Should I Take The Plunge?

[Bis-e Bee]

Have been searching for a decent m35 stagea for a while now since mine got written off last october.

Havn't had much luck yet but came across a sweet v35 skyline the other day, now i am tempted to get it.

I know of people who have gone from v35 to m35, but any feedback from anyone who has gone the other way?

Should i do it, or should i wait for an m35.

dont you dare!!

unless you buy your engine back and put that in a V35, then ill accept that

[Bis-e Bee]

How about i fit the turbo to the vq35de?

Are you stalking me buddy? Lol you are the last person i expected a reply in this thread from ;p

[zei20l]

i saw your name popup in here, thought it was weird haha

nah the V35 is really nice. and youll be familiar with it. the inside is basically the same. lacking in torque, but they make up for it with less weight than our 2000kg cops!

thats not true, i think yours only weighs about 700kg now

after driving both i prefer the v35 obviously...

im about to turbo my v... so ill let you kno in performance in a month or so.

I own both a V35 and a M35.

If i had to choose only one, it would be the Stagea purely for practicality.

Both of mine are stock and auto.

Horses for courses in choosing one over the other.

If you "Need" the space stay with the M35.

If you just got a divorce and lost the kids get that V35

how you doing it? Kit?

Bis-e Bee- what you looking at Coupe or Sedan? I reckon you should go with your Gut. They are pretty much the same underneath, I reckon it'd be rare for a person to buy 2 of the same cars. Why not try something new

[zei20l]

i owned 3 of the same car. am i even rarer??

the V35 will have better response due to NA and faster shifting transmission. but the 2.5L would be sluggish compared to the 3L and 3.5L

Hi Stephen, my suggestion is to test drive a V35 1st. I hope you won't be disappointed after that.

But if I have to choose from what I know of them.

Pros.

V35 - Sleeker design, Choice of coupe or sedan.

M35 - More practical, Turbo, Non boy-racer image.

Cons.

V35 - Not much practical (After modified), Non-turbo.

M35 - Heavier.

Good luck, Stephen.

Cough... You own a Fiat... nuf said

Yeah, Agree, after a VQ25det.... a NA 2.5/3.0 probably won't cut it.

How about a M35 with a VQ35....?

Tip: Take any good model you find, there won't be a lot of A grade stock coming from Japan for a while.

[zei20l]

unfortunately youre right, there will be plenty of spares and half cuts coming in. whole cars will be hard to come by.

so jump on something that is the right price/condition.

alex, the fiat is awesome and you know it lol
