Hello Stagea owners.

Just picked up a 02 M35. Reading as much as possible from here before parting with the $$

I just went for the base model RS-4 Silver. Clean cloth black interior, not a mark on the roof. Dead straight panels. 60K mileage. Suspension is quite, tyres brand new. Stereo is simple. Something to get me to the snows this year. Everything works. Probably will get the Engrish conversion done down the track.

Purchased from dealer.

Love the room in it, and the lack of unwanted attention. Down low it is alot more responsive than I expected. More comfortable than the leather V35 seats.

What is Synchro mode however?

Previously owned a V35 Skyline and a S15.

Shannons Insurance $1180. Over 30. Sydney based.

I looked at an S40 T5 Volvo, but this is much better bang for your buck, and such low genuine kms. Smoother car.

:D

Congratulations on your purchase you,ll get a lot of satisfaction out of the car and also have something a little different to the run of the mill motors.

The syncro button is for locking it in 4wd, perhaps you,ll be able to try it out in the snow, good luck with your Stag.

You should have synchro mode and snow mode (both on the same switch).

Synchro = 50 / 50 power distribution except for when you are idle

Snow = is similiar but it reduces your rev's up to 40km/h or something so you don't bog down.

Do a search, there is a lot of information on these two modes in the forums already.

Congratulations on your purchase.

Snow also cuts your boost..

I was told by the dealer I purchased my RS4 from that syncro mode started the car in 2nd gear to limit wheelspin due to high revs/low gear?

That's "Snow" mode he was (or should have been) talking about.

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      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

      So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
