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

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
