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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
