Fell in love with M35 Stagea and now I want to import one for myself.

The problem is that it would be the first in Finland and to get it approved it has to have OBD (on board diagnostics)

and there is no information about that in the net, or atleast I can't find it.

Some japanese JDM-cars have it, some don't. I know that for example S15 Silvia doesn't have it

Is anyone familiar with OBD ?

Thanks for Your help...

America has a similar requirement for OBD and there is a standard, OBD II, which I am sure all current Japanese cars will meet. Nissan had their own version of OBD called "consult" but this is not compatible with OBD reading equipment. I don't know when Nissan changed over to an OBD compliant system - maybe a current M35 owner (my car is older) can tell you.

Can not tell you for sure, but I can faintly remember reading that Consult 3 is OBD compliant.

Consult 2 works on NM35's, Consult 1 does not.

I do not know about Consult 3, but I hazard a guess that it would be fine if your dealerships over there use it.

Given that the M35 is very similar to the V35, and the V35 is sold in the US and is OBD2 complaint then I'd be very surprised if it wasn't.

Connector on a V35 is under the dash below the steering column on the drivers side - unclip a little panel and there it is (just checked it was there on my V35 250GT). Most likely in the same place in a M35 given that they share the same dash setup.

Chris Rogers might know for sure where the connector is on a M35.

Also might be worth talking to this guy who sells OBDII/scan tools for Nissan's (he's based in NZ):

http://www.blazt.biz/

Looks like his scan tool hasn't been tested on a Stagea, but has been tested on a V35.

its in the same place as a V35 - above your left foot.

I have used a generic tool (launch 431) on one and it's OBD2 compliant. the protocols are nissan specific for the early ones (later are CAN) but it;s OBD2 ( they put that in place after 96 or so.)

working on the V35/M35 theory I do not see a problem with the BLAZT items.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
