So does anyone know someone that has one? Has anyone seen one in the flesh?

I'm set on one for a replacement for the S15 when it goes. I'll be checking some out on the weekend I think with the mrs. she wont be driving it very much at all, so she wont be worried about the size or how fast it is - or isnt

Im looking at a 2.5L V6 turbo model, not the 3.5L V6 model. I thought they were 5 speed autos but it looks like they are 4 speed!

I want leather and the pop-up tv

EDIT: according to this page they are 5 speed autos!

There is one parked about 10m from my house. I've seen a few around. This one has 19s and an aftermarket exhaust. Looks nice, appears to be larger than the old WGCN34 model as well. It needs at least 18s or 19s to look good but I think the stock wheels on the high spec models are 18s anyways.

There is a review in HPI a couple of issues ago...they said it was heaps better than the old one (I can scan it if you want).

North Shore Prestige comply them, so head down there if you want to look at one in the flesh.

in all seriousness,have a look through the stagea section on SAU as well. a few guys have had issues with either importing their m35's,or with little niggling issues like getting the GPS and tv's to work here.

my model is worth all of $15k these days and there are a tonne of them on places like car sales atm,not to mention on SAU.
parts are a LOT easier to come by for the ***C34 variants than the M35,a lot of it is interchangeable with the other nissan models (silvias,skylines etc). the M35 is still a bit of an unknown. Z33 or G35 gear probably bolts in,but they're still far from common in comparison.

I do believe, there was a very large incident over at SAU with 2 people importing the m35's only to get them knocked back becuase of different make dates? I think it was something to the VERY short time period of models alowed in?

very random lol

justin, i love your C34 shape but im looking for something newer and more fuel efficient. i dont mind about the sat nav and tv, i dont HAVE to have them, but i want leather seats..... and maybe a sunroof

for some reason the new shape has grown on me. the 5 speed auto seems nice too.

i WONT be importing one myself, ill be getting from a dealer or private, there are several on carsales etc so ill be looking around!

hmm looks like AR-X models are more common with the tv than with leather! looks like most that are here came with heaps of options like sunroofs etc

i guess i MIGHT be able to live without leather lol

the low 20s prices are good, negotiable being private sales. so i think ill be ok assuming i can move my S15. its just a damn shame i cant keep it

i dont earn enough money for 2 nice cars

MXFly/Eugene has a current model Stagea. He seems fairly happy with it.
