Hi Guys,

I am about to be the proud owner of a M35 Stagea :P:banana: .......Thing is the bloody HICAS light will not go out......Interesting thing is that the steering does not feel heavy in any way.

Can one of you brains out there give me some reliable information on this bloody light...

The car is immaculate and travelled only 52k, super clean and tidy. Is there a test mode you can run such as the gtst32's and 33's????

Who would have the diagnostic equipment and be reliable enough to trust to use it in the sydney area? Finally who is most likley to have M35 stagea parts in sydney?

Thanks Guys.

Congrats,

I just picked up once 2 months ago with 52k on the clock, it's up to 58k now :)

You'll need to put some pics and info up once you collect it so if we spot you around we can beep ya.

Not sure if this will help but recently there was a thread on ECU fault codes, give it a shot.

As for hooking up to computer for diagnostic etc, from what I've heard Hornsby Nissan are very popular and enjoy working on the imports. A lot of Nissan dealer's don't want anything to do with them regrettfully (i.e. Blacktown Nissan). I havn't been to them myself yet but will be in the next few months as I need a rubber seal replaced on my rear sunroof as it's split in the corner.

As for the parts, Nissan Australia could probably get them in but I would shop around just incase they are too expensive. There is a For Sale section to the Stagea forum which may be worth searching or even putting a Wanted to Buy (WTB) in and seeing what the guys have sitting around in the garage gathering dust.

I havn't used them yet but there is also a mob in SA called NissWreck (www.nisswreck.com.au) who sometimes have V35's being wrecked, you would need to make sure the part is the same as the M35 part though. But some food for thought incase you need stuff that is compatible with the V35.

Hope to see you at the cruise one Thursday night, we'll increase the M35 population ;) Maybe one day out number the Skyline's *evil laff*

Ouchies, nice driver side impact :D Imagine if it was a Hyndai or any typical aussie made ultra thin panel car. Cut the f*cker in half :P

And sorry about the address Ian, I meant to email it to you, I knew I had forgot to do something!!

I noticed the inside of the V35, especially the front, shares similiar interior and console etc. to the M35.

Hi all,

Thanks for your help fellas, Took the car to Nissan and put it on the diagnostics. Turns out that the warning light was coming on due to the HICAS relay having a low voltage out-put. How sweet are nissan diagnostic systems!!!!

Ill post up some pics when i get the car back.

Cheers

I picked up an AR-X yesterday and this morning the HICAS light came on. Noticed that the earth strap connecting the hicas motor and exhaust to the body was fairly corroded so I changed it (just made one out of heavy gauge wire) and it was fixed. Try this before you spend any money on mechanics.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
