I got auto folding mirrors......

and an ioniser, that we pulled out after 5 minutes of ownership..

Momo half wood steering wheel, wood trim centre console, Panasonic sat/nav, that is circa 2003, in a 2001 car, wind deflectors, including rear one on boot, also number plate trims that are now stored in the boot, as a VIC numberplate is too wide to use it...

and the usual non funtioning 6-disc CD with ER0 message...

Still love it...

:bunny::banana:

Didn't take you long to post after picking it up mate!

You free on Sunday? Would love to come and have a look-see.

Missus happy?

Interested in letting go of that Ioniser?

I also got 4 little blue lights that shine up from the pilars at night they look really cool and does anyone have the silver buttons with the red triangle. there is one on the driver door you just tap it with your finger and the window goes down about 5mm each time and there is one for emergency blinkers

My wife has the 2002 NM35, It has some snow package so it only has one reverse light the other is a fog light. The snow control is down by the shifter I think it also turns on heated mirrors outside. It has inteligent cruise control (buttons located on right coloum of steering wheel), dual sun roofs, It also has a remote by the cup holders that turn either or both of the front cameras on viewed on the pop up screen while parking. It was also fitted with mats and sunoof and window wind shields.

that makes two cars I had read about now.

I want your chassis number :)

want to do a parts list up for this :)

though I have a feeling mine will probably work out cheaper.

he means the japanese one not the aussie one, its on the silver square plate to the left of the engine. thats the long silver aussie chassis number.

The Japanese one is NM35-309181.

The only difference is that all imports have the 6U90000 added once complied

My ARX had the safety pack, which is 6 air bags including side curtin and center rear lap sash seat belt.

Plus the TV, and Navi option.

Cheers

andy what year is your arx? they get good stars in side, full frontal and offset -- but the safety package would be brilliant...

It is 03/03.

The safety pack is great with kids as it has the extra full lap sash seat belt for the center seat.

I almost got to find out how safe it is, as a car last night did not give way to me in a round about and almost took the front end off the car. :pirate:

Volvo hoon!

to give a better idea, the JNCAP rating for the M35 stagea is 4 stars for the driver and 5 for passengers I believe. JNCAP ratings are out of a total of 6.

The rating methodology is also different between different countries and the rules also change with time as more and more safety features are expected to become standard equipment on cars, so its probably not possible to compare directly to ANCAP ratings...

However, ANCAP ratings are out of a total of 5. This puts the stagea at about 4 stars. Still a good result, especially when compared to other wagons of the same year. For example all Ford Falcons up to (but not including) the current model were 4 stars. The holden commodore including the VE is also 4 stars.

What it means though is that even with 4 stars, the stagea is going to offer a pretty good level of safety in a collision. To get 5 points it would likely need side curtain airbags and some fancy buzzwords after the title (ie. ESP etc).

    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
