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.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
