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.

I have a scanguage 2, and would like to use it instead of a whole bunch of gauges.

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

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
