you cant get bose in RX and ARX models (with the integrated stereo) and they only have beige (RX) and tan (ARX) leather seats. ARX MIGHT be available in full black interoir, but AFAIK only RS (AXIS?) came in all black.

Thanks for that. Neither were important and from the research I've done here it looks like I'm better off with an RS or maybe an RX anyway. I'll see whats around.

doh sorry dude. you CAN get bose in RX and ARX as they DO have the integrated stereo. AXIS might have a bose option. RS does not.

my bad!

Cheers mate. Just figured if I found one with the Bose setup I wouldnt feel the need to replace the stereo straight away. Ill see how i go.

ive heard the bose and its nice. so nice that i bought the sb to go in my spare wheel. i now just lack the door speakers, and the amp behind the rear seats.
I'd love to get one of the little subs for the spare wheel, maybe I should just do some bodgy fibreglassing... I'm sure you'd be able to use a decent 6 or 61/2" driver and a tweeter in the sail to get the same result as a nearly 10yr old bose speaker, or is that what you mean anyway...:whistling: Edited by Daleo

Thanks for the input mate - I got my eyes on Allimports and nagoya

All imports AKA Eddy Tran is known to give his cars "hair cuts".

I'm sure you can work out what that means.

well i was 80% to buy but after reading numleg and jetwreck comments now I am thinking twice once more :-)

well im glad you saw this first.

if your planning on doing a Body kit.. dont get an ARX lol..

i want to change my front bar now but its a bitch with the wheel arches....

:( I still love my POS though..

is this for real? i am so close to buy one - i was meant to put deposit yesterday but holding back as I found one from Nagoya and still going to Northshore tomorrow

more input please

Mate just a head's up.....both the dealer's you were looking are a bit how's it going. I have seen both those yards stock about three time's and I personally would give them a miss. In saying that get the inspections done by the NRMA or similar ......whatever you do don't rush the purchase even if they start pressuring you saying there are other people interested(there are plenty of other good ones out there!....not saying that the car you are looking at is no good....just saying that if there was a problem they would more than likely not tell you. On the other hand I have heard that Nagoya does look after warranty claim's during that period!

It's worth paying a little more for a good car just quietly.....I learnt the hard way!

    • Does it make a difference in your turbo having a shorter life if you have a cat converter as it causes that back pressure versus less/no back pressure with a decat? (Not sure if this is accurate) Also slightly different question if you went from a oem cat to a decat or vice versa will it require a tune? I heard if you change the dump pipe onwards it requires a tune?
    • No. Have only gotten as far as contemplating the task of having to put in the required fairly heavy wiring and fusing to run it (along with the big alternator), and preferring not to. But otherwise, it would be nice to have a little extra freedom as to exactly where the compressor is located and free up some space around the exhaust side of the engine.
    • Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
    • Bit off topic maybe but has anyone had a crack at one of those aftermarket electric compressors ? Bit of a search came up with one put out by Speedy Air Spares. Looks interesting and looks as if you'd have to run a big arse alternator. Found this out after the fact as my air con compressor packed it in and soon after my alternator ! !
    • Yes. Needs new ports. Usually just achieved by screwing an adapter onto them. Be aware that any AC compressor that hasn't been used in a long time will very likely have dried out seals and will not hold gas. Oh, and obviously you will require a new receiver-dryer also.
