Hey guys

I'm going to look at an M35 ARX to buy within the next week or so as i bloody love these cars. If all goes well ill be buying it when i see it. the only thing is it has the black trim on the center console but cream leather everywhere else, if someone wants to swap for their wood grain i would happily swap for mine.

Let me know if you are keen as this will be another incentive for me to buy the car.

If you want to swap for anything else, here is the ad of the car I'm looking to buy in case you see anything you like. or if you see any obvious faults which i could have missed.

I'd be interested to hear more about the AEM ECU; PRT had a hand in tuning another Stagea a while back.

Good luck; I hope the car is as good as it looks.

how do you find yours? are you happy with it?

would you know if it is it expensive to get a reverse camera fitted to the screen? this one doesnt have it

and no i dont suck at parking lol, the aim of the car was some thing that had room for moving, future kids, auto so the mrs can drive it and it had to have some balls..turbo esp(she doesnt know that.)

Absolutely brilliant car; I love it.

A reverse camera is a pretty easy mod; but you would probably be better off doing it as part of a head unit upgrade.

Camera is very useful; no judgement here.

Welcome to the forum also; heaps of useful info, and at pretty damn fine bunch of people too. ;)

cheers Daleo.

Do you recommend just getting a good head unit that has a reverse camera on it and get it done altogether?

Im 90% sure ill buy the car, the guy knows his stuff and he got it from an importer that i trust and all my mates who imported cars from them do too.

Theres just a few things i want to do to it when i get it. like weather shields, wood trim center console (might look for a V35 skyline one since they're the same) and reverse camera/aux/satnav

You reckon what im seeking is rare/expensive?

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?

      Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
