Spoken like someone living with regret ??? BTW, how's it going mate?

I wonder if it's a Melbourne thing? If Scotty announces he's selling, the whole M35 world will implode... tear in T/S continuim & all that

No way, ive put too much time into mine to fail so hard now. lol.

Even for guys who haven't invested as much, the M35 is such a brilliant car in so many ways, not the least it's practical - even for non family people - that there's very little to compare (nothing for the money). I can't think of one other car I could buy right now that would replace mine.

When you factor in the rarity (how many were made?); if you want a fairly unique, performance, luxury wagon for not a lot of $, what else would you buy?

PM35?

^^^^^^^

that....NM35 is way to fragile in some area's and an orphan...........if you do get a electrical problem it way to hard to sort out!....PM35 is a lot easier IMO!

Not having a working car for the past 5 weeks has pushed me to the edge.....considering the thing was F#$KING finished!.....f$%King F#$k f$%kety F#$k.rant.gif

P.S. Aaron....you made the right choice(maybe not in the car you chose :P)......imagine if you still had the black POS....you would be walking just like me atm!

all you guys are preaching to the choir. Yes I love the car...of course I don't want to get rid of it. But our renovations have gone waaaay over budget and we still need $$$ for furnishings. Plus I'm loosing my license for 6+ months starting this Friday...:blush:

IF I don't sell this car then we'll have to sell the family car, the Grandis. That means my wife will be driving the Stag as her daily, and considering her accident rate/driving skills, the stag will get wrecked in no time.

I'll rather sell it to someone who will appreciate it, make some $$$, and maybe when I get my license back I'll get another one. Maybe....:ph34r:

HA! lol no regret, as i needed to get out of a family car.. but definitely cannot wait to get into another one down the track.

i dont think scott will ever sell the thing, at his house the other day he was so excited just talking about the amount of engines he has lying around.. plus if scott was to sell, I would be to buy

haha agreed!

yeh well the guys already blown the motor so it may have just been a ticking time bomb if I was to still have it..

i dont think i made the best choice in a car either.. but im happy with it..

    • Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.
    • I am a volunteer marshal at the Grand Prix. As such, I get a "friend / family" ticket. It is a general admission ticket, valid for all 4 days. Anyone interested in my spare pass, please DM me. Ticket is "free, gratis and no expense".
    • agreed, the price vs gains it’s there.   unless you go china supercharger. Temu racing anyone?😂https://www.facebook.com/share/15nkfpsg7Z/?mibextid=wwXIfr that was one of the ones that popped up on my feed 😂
    • Bit of a long shot but if anyone has 4 of these laying around in new or near new condition. I will happily buy them off you.     https://skylinespares.com.au/product/stabilizer-door-glass-inner-new-8032404u03/?srsltid=AfmBOop6L5EgUFaHPHiVXoAhv5k8aJYwc77nGmoApp-hY03OiOsNVaOv Thanks 
    • I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
