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

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
