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

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
