M35 Stagea Compliancing Info.

[700HP-GTR33]

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

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.

2004 no good

search nm35 in the stagea section for info.

just 3 people in Australia (all in Qld) doing these at the moment.

We will do them, eventually.....but not at the moment.

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

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..

[carizma]

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

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

Best of luck mate. I have been trying to get one thru the compliance process for 8 months now and doesn't even look like getting there.

^^^^^^^ 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?

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

[nuR.spec]

yep the ferrari f348

[autech_axis]

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.
