Selling as I am planning on buying a smaller car.I am the 1st Australian owner of this Nissan Stagea ARX which was bought in October 2010 from Northshore Prestige who always sold the best examples of this car with a genuine(checked) 68716 kms on the clock. I had the car professionally inspected prior to purchase and the car was in A1 condition for the age & kms travelled. I am a mature owner and this car has been an amazing family wagon for the last 4 years. There are no local wagons sold which match this car for performance, luxury and practicality. The car has been very well maintained with 6 month service intervals using top quality fluids. The rocker cover gaskets and battery were replaced in 2011 and the radiator was replaced in 2012. The standard suspension was replaced with height and damper adjustable BC coilovers last year(setup by Heasmans suspension) and at the same time the front balljoints and cv boots were replaced. The standard turbo was getting very noisy so last year this was replaced by a rebuilt Precision Turbochargers SS1 highflow turbo which is much more durable than the original turbo. The turbo is now nearly silent as it should be. If you look at a M35 Stagea that has not had the original turbo replaced and you can hear a loud turbo whistle when the car is on boost expect the turbo to fail in the near future as the original turbos always do on these cars. Along with a full custom 3" exhaust this has given what was already a very quick car a decent amount of extra power and torque even running standard boost levels. The car was dynoed after these mods and made 187kw atw with perfect afrs and 15psi boost. This would be over 250kw at the engine. The brakes have been upgraded with high performance pads(I will include the original pads too) and the original battery has been replaced with a new high capacity one. The car has been fitted with Prorack roof racks & these are included in the sale but the Thule bike racks in the photos are not being sold. The interior is standard apart from a turbosmart boost gauge and a Kenwood cd player that has replaced the standard built in Japanese system. The car has full factory floor mats and a cargo liner and the original carpet is unmarked and the leather seats are in good condition. The car is very comfortable and has electric everything including heated seats and everything works as it should. The lights are auto hid. For extra security the car has been fitted with a high quality Autowatch immobiliser with central locking. Any inspection is welcome and the car is being listed at a bargain price below redbook value despite the genuine low kms and thousands of $ worth of quality modifications as I am ready to buy a new car.

I did the same thing a few months ago.... I'd replace the fuse asap as your tail lights are on the same circuit & will be out too. Check my post in the link below for the fuse location- http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/428234-tail-light-fuse-location/?hl=%2Bfuse+%2Bbox#entry6918665

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/181138430477?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 This is the cheapest pollen filter I could find to fit a M35 at about $11 delivered. I fitted the same one a few weeks ago & the quality seemed at least as good as the Ryco one I used before. The postage from the UK only took a week too.

Found it.... If anyone ever has the same problem it's the 5th 10A fuse down on the left in the box behind the battery. A blown glove box light on the same circuit caused it to blow. I must have knocked it when I installed a boost gauge a few weeks ago.

Ok,I found the 3rd fuse box behind the battery where it must be but there are no labels in or on the fuse box. Does anyone have a translated diagram to save me testing about 20 fuses? Cheers, Matt.

Hi, can anyone tell me where the fuse for the rear lights is located? I have found 2 fuse boxes but can't find a fuse for the tail lights. The fuse that has blown is for the tail lights & some of the dash lights. Cheers, Matt.

Thanks, I ended up sending the line in behind the battery & doing a stealth install in the top section of the glovebox where the satnav computer goes. It's now out of sight when I don't need it & I didn't have to pull half the dash off. Cheers. Matt.

I'm about to install a boost gauge & was wondering what firewall grommets people are using to pass a vacuum line from the engine bay to the cabin? I found where the wiring enters behind the battery but is there anywhere on the drivers side I could use as I want to mount the gauge on the A pillar? Cheers, Matt.
