I've had a bit of a search but as usual i'm impatient.

Long story short, the Mrs's dad wants a new car, he's thinking of a c200 mer station wagon, i'm trying to convince him to go a stag (mercs are nice and all, but you pay alot for a name).

Problem is it needs to meet atleast a certain mark on the luxury specs.

I noticed on the 350 cruise last friday that someones ( i think it was yours Andy) had the same leather/suede seats as my 350gt premium has in it. I cant seem to find any pics of any other stags with this tho so i dont know if its a factory option.

Can anyone advise? Ideally i want to suggest an M35 with a 25det 4wd and all luxury bells and whistles. Auto is preferred i think.

I can answer you. If you are after swede seats, the only model is the Axis (or Axis S). They were released in 2004 to 2006, while 2007 it was discontinued.

Unfortunately, you cannot import a VQ25DET after 2003. So your only engine option is the VQ35DE.

Here's what the seats look like.

bah i'm getting myself ass end up again i tihnk...

ok so let me get this straight, the seats above are from the 04 to 06 axis/axis s? but the vq25det importing stopped at 03??

according to the m35 info sticky theres no compliancing for the vq35's yet is that still right??

The sticky needs to be updated as you can import/comply and register VQ35's now. Just check my sig, that's where you can buy them from. :)

With the seats, apparently, the 04 models had these in the Axis, then in 05 to 06, they had these seats in the Axis S, while the Axis model had the full tan premium leather seats, which imo looks (and I bet it feels) darn nicer.

Hi Simon

The 2 you saw on Friday were both ARX's and they have a tan Nisleather trim. (I think that is code for slightly recycled leather).

The PM35 is a great option the motor is very similar to the V35 you know already and the interior is a little more contemporary.

Cheers

Andy

nice... like the black arx with the tan... might show him that one.

Red350 RX4 is nice too... oh and the bathurst... but only if you throw it in as a freebie :)

Heh Andy my mind must be playing tricks on me. i could have sworn you had v35 premium seats in yours. oh well... no biggylooks like the current offerings are pretty nice.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
