I saw someone else in this thread asking for vehicle details using the VIN for a stag, so I'm hoping I can do the same - it's NM35315451 - checkitout.com.au doesn't give me anything. It's a car I'm thinking about purchasing, and just trying to find out a little more about it before going to look.

Cheers.

I hope you are not in Australia Richard because that is a VQ25DD engine in that there 250RS four.

Not eligible for compliance.

Otherwise;

March '02 build

No HICAS

Cold pack option

and another option that I do not know (Code: GLSSW)

EDIT: I suppose if it was a private import that is already in the country, then you would be fine

Hmm that's interesting - this is the car for sale here: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Nissan-M35-STAGEA-2...7QQcmdZViewItem

As you can see, it's listed and being sold as a turbo.

BTW what's a cold pack? I've only just discovered the Stagea in the last couple of days and I've been devouring all the info I can find as it's fired my interest.

Oops. Sorry mate, dyslexia starting to kick in :rofl:

It is a 250t RS Four

Don't know what the options are though, maybe someone here that can read Japanese can tell you.

id say wrong number

the pics are showing an RX turbo (seats have electric adjustment, plus rear facing vents in the back) but fast is showing an RS

Agreed.

Perhaps give Carizma a call to let them know that either their pics or the VIN they have listed is incorrect.

i meant where you confirmed the above details as an RS four, when the picture you posted clearly states RX four :rofl:

yup. go sleep mate hahah you can FAST your heart out tomorrow

I know what you meant.

What I am saying is that the details are for an 250t RS Four, but the pics are for an RX four.

We actually agree, but it seems that you are having a bit of trouble accepting this.

im lost!

i was just pointing out you wrote RS when i think you meant RX. no big deal. go sleep mate lol

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... *sigh*

the first incorrect VIN I put in was for an RS.

(it is right about now I am so glad that my hours are extended until 6pm :rofl: )

My apologies for the confusion Richard.

no worries, I think I get the drift!

I might go check it out this weekend - anything else I should look out for while I'm there, seeing I'm a newbie to these things? Is there any easy way to tell if a particular vehicle has the side airbags installed and not just the drivers and passengers front airbags?

yup!

there will be 'airbag' or 'SRS' above where the seatbelt attaches to the B pillar. also i think on the A pillar. i cant remember........

just check the usual wear on the pedals, make sure it looks like it lines up with the amount of ks on the car. check for unusual sounds, especially in wheel bearings... also any harsh sounds coming from the turbo, hi-pitched squealing etc....

from the pics it looks clean and tidy!

Should be RX - have another look at the FAST info you attached (this is what Iain was referring to, not the pics from ebay).

Excuse me for pointing this out - it was starting to get confusing...

Perhaps give Carizma a call to let them know that either their pics or the VIN they have listed is incorrect.

again, looking at the FAST info above, the VIN does in fact appear to be correct.

Yeah, thanks Steve.

I am well aware what Iain was referring to and I did realise the error of my ways - check out my post 3 above yours.

(has been a very long and rather arduous week - and it's only Wednesday!)

I mixed up the 5 and the 1 when I originally put in the VIN which caused me to site that it was a VQ25DD, this is what I was referring to.

I thought I was clear in explaining my errors. Perhaps not. Maybe Nick will delete/edit the confusing posts to make it clearer?

haha sorry cam i didnt mean to hassle you that much :)

Haha! Nah man, no sweat.

You were just trying to tell me I missed something, and then that I missed that I missed something, and then that I was ignoring that I missed that I missed something...

...and I STILL didn't catch on! :)

    • Yes correct. Also, I'd avoid applying it to soft paint (however I doubt you'll ever have to deal with it in practice). So any paint that hasn't fully hardened, could be a 1k paint that never fully hardened or it could be a 2k paint that was laid down thick and hasn't yet fully hardened. 
    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
