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?

Haha, yes, maybe that. But it would have to already come with a turbo conversion for me to look seriously...

^^^^^^^

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

    • Gday, Due to not finding much up to date info on this topic I thought I'd make a thread to get peoples latest opinions/recommendations. Background info -  I've got a S1.5 R33 GTST as a fun project car, mainly for street use and occasional drag strip, apart from all the cosmetic things I'll be doing a full rebuild of the engine with forged internals. Since it'll be getting new cams (kelford) and springs to match I thought I might as well get new lifters and valves while I'm at it, the dash says 160k KMs but the engine seems pretty tired, compression measures about 130psi across all cylinders so I'd like to freshen everything up. This is where I'm tempted to just fork out the extra and go solid lifters while it's all apart, aiming for 400-450kw atw with a flex tune. Assuming all supporting mods (oiling, fuel and all bolt ons) with a lightly ported head and turbo to match (yet to make a decision possibly gtx3582r or similar from Hypergear) I've seen the Tomei kits with just the buckets getting around, Supertech sells most things - Supertech High Performance Cam Followers | Trusted Racing Cam Followers Questions -  Has anyone found the Hydraulic lifters to limit them at this power level? Is it usually found that you can just clean the stock lifters and find they work fine?  Does going solid lifters save any headaches/issues with hydraulic lifters in the future? Any recommendations on other things that will need to be replaced, I know I'll need to get the solid profile cams but can you use the same type of valves and springs/retainers and is it recommended to change the guides and stem seals?    Summary -  Basically looking for pros/cons and wanna know if I'll actually need the extra RPMs from solid lifters or it'll just be bragging rights to say it ReVs OvEr 8000 Cheers
    • Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...
    • Stock bypass valves are good for plenty of boost.
    • Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.
    • Nissan stock oil pressure is typically about 1 bar at 1000 rpm plus about 1 bar per thousand revs on top.
