keep the info commin ;) another quick question whats the go with the little arial on the front of some stags? also anyone in canberra have a m35 :) seen one gettin around and a couple of c34's

Arial is just to let the driver know where the passenger front corner is instead of guessing/estimating

If it is a silver M35 in Canberra, it could very well be Houdini's.

Edward Lee's? Almost got sucked into buying a 180sx from them early last year, came to my senses before spending the money though.

So many bad stories about a lot of the places on parramatta road though, most of them are as bad as each other.

Spot on. I bought an S13 silvia from them about 10 years ago. Didnt miss a beat. Was the most reliable car ive owned, even more reliable than my accord euro! They even fixed a problem that could have gone either way. So i went back.

This M35............. they couldnt appear to care less. Im keeping the car but ill get it fixed at my own cost as there is less hassle and i dont have to deal with the dopes that work there. last time i spoke to an ex-employee there, a lot of the old staff members had left. smart move!

In my opinion, if you are happy with the power now, don't put bigger wheels in it, unless you have plans to install an Emanage down the track. Otherwise you will gain lag and bugger all extra power. These boats are laggy enough already with the crappy throttle ramp and ecu protection.

just took the m35 out for a proper night run with its new HDI fmic.. goes well.

I actually thought the vq25dets were alot slower than 4.0litre auto xr6 turbo fords.

I raced one to 100 from the lights at the entrance of the freeway and stayed a car length ahead the whole time. I was honestly suprised.

The guy followed me all the way to the off ramp then signalled to wind down my window and said "whats in that?"

I was tempted to say "volvo power!" then just boot it. but i said "VQ25DET" and he just scoffed.. i wonder if he knew what it was?

ahh i love this car.

*evil laugh* :thumbsup:

Seller states it's an AR-X in the title. I thought the AR-X had flared plastic wheel arches, 18" wheels and higher ride height. That one doesn't.

I see it's listed as an RS-250 Four further down.

- RS Four so it won't have dual climate control (RX, ARX and Axis did though)

- Does look like it has the safety pack (6 airbags)

- I would enquire as to what "low km's" are as the rear leather seats look quite used (I have the same leather interior) although they do crease easily if the seats are folded down a lot of the time.

- May not have HICAS either due to being an RS, but this may have been an option on the RS - can't remember

$16,800 with 12 months rego and 3yr parts and labour Australia wide sounds good.... just make sure it covers the turbo :P... and that they service the transmission with the correct fluid (Nissan Matic J) as dextron III compatible fluids with destroy your transmission very, very quickly

no series 1 M35 has dual zone climate control dude. series 2 i cant comment.

HICAS was an option on RS and AXIS (i think), always fitted to ARX and was not an option on RX. Same as LSD AFAIK.

that one in the drive.com.au link is a 250t RS FOUR

no aircon vents in the rear means RS.

good to hear your car is quick with a few mods keir :P

Yeha i was suprised as he was .. being a ute against the 2T wagon.. but someone did tell me the xr6T utes are alot slower than the sedans and not much lighter..so not sure.

:P

As long as you have the Google Toolbar installed and setup to translate Jap to English,(or something similar), I've found this site to be invaluable for the various spec levels and options available for M35's from 2001 through to 2007.

Really? Series 2 definitely has dual zone, but I thought that the ARX had it... oh well, there you go.

Have a 2002 ARX - thats Series 1 isn't it? Has dual zone climate control and the works. Only missed out on the cruise control - as my son said when he handed back the keys - good luck keeping your licence without it! (Do a fair bit of hwy driving)

re Dealers - Check japlinkmotors.com.au
