post-38769-1179790657_thumb.jpgHi - brand new to this board. And brand new to me (bought yesterday at auction in Kobe) is what I think may be the only Stagea Autech Axis version in Australia when it gets here? I'll post more later, but here's the spec:-

2004 Nissan M35 Stagea Autech 4WD Axis with VQ25DET motor (206kW, 407NM)

Autech suspension

Autech 18" factory mags

Autech body kit

Fujitsubo sports exhaust

Xenon (HID) headlights

DVD/TV/CD-MD/Satnav

Cream leather trim

5 speed tiptronic auto

Blinkers in side mirrors

Viper alarm

Now waiting on DOTARS to issue the import approval. My buyer says the car "drives like new, smells like new, looks like new". Rated 4 but should have been 5. 47,000km.

Can't wait!

Have posted pics in my gallery:- http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...i&img=61812

As I'm a newbie more advice about posting pics would be great, if anyone's interested in seeing them.

Look forward to advice about performance mods and comments about the styling (I like this car, but sure some will not!).

wow - nice one!

couple of questions thogh, Is it only available in an auto? I thought the main advantage of the Autech was that it was a manual?

Also, what difference is there mechanically between this and a usual 25T X four?

As for photos, you are best using a static IP hoster such as photobucket and direct linking from there, or just upload to your gallery and link the way you have done.

And welcome!

AFAIK auto only. I couldn't find a manual at auction.

There are dozens of different variations of the NM35 Stagea. This one has everything except sunroof. So, same engine / transmission as 250T RS Four V. The Autech contribution is limited (AFAIK) to suspension and body / interior mods only.

These cars are quite rare in Japan, and command a very high premium over the 250T RS Four V. There 's also an Axis S version which has 17" mags, different body kit and less glamourous interior.

As you might imagine I'm like a kid with a new toy, waiting for Xmas! I've got some hi-res pics from my buyer in Kobe and have spoken at length with him about it - goes very hard apparently and presents pretty well as new. Some of the Axis cars I've seen have a little Autech badge on the rear bumper, but for some reason this one doesn't.

I'll be itching to show it off in a couple of months.

Anyone know anything about tuning VQ25DET?

July 2004 was the last of the M35 turbos.

Out of all the M35 Stageas, only the Autech AXIS 350S came in manual from June 2003 to July 2004.

Like has been mentioned there are many different types of AXIS models from 2.5L to 3.5L, RWD to 4WD, turbo and non-turbo, with varying equipment levels. But the Axis 350S was the only MT variant from new.

wat are the differences between the normal m35 and an autech one?

It's merely a styling package with alot of the optional equipment offered in usual Stageas (depending on model) as standard, as an example, the only options available for Axis models were floor carpets, 'neoncontrol' (those little pop up antenna things that help you judge where the left front coner of the car is), and plastic side window visors.

apart from the body kit and rims? how about the engine?

Nothing... it's not a performance variant.

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
