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 :(

Useless you say......... Who does not know their own VIN and still can not look up FAST??? :(:D

I think you will find my image was very accurate but perhaps you description of what you wanted was errrmm.."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.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
