing for the money I paid and my car has been nailed by the ACT inspector. Very frustrating. Some things that the compliance shop didn't do will be covered by them through a compliance guy they know up here but I have to replace the rotors and pads.. baymanx, did you end up finding a mechanic in the ACT who knows Stageas? Cheers guys, look forward to catching up on a cruise some time. PS: I don't know how to put a photo up! Will do some research!

Hi All, Have just got my M35 from the compliance place to find that there was very little compliance work done. Here is the report: ACT Government Vehicle Inspection Receipt - Comments and Repairs Needed: Supply weighbridge ticket for tare weight. Front and rear rotor coroded Front and rear brake pads worn Cat converter not replaced as per RAWS - consumer information notice Left hand rear shock leaking Air box intake not secured. Rear tyres bald on inner edge. Exhaust leak at rear. Fog lights don't comply (disconnect) Fit correct RM Mirror (flat) not convex - as per RAWS - consumer information notice Vehicle must comply with RAWS certification On the checklist they failed: Exhaust X Suspension X Drive Train X Brakes X Tyres/Wheels X So, because the most basic compliance work wasn't done, the ACT road registry guys went to town. I am looking at these: 296mm diameter x 49mm high x 24mm thick x 68mm centre hole x 5 stud in Gold groovies @ $300 the pair . Front pads in EBC Greens @ $135 a set. If anyone could confirm these fit? Really want to get them lined up as it’s killing me to look at my car in the driveway – will get the brakes done properly but does anyone have any good tips for resolving the other stuff? Cheers!
