I believe the cloth is a more comfortable seat, I just felt like I was perched on top of the leather, instead of nestled in, but that's an individual thing. Don't get too hung up on a detail like that; I think there are more important things to focus on.

Like twin sunroofs!

I notice you're in Adelaide Mr Wombat. I bought one about 2 months ago from Northshore in Sydney, flew over, drove it back. No issue with the ID check and transferring rego (except the stamp duty! $$$$!). Car was exactly as Ben described, and he gave good directions on public transport to get to him, and picked me up from the ferry.

When I looked around, there just weren't enough around in Adelaide to get what I wanted. I would have no hesitation buying from interstate again.

If you want me to take you for a spin in mine, more than happy to, just send me a PM. Just make sure you come to the next Stag cruise!

Yeah sorry bout that, just wondering if they are generally trouble free... I am looking at m35's with less than 50,000kms on them... There are a few c34's here but no m35's so I can't really check them out... Looking at ones in nsw....

lol, talk about a vague question.

Whilst I like Legnums, an M35 Stagea will shit all over the two cars you mentioned.... unless you want to tow something

Legnums that bad? I thought they're a bit faster/better handling out of the factory than the M35's, no?

More thirsty too...LOL...and probably harder to source parts for?

NM35 will be a minimum of 8 years old.

There will not be many with under 50,000kms without being wound back.

They are generally very reliable cars.

Only thing that definitely will die is the turbo.

Any Nissan dealer will get parts in for you, but it is definitely easier if you DIY or have a mechanic/dealer that actually enjoys what they do and will take the time to figure stuff out.

As a point of reference, the only failures I have had have been the turbo, passenger side front wheel bearing assembly and the radiator.

Not bad considering I have just passed 215,000kms and mine is a 2001 build (one of the earliest batches).

FYP

i rekon they are reliable too

mines done a radiator (seal, not cracked) transmission has an issue but its a known fault normally fixed in japan. my dealer was a d1ck. and the turbo is still going strong at 120+k on the clock!

Gt high performance - kirrawee !!!! Anyone had anything to do with them... I haven't talked to them, just looking online at the moment.....

If you're in the Sydney region I've heard nothing but great things about northshore prestige motors. I would definitely start there.

    • Hey, guys, I’m hoping I can find answer here. I have already done some searching and asking around but still nothing.    I fitted an IC7 dash in my R32 GTR, and I got everything displaying on the dash except my high beams. I get input voltage and the high beams displaying in the dash when I pull the lever, but not when I fully engage the high beams. I spliced into the Red/Blue Beam+ wire in the black center connector from the cluster, but there is also a black Beam wire I think I need to use as well. The high beams still work. It’s just a matter of getting it to display on the dash.    Has anyone fully wired in their IC7 properly ? I would appreciate any guidance on this.    IMG_8835.mov    
    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
