    I'm interested in what the Target Ign Timing Adjust does?

    I haven't played in that menu, the book doens't mention it either

    I'll have to investigate it and see if it actual changes anything

    A Cheap Scan Tool

    Posted

    I got this OBD2/consult memoscan N607 tool a while ago,

    Still not that cheap but I can confirm this one does work on NM35 2001 Stagea (VQ25DET)

    it can read/clear error codes for the engine and srs system (i haven't tested it on the Srs system as i have 8 airbags and aint messing with the system if it's not complaining)

    and it has the description for the code no's built in, it also gives lots of different sensor readings

    This just makes it a bit simpler for playing with the codes and diagnostics, not for a incar install like an infometer or the like

    I got it from here

    http://www.dealextre...ar-1-6f22-47139

    that pricing is USD, can be found a litle cheaper around thou

    the main menu list - options/readings are

    Worksupport - Fuel Pressure Release / Idle Air Learn / Target Ign Tim Adjust / Target Idle rpm Adjust

    Engine - Read Trouble code / clear trouble code / data monitor / active test / ecu part number

    A/T - (cannot comunicate)

    ABS - FR RH sensor Km/h / FR RH OUT sol / FR RH IN sol (also for FR LH,RR RH, RR LH) / Stop lamp sw / motor relay / actuator relay

    Airbag - Read Current DTC / Read Past DTC / trouble diag record ecu discriminated No.

    BCM - (cannot comunicate)

    The Stuff in the data monitor section is

    Coolant Temp

    Vehicle speed sensor

    battery voltage

    int/a temp se

    ign timing

    turbo bst sensor

    purge vol c/v

    Can Circ 5

    Can Circ 4

    Can Circ 3

    Can Circ 2

    Can Circ 1

    Can Comm

    Some of it means nothing to me, some of it useful, my cars mil light came on, so i plugged it in and the code came up as "PO0345 - CM P sen/circ B2" = P0345 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit (Bank 1) on iamhe77's list. So the fault description is brief but there (still had to lookup the list)

    Cleared the code easily, not that cheap but better that doing the ignition/Accelator pedal sequence

    Who has some accurate production numbers of Stageas? C34 and M35 please.

    I saw some on the interwebs long time ago, and can't find them now!

    U thinking of these figures or something different you saw?

    Yes all Japanese new car registrations, and 09 was first year on sale for the Skyline crossover...

    In context, the M35 registrations in Japan;

    Year___2.5 Turbo___2.5 NA___3.0 NA____3.5 NA____Total

    02_____6,118_____10,208___ 2,038________0_____18,364

    03_____4,004_____ 6,679_____312_________0____10,996

    04______656______6,502_____342_____1,005______8,505

    05________0______5,149_______0_____1,354______6,503

    06________0______3,028_______0______803______3,831

    07________0______1,125_______0______309______1,434

    08________0_________0_______0________2__________2

    Sorry, no splits before 2001 but totals for all Stageas are;

    01__13,631

    00__16,021

    99__20,456

    98__25,344

    97__48,313

    What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

    Went to get the english conversion from Brad (Ducati 02), but my factory dvd/gps unit is stuffed (this explains why it had aftermarket jap tv tuner/gps fitted when it arrived from japland), cleaned the laser but no good. Didn't want to fork out for a new unit, so ended up with just a video block instead. Thanks to brad, can't recomend him enough, good guy and knows his m/v35's inside out.

    I has the same issue with the english conversion - the Dvdrom wouldn't work. Tried the Laser cleaner discs but it didn't help, i even added thick velcro on the cleaner disc so i could here it scrapping the lens, hey couldn't break it much more and it only needs to be able to run the conversion once... but to no avial :(

    I didn't want to pay for a replacment dvdrom either, so next step i pulled the dvdrom out (noone was stealing that with how well its mounted in there) and took the caseing off so i could physically rub the laser lens with a cotton bud and metho, but even that idea was working against me as even with the cover off it's still a pretty enclosed unit, but there was a little little little hole where i could get access to the lens (only with trimming the cotton bud down a little to fit it in the hole)

    Anyway point of the story..... It Worked!!

    I was able to get the langunge conversion without having to buying a new Rom :banana:

    Did my oil+filter change today

    And gave the car a polish, ready to the vic cruise

    last weekend i finally got round to put on the Whiteline swaybars i got back in the group buy

    Sensational Improvment - far exceeding my expectations, banana.gif

    would have done it a lot sooner if i knew there was that much difference

    Fuel , Do I Have A Real Choice?

    in Wagoneers

    Posted

    I was recently in country NSW and couldn't get the BP Ultimate 98 Ron (what i normally run on) or any other brand 98 Ron fuel

    So had to go the standard Premium 95 Ron for couple of tanks

    Didn't have any issues on it other than i could feel a bit of loss in my accelation power

    and my engine didn't have as much of the throaty growl from the air intake on acceleration (Air filter inspection cover removed)

    Even with the very limited Fuel staions there was still the option for the Standard Premium 95

    if i didn't have that option would have definately been using the octance booster

    Stagea Fuel Economy

    Went for a 3200km Drive on the Easter Break with the old folks, So gave the car a pretty good test

    Melb->Eden, mostly Highway and some hills = 9.1L per 100km on 98

    Eden->Hay, Up & Down the Snowy mountians & Highway = 10.5L per 100km on 95

    Hay->Adelaide, all flat Highway = 9.5L per 100km on 95

    Adelaide->Melb, fully loaded with heayy crap = 9.7L per 100km on 98

    Quite happy with the results, especially the mountian pass thought i would have burned a lot more fuel on that

    Normally round town i'm anywhere from 11.8-16.9L depending on my mood,

    have a tendancy to enjoy burning fuel for no good reason :D only to get to the next set of lights pinch.gif

    Best i've done so far is 8.6L down to Queenscliff (just me and work tools)

    Did notice that the Fuel light had 10L in the tank on the highway driving, but normally has 15L left on the heavy right foot driving

    Maybe its linked in with the trip computer data aswell as liquid level, could explain why people notice the Gauge level fluctuate a bit

    Interior Lights.

    Posted

    On my nm35, the interior light only operates from the door switch if the key is still in the ignition

    as long as the light swtich is in the middle, it operates when unlocking the doors from the Remote control and then switches off when the ignition is turned to ON

    and when exiting the car, it turns on when the key is removed from the ignition and off upon locking the car with the remote.

    But if the Key is out of the ignition the door switch does not control the interior light

    Easy job replacing the cabin filter? Did you buy a cabin filter from Ebay?

    Yeah the Cabin filter i got was one of the ebay ones, Charcoal Carbon Filters US$24.83 shipped to OZ

    http://cgi.ebay.com/...RK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

    Where's the Second fuse box????? I know of the one behind the battery, I know of the one down near the accelerator pedal. Where's the other?

    In my head the Fuse boxes are"

    1, Driver Footwell Kick Panel

    2. The Rectangle Box in front off the battery (Maybe more of a Relay box but theres fuses in there)

    3. The box behind the battery on the firewall under the wiper trim, this is the one i didn't reliaze was there (which is probaly considered the main one)

    Had the car since end of Jan and this weekends been the first chance i've got to play on the car, only small stuff thou

    1. replaced Cabin Filter

    2. installed the Fm band expander (cardealer said they were going to put this in but didn't)

    3. Pulled the DVD Rom out and Opened it up to physically clean the laser. Put i back in and now it works

    so i can finally have the english conversion done (couldn't read the disc first time)

    4, Installed a Reverse camera to the factory tuner, not essential but i figure if you have a Screen on the dash it might as well have a camera

    Interior was in many pieces, but all when back together fine with only a couple of spare clips left over.

    I did aciddently short the reverse light fuse and couldn't find the fuse to replace it.

    wasn't to concerned and was going to sort it out later, until i tried to start the car and found out that it won't start without it

    anyway searched the forum and learnt about the 3rd Fuse box hidden behind the battery on the firewall, so alls good again

    i always thought the 2 fuse boxes i knew of didn't have enough to cover all the elec systems in the car

    and It amazes me how they decided what areas of the Stagea needed to have English text and Japanese text on the other bits
