stagea does 0-100 in class... y wd u wona go 180? 1 wrong move n ur toast!

the 260 has a fuel cut deffender in it... gets rida r+r i think.

TRACK DAY'S ;) , LIKE I SAID , WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW FAST A M35 WOULD GO , IM BETTING 250KM/H FLAT KNACK , JUST A GUESS :(

That's 156mph - my guess, bog standard or even with a good exhaust, would be about 210 km/hr

SHIT MY AU FALCON WTH 163KWS AT THE ENGINE WILL DO 225KM/H WITH THE LIMITER REMOVED , STAG HAS 206KWs , horse power dictates your final top speed ,why wouldn;t the stag be able to do maybe 235km/h ???? , heavier yes = longer to get to final top speed, but more torque to move the beast !!!! :blink:

I would agree with your guestimate.

Having had mine to ~195kph (or that's what the speedo said anyway), there was still plenty left.

I would be VERY surprised if mine could not hit the 250 mark.

Just make sure that your suspension is good and the road is smooth....

well yeh i've hit the 180 limiter in 4th gear at around 4000rpms, so thats nearly 1 and half more gears of power to go!!!!

so my guess would be that it would at least hit 250km/h

(5 sp manual of course :laugh:)

Don't forget air resistance increases to the square of your speed increase so it takes a hell of a lot of horse power to do 250Km/hr and I doubt that any unmodified Stagea would do more than 220 if that. When my S1 was up to around 200AWKW (270engine KW) I got to 200km/hr and figured it would be good for around 220-240 but sadly it is no more so i won't make it to the track day at Pukehoe to find out.

i'm presuming the nm35 is slightly more aero than my au111 falcon , and mybe an s1, i dont know i just like to hipothasize. :)

Has to be better in aerodynamics than the S1 & S2.

The M35 is based on the FM platform (which is the same platform as the R35, V35 plus others). FM is Front Midship, meaning the motor is mounted behind the front axle giving the car more neutral balance, in fact it is 52/48 weight front to rear, same as a R35 also (I wish that good). The design is also is zero lift generated at high speed (not sure what exact speed).

Get a really long piece of road and who knows what it will get to.

All I know for sure is that it will hit 180 (limited) in 3 gear. 2 gear to go but the last one will not give a big lift.

I wait with bated breath to hear what it will do...................................... :laugh:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • 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"
