do you think it would fit in our M35's? comparing between this and my sisters V35. the box is the same.. would the AFM tell it to f**k off in other words.. lol

Yes, It does fit.. Danny had it fitted to his Gold ARX when he had it.

Yep, as Andy said, straight bolt in... but sadly it is canary material in Vic (you already have the FMIC)

yeh but it looks stock...and its sooooo nice.. :( thanks for ruining me cam haha

Would they notice it though? coz it looks stock right?

You see the pod through the powerduct

I've seen the setup...it is nice....sounds good too.....why is it defect material.....the POD is separated from the engine bay?

irrelevant. One intake mod allowed in Vic.

Aaron has a FMIC so that is it for legality.

lol ok me and scott decided. this is happening after my first tune. so the addition of it being added can actually be determined as worth it or not.

if its an 11 hp gain for vq35de then it should be huge for a forced induction - with the addition of a larger suction pipe.. plus i'll find a loop hole before then.

Looking at Stillen's site:

http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?id=STIZTBE01&c=PE&year=2003&make=INFINITI&model=G35%204DR

What's the 2nd kit? a straight tube?

Interesting that no one's got a CAI on the M35 yet...which means the stock air box is...tolerable?

2nd kit is for N/A VQ35/25's.

You can get a pod and enclose it if you really want one. Blitz and M's have pod "kits" but they just sit behind the headlight.

Stock airbox with powerduct/home made powerduct will be sufficient.

the Z tube is a piece that goes between the AFM and the throttle body. The std G35/V35 PNM35 unit has all these baffles and shit that is designed to reduce intake resonance. This gets shafted in place for a straight tube off a Z33. more power(?) and better intake sound.

Wont fit on a NM35

Hi,

I have been lurking here for a while now......

I have been wanting to get a Stagea for about 7 or 8 years and I am finally about to make the move.

I am looking at M35's but after hours on this thread and others I am a bit concerned about the turbo issue.

Are they guaranteed to go about 100,000km, or is it just a few that it happens to? And would an ARX4 be worse due to the higher boost?

As far as I can tell this is this case and the repair bill can be around $2k.

If anyone could clarify it would me much appreciated.

Cheers

NO guarantees on the turbo's at all, I have been told of them failing as low as 50'000km (but that car was found to have at least 50'000km would back on the clock) and I know mine was still good at 125'000km (ARX). Whilst it was still working, it was starting to go as oil was leaking from the bearing. I think if you look after the car, change oil every 7000km as a minimum with quality oil you could see 150'000km from this turbo. You are going to have to hope the previous owner looked after the car as well as you would.

If you need to change the turbo, there are a number of option to rebuild the turbo. You can have it rebuilt the same size from about $800 or a large high flow up to $2000. The removal of the turbo and replacement is the hard work. The best method is to remove the motor and gear box. This is about 6 hours of work so a few dollars there.

If the turbo worries you, have a look at the PM35, the NA version of the same car with a 3.5L motor. Very good car, newer and a little more expensive. They are available from North Shore Prestige.

Good luck with your decision.

Cheers

i own an m35 with 117k on the clock - probably more as the cluster HAD been removed at some stage before - and its still going

also have another one with 105k on the clock and its also running fine.

if you look after it, it will keep going.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
