ok perhaps only with laundy detergent since its a fabric soaked probably for 1/2day.

Chook just to check with you when you install back the filter the clean side is facing right on the vertical . Means facing the driver's side? Let me know

My Factory AIR/NAV/TV system has a 'filter' symbol on the screen, shown during diagnostic mode, i assume this will appear when the air flow is slowed by the dirty filters. Sorry forgot to take photos.

whoa... a diagnostic mode for the xanavi system? cool! can it do consult?

There is a section in the STAGEA workshop manual for xanavi and consult system, although would probably display in japanese. Also appears to be a manual diagnostic which unlocks all sorts of hidden menu screens.

The manual diagnostic mode for the air con system is activated by holding down the OFF button after turning on IGN power.

Here are some pics for the curious, these are from an R34, but the instructions are the same for XANAVI and normal AC systems in Stageas.

interesting the a diagram from the workshop manual displays 'air conditioner' in english, whereas mine is in Japanese, maybe it can be changed through CONSULT ??

Some good info... not sure if I'm gonna keep the Xanavi at this stage or not, since I can't read Japanese :D It does look cool though and has lots of functions, and I like the colour climate display.

Looks like I've got a smoker's car; ash tray used a little (but not heavily) and cigar smell; gotta check that filter probably black

did mine today sticker in glove box said done 20 thousand ago but was still filthy all clean now

you inspired me today mike, i got under there and pulled them out. one slight issue for me was the (aftermarket) speaker wire has been threaded through one of the plastic parts making it a bit a pain to get the clearance to pull the filters.

otherwise a pretty easy job.

just out curiosity, does anyone know if it possible to remove the heater cores on S2 stageas without removing the whole dash. it looks fairly accessible through the glove box. i have been putting off replacing my broken heater core in my R33 due the pain of getting to it.

After cleaning mine today, i just thought id dredge up an old thread and let the newbies know, and remind us oldies, that they have an Air conditioner cabin filter in there Stagea that most probably has never been cleaned.

Thanks for the tip, another job for the list............and how was your filter looking after breathing that fine Queensland air since you cleaned it last?

sorry guys i have pics of doing this for an M35 as well. been slack editing my italy pic trips instead of this.

ill post up, piss easy job, and i thought they were actually black till i bought a new one from nissan. turns out they start life white in colour

Just took mine out then and it was a peice of cake!.. If only Holdens were as easy to pull apart as Stagea's.. Filters were filty as, looked like they had never had a clean.. there now soaking in washing detergant hopefully hey come up good as new!

Call me stupid ,but i tried to remove mine,took the glove box out,three screws and two metal clips ,it's still stuck .Discovered somebody was there before me the strip of plastic in front of it had been cut...

ok here are the pics of the filter location for M35 (V35 too i guess)

this is after removing the glovebox, i assume most people can manage that so i didnt photograph it.

The first pic is the location of the filter. pretty easy.

on the left is the clip that opens the door (pic 2) to remove the filter.

when you put the new filter back in, be careful not to squash your filter. there are locator things that stick out of the door. the filter resides in the top half of the gap.

my old filter was squashed and didnt filter too well, it was also black as shit.

the 3rd pic is the part number of the filter. its very much available in australia.

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
