Hi guys.

i have an Axis Autec. its an 02 with cloth interior, no nav/screen.

reading a few of the older posts it refers to some of the differences etc between the RS-4 and the RX-4 and the ARX

going on Carsales there are some Axis cars badged incorrectly for example

this car advertised is clearly an Autec Axis but the wheels are missing.

Autech Axis - missing wheels

this car advertised is what you would consider an Autech Axis but is badged an ARX

ARX Autech Axis?

so i guess what im asking is did the NM35 Axis Autec come from a variety of different models or did they all start as a particular model ie, RS-4.

or could you take your Stagea no matter the model to Autech and have it modified to be an Axis.

its hard to distinguish as they all have different options etc. some with Sat Nav, some without, Some with elec Seats and some without, some with Leather some without. if you read the autech page listed in the M35 info sticky link it shows many different options.

Hi Garett

It is a little hard to give you a straight answer to this question as you can see by the cars listed it is a little confusing.

Most Autech Axis are from the RS/RX body and they are speced up but as you said, there are many different options that could be selected. The first car you listed is definitively an Axis with ARX wheels. As cars need to be complied as a factory car it is quite possible this car had non factory wheels when it was imported and they fitted wheels they had for compliance.

The second car you listed started life as and ARX (can be determined by the interior trim) and seems to have been optioned up with and Axis body kit.

I would say you could take any car to Autech and have it fitted with special options.

Cheers

Andy

I've never seen an Axis without leather before. What colour is the cloth interior?

it's black. With a suede like charcoal in the centres, black carpet. The car is pearl white which correct me if

I'm wrong only came on autech models

Im correcting you, Mine is the same. :(

If you want to know the factory specs I can run the Vin for you, will show if anything has been modified since.

can you get me a pic of the front wheel barring assembly? Just use your Vin otherwise I have to get off my lazy arse and go downstairs to the car park!!!

Andy tried but his is F$#king useless :(

MATE! Whats your problem!!!....do you have a problem...me think's so.......I had a simple request your simple mind could not decipher! :(

I don't use PC(because I hate Microsoft OS's)....therefore I cannot use FAST.

And no I don't no my VIN# off the top of my head.....maybe I should....hey look if it really makes you happy I'll get it tattooed onto my arm.

:rofl:

P.S. sorry....i'll stop the highjack now!

Not really optioned. Axis and ARX panels are interchangeable in models up 2001-2004 (the flares match up). So all the previous owner would have to have done was buy an Axis front bar and get it and the flares pained the same colour as the body :(

Also, I believe that if you wanted Autech bits, you had to buy the Axis... Nismo can option up most models from the Nissan dealership (seems they didn't like touching the ARX though :( ), but Autech only did the complete car from what I can gather.

I don't think they wanted to mess with perfection of the ARX

well mine has nismo floor mats - i know they would probably be able to be bought at every corner shop in japan. and nismo suspension. it looks as old as the car so id suggest very early fittment or factory fitted.

here are some pics.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
