Does anyone on here have a M35 Stagea or a 99 dolphin front stagea in Newcastle or on the coast?

I saw a nice stock white M35 at Kotara before xmas.

Ryan, there are quite a few M35s in Sydney now - not sure who owns a white one, though.

Post your question up in the Stagea section here...

Thanks Nick, How is your Volvo going?

We took ours camping over christmas, and i had it chock a block with gear and drove up the coast and got about 10 ltrs per hundred kays. I was very happy with the big girl as it was the first time i have had her fully loaded and took it for a long drive.

I am looking to try and get a dolphin fronted series 2 or a M35 to use as a wedding car with mine. A bloke on here said that he would help out but i feel slack asking him to come from Sydney for the day, if i can get one more local it would be better.

My car's going well, thanks Ryan. There are a few minor issues, but that's to be expected and is all a part of the ownership experience, right?

How on earth did you manage to get 10l per 100Km? Tha's fantastic for a Stagea!

As for the wedding cars, I know there are at least five M35's down here in Sydney - andy65b (Andy), Jetwreck (Craig), zei20l (Ian), NRVOUS (Tony), cogdog (Mitch) and Paramour (Julius) are the main ones I find remember after a quick search. As for up in Newcastle, I'll let Ian's post guide you there...

ill be in that.. there was a club in newy... newcastle skyline enthuisasts... i still have my shirt.. not sure what happened to it... it just sought of fell apart... i think it got too "clubby and organized" rather than a bunch of mates all getting together. i think at the best meet we had a fair few cars.. around 20 or 30... i think.. it was like 5 years ago so who knows... that was pretty good for just word of mouth... no internet advertising or anything.

cheers

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
