Hi All, i am very interested in these M35.

Regarding the 4X4 system does any one no much about the distribution of power?

Is it like the older GTR systems full rear then spread to front when rear slips?

Are there aftermarket bias controllers available?

Regarding parts and so on what kind of costs are there? EG Auto failure Big Stuff and little stuff brake pads what fits.

The Big Question: Insurance? are there any 26 year olds on sau that have one of these fully insured? What does it roughly cost ?

Any futher info would be greatly appreciated

Pikie

The 4x4 system is rear biased but upon slips allocates upto 45% (from memory) to the front. On the ARX it has a limited slip rear diff as standard. The ARX also has 2 syncro modes for starting on gravel or snow. This allocates some power to the front up to certain speed then it goes back to rear bias and power to front on slippage.

Have a look at the link, http://www.nissan.co.jp/STAGEA/M35/0110/, there are demonstrations of various functions including the 4WD function and the modes.

I insured through Just Car as Shannon's would not insure me without a garage in NSW.

Hello,

I recently got my car insured by Famous Insurance ( Ex Vigil), previously they did not do M35 Stagea's, but after some discussions with their underwriters they now do them. I got a good quote for my Stagea AXIS. Under $1200 for a rating 1, over 30 on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

If you need more details PM me.

Ahhhh....looks like a good setup for the intercooler.

P.S. Like what they have done with the mesh over the inspection port on the cold air box....must get the mesh and do that myself.....saves buying a POD filter and produce's the same result.

P.S.S Also got a quote on doing the turbo up yesterday....not cheap...$1,200 for the highflow and new impeller.....good for 13PSI everyday though....must do!!!....must get more HP.....lol

Have you seen the airbox of a V35? They have a piece fitted to the front of the airbox that works to have it open like that and only get cold air!

sounds a lot cheaper than mine even with exchange rate and 12.5% gst factored in but I prob paid the mechanic's markup as well

I notice it feels stronger but there's more lag

can't tell you about hp as I haven't dyno'd it yet

Have a look at the intake on the far right of the picture.

Let me know if you can source the buttons? Do you have any contacts in the US?

What we really need is the English version of the software so we can read the screens!

Thanks for all the information, I am very interested in getting one of these M35's.

Quick question tho: I am trying to work out how what model gets the 3 gauges in the center console unit? from looking at the pictures I think they are turbo pressure, oil temp and maybe volts?? Obviously i would like to get a car with this as an option.

Or, does the TV screen display any engine management at all?

Cheers.

Also, has any one registed one of these in south australia? will I have any problems if I buy from interstate and register here?

I am pretty sure that it's the 2002 - 2003 Nissan Stagea 25T FOUR-V 4WD turbo your looking for. As for the TV screen....next to no info is on this....infact it's pretty useless until you convert it for TV/SatNav/DVD. The TV does display however your direction and fuel/travel info....plus some other shit of which I have no idea....need a translater...lol.

As for rego, I'm no expert but once it's complied you should be able to register it in any state(check with you dealer/compliance first).

having just got back from a trip up north I will say that this 250T RS four is an awesome touring wagon and will not disappoint

has tonnes of torque right where you need it and the awd comes into its own on those steep metalled surfaces where traction becomes an issue and in the wet, the tail-end of cyclone funa having crossed my path

I would like the ar-x if only for the fact that I like to venture over rougher ground where clearance is necessary

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
