Priced high 'cause it looks nice. A few guys here that own M35's and used to own M35's have been out to look at it and all said that it looks quite rough. I'd like to see it, but be stuffed flying u

stephen looked at it, i havent, and wont bother after his comments to me about it. its too cheap for a 2003 model with that mileage and the mods/additions on it. be wary of it if you do go to look at

Typed a lengtly reply and internet played up and it didn't save. Km's are fudged, I'm pretty sure of this, car is not as neat as you would expect for a 2003 with only 42,000 km's on the clock. Even t

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.

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!

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
