Im gonna make a guess and say you're going to get 170-180 awkw once tuned :woot:

That sounds like a reasonable guess....knowing that this guys dyno always shows condervative figures means I would rather the car perform at its best than just show up ridiculous figures.

Once its all finished....would be great to compare other Stags with similar power outputs on the same Dyno.

Having given the car a hard run through the Old Pac Road on Thurs Nights cruise....I'm very impressed with its standard form so any extra performance is an absolute BONUS!!!!! :)

yeh there not to bad through the old road....you can certainly feel there weight in braking though.....pity I could not get there last week....would have enjoyed the Old Road drive..

Yep you sure feel the weight under brakes....

Jetwreck any news on the cost of flares for the AXIS....You were sourcing an avenue for well priced parts for the NM35's any luck yet???

Mate....I tried but I got sick of chasing for answers.....best I can do is trade price.

Soooo, what kind of parts can you get? OE? Nismo? Other aftermarket gear?

On that, does anyone know who the company is that sell Nismo in Australia?

I have tried Nissan, but it would seem that Nissan JAP have sold the distributorship rights to another company.

Nissan would not tell me who.

.....still watching intently

That is unlike Nissan to not help you. :)

Actually, Ferntree Gully Nissan down here are normally very helpful - with the exception being parts pricing.

Any other dealerships have been next to useless.

Including one that stated that because it was a "Japanese car", they could only treat it like a they would if they were to work on a Falcodore and charge me $95/hr too "look it over" without diagnostics since all the error codes would "be in Japanese anyway".

Is that kind of service what you were referring to Andy? :D

Aren't we the baddies in Nissan's eye's? These terrible people who import cars (legally)... :D mind you, if I did not do this I would not be driving a Nissan.

My experiences have been good but I see there stupid press releases about trying to catch all us nasty people..

Couldn't agree more.

Perhaps if they released interesting cars over here, there would not be such a large number of imported Nissans.

Whilst I am not much of a fan of them, just think if they had brought in the R33! Almost as common as a blade of grass.

If it was not possible to import what I have, I would probably be driving around in a Caldina or a Legnum.

Nice cars but.... THANK GOD!

I would be driving a Liberty GT...

IMHO, if Nissan Australia would just get their act together and bring in cars that people want to drive instead of blaming the "low volume" importers for their inaction. My M35 set me back $16,000 compiled, What does Nissan Australia have to offer for that price? A Pulsar? And it boggles my mind how Nissan Australia could have ignored the Stagea when during the same period Legacy Wagon sold like hot cakes... anyways, end rant. :yes:

Bargain at anywhere from $16-25k.

Whilst I ask why they weren't imported as well, I have to remind myself that they would have cost $60-80k if Nissan had brought them in.

Do you think that they would have sold many Axis for $80,000?

.....maybe if they were re-badged as "Infinity", the naive Aussie public would have bought them as a luxury tourer.

Sorry to Hijack the thread NRVOUS.

Have you heard anymore about the ECU re-map?

Do you have a dyno readout yet with or without ECU mod?

Is the ECU re-map a Nistune re-map or something else (sorry if we have covered this, memory like a goldfish at times :P )?

The stock ECU will be completely remapped, the tuner is still sorting out fine details on a test ECU before he's prepared to start working on customers cars....like everyone else following this thread I'm keen to get this baby rockin....and I can assure you it will definitelty happen.

There will be no bullshit piggy back systems here.....This will be a complete remap of all parameteres to get the best out of the car on 98 OCTANE fuel

Once I'm given the thumbs up we will log before & after mods on the same day with same weather conditions so we can minimise & limit an variations.

Be paitent my boy and things will happen :/

Here's a sneak preview of a pre existing project prior to my purchase of the AXIS....(PROJECT BAVARIAN) M535I just swallowed a 1UZFE Quad Cam 4.0L V8 will be on the Road in the New Year

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
