i would buy yours in a heart beat for 12k!!! :) That's about the limit of my budget though :( If you are desperate to sell let me know and I won't even bother test driving any, the money will be in your account within 20mins haha

Not in any rush, for $12k I'd rather write it off into a pole. I sold my father in laws 1999 Hiace for $13k.

lol no doubt - I was not trying to annoy you by putting a stupid offer in, just wishing I had 19k to spend :)

That first gold AR-X looks good. I'm guessing the first owner in Japan must've ticked almost every option box. The only factory options I don't see are dual climate control and rear hatch spoiler. It even has the safety pack. All M35s have dual front airbags but only a few have curtain and side airbags and rear seat centre lap-sash seat belt. It looks to have the Bose stereo, HICAS (4 wheel steer - love it or hate it), auto tilt/fold mirrors and reverse camera. Someone has even installed reverse sensors. Going by the rear fog light, I'd say it has the cold pack which also includes heated mirrors and windscreen. But you would also need to check for underbody corrosion (salted roads in the snow). The tan colour if I recall correctly (it has been a while since I sat in one) is the darker of the pictures almost like a Crunchie (honeycomb). I haven't seen that rear number plate trim before - looks OK but would probably look better colour coded.

As Ryan says, the white M35 is not an AR-X, but it does appear to have the rare safety pack as well.

IMO on face value, the gold AR-X looks to be better value of the two, but I would check out a lot more M35s before settling on one.

Cheers

is the autech axis quicker than the ARX?

I am still trying to figure out all these different models from the different years etc!! hahaha it's not a lack of information but drowning a sea of numbers and dick measuring contests that forums seem to fill up with!! :) hahaha it's all good though I am figuring it slowly...

He's talking about the C34 RS260. The earlier model Stagea. Made by Autech.

There is no mechanical differences in the M35 models made by Autech (other than maybe springs...)

caveat being the 350S which we can't get...

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
