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

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)

      Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.

      Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
