Hey guys.

Im a 100% new to the stagea scene, just picked up a 2001 M35 AR-X (repairable wrightoff) fairly cheap. Currently about to buy a nose chop from a local wrecker, hopefully get it on the road fairly soon,

not sure if i want to go back to a stock bar, maybe some of you guys could suggest some nice aftermarket bars. I have been looking for the sorta bar thats on it now but cant find the same one anywhere :(

Anyways here are a couple of photos.

So someone finally bought the Ebay car! Have you seen it in person yet?

I don't know of any aftermarket bars which line up with the AXIS flares. Others might. Otherwise just get a stock one.

Import Monster will be the best place for the bar.

Here is a not perfect second hand one.

do i need to be a member to view postage calculators ?

The link appears if you are registered, but you dont need to have any funds in the account. Alternatively you can just plug the details in to http://www.importmonster.com.au/estimate manually

The 2nd one Andy posted would be approx $1500 delivered to Adelaide

you can tell its an ARX due to the interior that never appeared in anything except an ARX :)

The ARX badge on the back is also an indication...:D

It's good that we now get to see what happens to this car since it was the topic of discussion for a while. Please us updated as you progress. Good luck with getting it fixed & back on the road.

This one looks like a PNM35 front bar.

This is an MASA FRP version of the AXIS bar designed to suit an NM35 without the AXIS flares.

whats the shipping normally like on that website if you know ?

thanks

You'll be looking at around $250ish (not including purchase price) to land a front bar, depending on the price of the bar with IM.

That said, they carefully wrap it, and protect all the critical areas with cardboard. I was very pleased with how well they packed mine.

It is.

Since this car needs a new front bar, bonnet, quarter panel, grill and at least one headlight, why not to a PM35 facelift?

Only difference in amount of items is that you'll need a drivers side headlight (which you should be able to grab via Import Monster or Jesse Streeter)

Just a thought whilst you have the opportunity.

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
