Lol, the other day, I was trying trying to work out what I'd replace the Stagea with, when the time came;

I reckon it would end up being another one...

I think my S1 will still be running after WW3....in 18 months Ive rebuilt the suspension and steering, slapped a rebuilt turbo on it and put a shift kit in. That breathed new life into a soggy auto wagon. Probably should have waited and spent the coin on a S2 manual back in the day.....

Haha, good name for a thread Toby. :P

I feel like a thief its by far been the greatest mod to date!!

Can only imagine what the commercial performance shop would charge for this upgrade on a customers vehicle.

Cheers bloke

I just don't know about this nm35 cosmetic looks and improvments all good ill continue on, but as far as performance mods starting to think there like throwing money down the pokies , you might get a little return now and then but nothing like what you throw into it lol. I'm not looking forward to the day the turbo goes, coz I know there will be no way ill replace it with a standard! And that leads to everything else getting done lol

First im new owner of this bus but long time car nut....

Cant say ive ever seen a vehicle that is cheap to mod!! Different Horses for different courses.. Right?

I feel the fact nm35 has limited mod allowances prevents the crazy $$ on cars that you see up on the hoist or in the corner for 6/12 months in every performance workshop or owner garage.

Not to mention the seemingly willing crowd of owners to share tried & tested upgrades in great detail at no cost!!!

Bang 4Buck?

Looks pretty clear to me.

But i guess I'm like yourself in that I cant make this complete assumption until the package planned is assembled installed and I get to enjoy it everyday.

Considering the expansive range of performance parts on offer (compared to when I started down that road), you guys have no issues modifying the M35. You should have seen the (non existent) range 5 years ago.

Price wise, the performance parts are on par with any other car imo, unless some Chinese bloke is pumping out crap products as with the Skyline...

    • I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.
    • yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.
    • With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)
    • Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar. 
    • This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
