I heard around the place that the M35 will be available for compliance in early 2007. Is this true? Seeing you can get one for less than 1,000,000 yen would make them a damn good car for the price. Anyone got an details on this model such as specs and options?

when they can be made look as good as this who wouldn't want one :mellow:

See my post in buyers guide for specs & options, if it doesn't work properly, go to google tranlation tools and re-translate the whole site.

no turbo either... V6 in everything. from the 4wd's to the 2 seater coupe...

the shape's not bad, but what's underneath doesn't interest me.

Justin...

Huh? they've got a VQ25DET engine - T being turbo :D and whats this about a 2 seater 2 door coupe?

What've you been smoking? Coupe? Stageas are all wagons...

thank you,at least one person knows of more than one model in the lineup.

if there's a 25 turbo version now,that's a step in the right direction. everything else I've sen come out in the last couple of years has been larger capacity NA.

if I wanted a larger NA powered wagon I'd buy a commodore.

Justin...

Meh gotta accept that there are more ways to make power than a 2.5/2.6L straight 6!!!

TT V8s, for example... Gotta get used to the change though... and adapt to NO ROOM in your engine bay lol

of course there are. I've owned most of them over the years,and I see,drive and work on different stuff everyday as part of my job. doesn't mean I want them however. I'm quite happy with the RB for my tow/daily car. when I want fun I take the S14 out,or work on the 86.

Justin...

I have seen one of the new stageas on ebay. I also thought they were a non turbo ..but this one says it is a turbo.So compliance must be already happening..unless it was brought in as a private import...seems odd that the newer skylines are not turbo but the stagea is...a good reason to get one!...

O.K. here goes...

the 250t RS four V \ 250t RS four V hicas and the 250t RX four are of course all turbo...206kw

the only 3L is the 300RX...191kw

all the rest, 250RX , 250RX four, 250 RS V and the 250 RS , 250 RS four are at 158kw

if i had my printer working i'd scan them....

at the time of writing the advertising booklet the most expensive was the 250t RS four hicas at 3,280,000 yen.

the cheapest was the 250 RS at 2,490,000 yen..add around 300k yen for 4WD.

thats my bit.

Theres also a 3.5 litre variant which has 200kw.

They are all heavier than the current stagea but make more power/torque.

I think the VQ25DET makes 405NM from the factory so its definately a true VQ grunter.

My tuner had one on the dyno that was putting out about 160kw in standard form which sounds awesome for a stock vehicle.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
