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.

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 :P

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.

Edited by Ross

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.

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 :yes:

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

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. :)

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

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

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

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

How about a M35 with a VQ35....:ph34r:?

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

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

    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
