Heya all,

Was just having a few service items done at Northshore Prestige today and saw they had the M35 Stagea waiting for some last minute compliance work. I'm guessing it's the first in Australia... ???

Took some photos so you could all check it out. Looks like they'll be going through a few of these.

A bit like this one.

Luv the two way boot.

Dont know about the two tone dash though.

Yeah seen that one a couple of months ago, Ernie (Nizmo Motorsports) has it and can comply them.

I love the m35, it just needs a half decent body kit to finish it off!

I looked at these before buying my (the wifes) series 2, but decided not to due to 1) only in auto, and 2) engine change to the VQ25DET - and I preferred to stay with the tried and trusted RB25DET NEO. Instead I got the latest series 2 S I could find, which was only a few months before they stopped making them.. :happy:

i dunno guys the new shape looks more like a volvo than the old ones and the interior does nothing for me at all if anything i think the took a step backwards just dont seem to have the air and style of the rs4sorry guys just my 2 cents worth ....mike..........

1) How much does it weigh?

2) What is the biggest engine it has?

3) Does it come in manual?

4) It is 4wd?

5) How much is it?

6) Am I annoying you guys?

1) The heaviest AR-X Four version weighs 1710kg. Goes down from there to 1550kg for the RWD 2.5L 250RS.

2) It was 3.0L till 2004 when the 3.5L VQ35DE was introduced to the Stagea (finally).

3) No! No manual for you Stagea people! It's a shopping/family car! If you think the VQ35DE is a 'Skyline/Fairlady Z' engine, then think again! It's also in the ElGrand people mover van... talk about versatile.

4) Yes, 4WD is offered for all capacities (2.5, 3.0 and 3.5) in varying trim levels.

5) New they're between $30,000 and $40,000 in Japan.

6) Only if you get me to answer all these questions then *don't* get an M35 :yes:

An old colleague of mine in Japan had an M35, and while it was only the 2.5L 250RX, he had the 'AXIS' M35 kit and wheels on it (AXIS is one of Nissans optional parts divisions, as is 'Own') and it looked the goods. Pity it was AT.

I'm never going to get one. It's been a pain in the butt converting my S1 to manual, no way i'd try and do it on the V6. also they got rid of the frameless windwos, whats the go with that? that was the main reason i got one over an R34 4door. too bad nissan, you could have done much better...

Yeah ^^^ I've always thought the frameless doors are what set alot of Japanese sedans and the Stagea apart. The old Accord Aerodeck had frameless doors too I think? Makes all the difference.

To the best of my knowledge, no S2 stagea autechs were made?

I mean, ive seen some with RB26's and Autech kits, but i didnt think Autech actually made anything 98+ (aka, s1)

I think you've got a case of 'out of sight, out of mind'... S2's were made, but I've only ever seen them in pics.

The S1/2's were made between 08/1997 and 09/2001

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
