Hey folks,

So Saturday we ended up purchasing a Stagea...

We checked out the Axis from All Imports, all seemed fine, but we decided against it. The whole situation seemed far to sketchy...

So we cut our loses, saved some money, and got a 250t RS Four from (next door) Japlink Motors. The fact the complied their cars there, mechanics were there, etc. I felt a bit more confident buying from there.

The interior needs a little love, but its nothing major. A good detail in and out and it would look at lot better.

A got a few questions about replacing things, and questions in general, but I'm not sure exactly right now...

I'll post some better pictures later on, but for now this will have to do.

Thanks guys. I'm pretty happy with the purchase.

As for the rims, I dunno hey. I will have a close look later and see if there is anything.

I'm happy with it.

I would like to tidy the interior up a little bit, and I found that tutorial to change the LED's in the dash and console, I'd like to do that eventually (despite knowing f**k all about auto-electronics)

Coming from a fan of VIP, I'd love to see this close to the ground as possible with some nice rims, wild offset, but for practicality reasons, I'm not sure I will venture that path...

Also, is it known with these for the headlights to go yuck. As in they aren't clear and have a haziness appearance to them. It's not bad, but it just pisses me off. I know a few models of cars a notorious for it, might replace one day

Bloody expensive to replace, just polish them with some plastic cleaner/polish, I use the two Meguiars ones and it works great. If the inside is milky you will need to bake the lights to remove the cover and polish the inside.

Apart from the exhaust, any other mods?

Nah, not that I am aware of anyways lol...

Yeah, I'm not to sure if its inside or not. I haven't really checked it out, just sorta noticed it and kept going lol

Looks nice Chris!

I do like that colour coding on the sides and rear bumper and that factory rear spoiler adds a nice finish to the rear.

Welcome.

I agree. Looks awesome. I was holding off putting on my front aero bar until I'd got those other bits but seeing your standard one's done up I'm sold. Booking mine in next week >_<

That rear spoiler doesn't do your Stag justice. . . let me take that ugly thing off your hands. . lol

Seriously though does anyone know where you can order those rear spoilers. .

Nice buy, Chris! Welcome to the Stagea ownership world!

Japlink have been around for ages, so you shouldn't have too many troubles with them, AFAIK.

Thanks, Glad to be apart of it haha

Well they have been pretty helpful so far, and I have read mostly positive reviews about them..

Welcome aboard, hope you enjoy your new purchase :laugh:

So far I am. Its funny seeing the other C34 Stagea owners snap their necks whilst driving to see this. As far as I know I'm the only M35 owner in town atm.

NICE!!!

Get some springs into it and your there.

I dunno whether to get springs, or hold off, and get airbags down the track. My driveway into the garage is not low car friendly. My LS400 struggled to get in, I've ground a fair bit of the concrete with her lol.

Good shite. What aero bar?

Yeah, I've made a cardboard replica, and used some Faber-Castel connector pens to colour it in. Should look close to the original :down:

Thanks for all the kind words. I'm really loving it. Once I can start fixing some shabby bits, and make it a nice car should be good...

I've got a question, the pop-up screen that comes in the a few of the models standard, can you buy those?

Mine has this after-market Sony one, looks shit, and the piece of crap doesn't work (even if I get it to work, looks like shit)

Funny story already, showing my Fiances brother the car (which he thinks is awesome, he thought I was getting a C34 and has never seen an M35 before lol) a guy driving down the street in a Liberty real slow, almost comes to stop, looks at the car, looks at us, goes "WWWOOOWW" then drives off. Pretty random and funny.

Since it is a factory spoiler from the Aero kit, I would say Nissan can help you out (just get the part number for them :laugh:)

Or you could talk to Aaron at Import Monster or Jesse Streeter... Either could send one over for you :laugh:

Yep, again jump on the Import Monster website to browse Yahoo Auctions.

You will need to make sure you get the screen, bracket assembly, DVD ROM and possibly the centre console (there are usually one or two complete sets available)

I've never used Import Monster before, but what would be the best terms to search for these? I don't even know what its called.

EDIT : I just typed in M35, finding everything from Toasters to Machine Guns...

I did find these, the look way cool, but expensive!

Just found this page...

Try this then (just copy and paste)

ステージア m35

It will filter out all the mircoscopes & machine guns.

Another way would be to use the menu on the left of the screen to sort through categories.... you can miss stuff this way though

Be wary with headlights with Angel eyes.... the majority of the time they require you to send your headlights over for modifying... and shipping costs on headlights is really nasty.

Edited by iamhe77

You will also need the "Navi DVD ROM" which is the brains for the unit... I am of course assuming you want the info that gets displayed on the popup screen (fuel economy, servicing etc)

EDIT: Dunno if that will be compatible with a normal head unit either... I don't believe that the integrated unit was available for the RS (you would probably have the single DIN head unit and the 3 gauge cluster (torque split, battery charge, boost)

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
