Hey guys , just want to say hi !!

Just got myself a 2002 Axis 2.5 2wd and loving it .

Been the owner of a 2001 STI Wagon for a few years , needed something bigger for my 2 dogs and what better than a Stagea .. man they are huge !!

Havent looked back , smoother more comfy, quiet and seems to be of good build Quality.

Really wanted the Axis and what a mission to find one for sale ..

Cheers James

Welcome James, is that the VQ25dd? I don't believe that the turbo came out in 2WD.

How responsive is it?

I would assume that the fuel economy is fantastic.

(sorry, always been curious about that engine for some reason :) )

Hi Jamie ,

Thanks for the welcome ;)

I have the non turbo 2wd model , no i dont think the Turbo was out in 2wd either. After driving the Sti for a few years i just wanted something that was roomy , comfortable and not a turbo , done the Turbo thing now for years , i guess im getting older !!

I really wanted the 3.0 Axis but was even harder to find so after a test drive settled on the 2.5

Its quite responsive , gets to 120 with ease and is good off the lights , not a rocket mind like the Sti but is more than enough.

The gas i was worried about being a big car and only 2.5 but after a fill of 95 Ron i got 650Kms to the tank , i think thats pretty good for all round driving :ermm:

Cheers james

ahh NZ people, lucky you can get virtually any car you want :)

congrats on the nice car. silver ay?? good choice :)

Thanks mate :) yep its silver .. was a bugger to find though , i thought i might have had more luck finding a Gold nugget in the middle of a downtown sidewalk !!

Yep NZ is ripe with jap imports but the new shape stagea is still quite rare

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
