I found this forum while searching for info on the Stagea. Been wanting one, and might have a chance to get decent money for the Kei Car I have now. Been looking at the MY 2000 body style, but was wondering some things. What kind of self or mail order tuning can be done, and does anyone know when JOBD/EOBD was installed in the cars. I have a scanguage 2, and would like to use it instead of a whole bunch of gauges.

Hi Jason, i'm assuming by saying a 2000 model your interested in the older shape C34 Stagea's? You might want to have a read through this thread Link to Stagea Buyers Guide, it has a fair bit of info on what to look for and what to expect when in the market for a C34 Stagea. But just incase you meant the newer shape M35 Stagea, have a look through this thread, Link to M35 Info Thread.

There should be quite a few options you could go for as far as tuning goes, all depending on what level of modifying you want to go to, auto/manual, C34 or M35 etc. id say there would be places in japan that could remap/chip the ecu for you, replace the whole ecu or even just a piggy back setup. With the Scanguage 2, as far as i can tell it only supports OBD II??? The C34 Stagea uses the older OBD I, but the newer M35's i believe use the newer OBD II.

Nope, I dont think the scanguage will work on m35 but there are a few other units that will. Its a weird version of OBD2 with different pinouts from what I could work out.

As for tuning there are a few suppliers who will chip your ecu if you send it to them, search Krom. There are complete ecus you can get also such as Nismo and Mines.

M35's started production in 2001 so the 2000 model is the C34.

Not sure on the OBD side of things but I believe M35's use CONSULT-3. Last time I took it to a local nissan service workshop their software couldn't talk to it...so I'm assuming they didn't have the latest version??

OBD-II

Most Consult-2 scanners (software update I have been told, maybe their's had not been updated) and ALL Consult-3 scanners will work.

OBD2 - J1850. mine reads the car (at $4400 it better!) and that is a launch diagun.

if it ends up being a C34/consult vehicle rather than C35/odb2, then you can sell your scangauge and get an ecutalk display

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
