Hello all,

I have never liked the shape of the older stagea although I have though many time...the running gear and specs were great.

I am looking to buy a Stagea..ARX..2004..with the VQ25DET motor and am interested

to know who hold compliancing for these things in Victoria...

I have searched on the Government web site and had no luck finding anyone here in Vic.

Can some one please direct me if they have one in Victoria and who they used?

Thanks in advance

Tekin

Thanks for the heads up......maybe need to wait until I can get it done down here...

I have an importer that can buy and bring in the car..but am not willing to send it to Queensland...

:(

Oh..anyone here in Melbourne seen one of these here or knows who has one?..I would love to see one in real life

# AR-X FOUR: A 250t FOUR (ie 2,5L turbo/4wd) model with increased ride height, leather, 18" rims and SUV-like body ornaments. 206 kW ELIGIBLE FOR IMPORT - COMPLIANCE UP TO 11/03 MODELS AVAILABLE

Out of the info on M35 Stagea Info thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/t185569.html

Have you checked out the axis model? they are the ducks nuts tho the arx is good too. the styling on the axis i just love. i am really considering selling the 32 to get out of the performance car bit and get into a bit of luxury...

i beleive a place in sydney compliance them too..

Sending it to Queensland isn't too bad actually. Kiwi will drop it off there and truck it down for free I believe.

Your importer should know about this I think.

We've done it a bunch of times for some models we import that can only be complied there.

cheers,

Hi Tekin

The ARX does have the VQ25DET motor. I just picked mine up in NSW from, http://www.northshoreprestige.com.au . He has a few ARX's in stock plus a great looking 250t RS FOUR with all the options.

Great car and so comfortable.

Cheers

The ARX model doesn't have the VQ25DET - the only M35 with one is the 250T RX FOUR.

And you're correct - no-one in Victoria currently bringing these in at the moment.

This is incorrect as the M35 AR-X does have the VQ25DET motor. I have one and am going thru hell trying to get it complied. See several threads in the Stagea Discussion area

^^ ye thanx bud shoudlnt be too much of a swaet considering im 98% there with my F348 test car whereby all evidence were made in house at my workshop... wen its up il contact ya and save u the hassle and just plate yours :)

Is this for the post 11/2003 Stagea with the VQ25DET?

Cheers

Muz

^^^^^^^ sure is :)

Hi,

Let me get this clear as, like Muz, I have been sweating on compliance for a 2004 M35 with VQ25DET for more than 6 months (car in my garage in Brisbane).

You have a post 11/03 test vehicle that you are working on gaining emissions evidence for?

Where is the vehicle?

You are confident of a positive outcome with Vipac?

If this is the case, what sort of timeframe are you looking at?

regards

Matthew

And please excuse my ignorance but what is a F348 test car? I know of a F348 Ferrari but nothing else .........

matthew,

my test vehicle is a 2002 build m35 stagea with a vq25det engine 4wd but im eligable to comply as late as the current builds. the car is yet to arrive in the country (early jan) and yes im very confident of getting approved to add this vehilce to my 9 or so other cars i can comply. emmisions arent an issue for me so its just basically waiting for arrival of the car and getting the ball rolling. I expect by march il be plating them

emmisions arent an issue for me

O really?

How come they are such a major issue for everyone else then?

If you are relying on a north Brisbane RAWS shop to sell you the evidence, you could be (like Muz and me) waiting for a very long time.

If you already have the evidence I will send you my car for compliancing...

2002 Stagea can already be complied as all the testing has already been done! Post 11/2003 is the real issue as they have to meet the more (apparently) stringent ADR 79 standards.

As I said on the phone, you will have no problems with the 2002 car as it already complies.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
