2008 M35 Stagea is 3.5L VQ35de or 2.5L vq25dd only.

Both engine combos come in AWD or RWD and only the Axis S came with the 6-speed manual option (3.5L).

The only Stagea that ever came from factory with twin turbos is the 260RS (C34)

Who is this dealer?

The only dealer that is currently able to import and comply 2005+ Stageas is Northshore Prestige (incidentally, they were also the first to offer the 2001-2003 M35's)

Perhaps you should give Ben a call, here are their contact details

It is hard to believe anything they tell you when they can not get even the brand correct.

Or the body style, or the fuel type, or the price.....

gotta love the attention to detail of some of these guys...

Saw two Stags in a yard at Arundel. One was badged at the back, "RS", the other as an RSfour. Both were unregistered. The RSFour had incredibly scrubbed, bald front tyres and both were advertised as running on "unleaded" petrol.

The RS was $14k the other $16k. for an S2 with sunroofs.

:happy:

unbelievable... although I am sure that IF the falcon looked like that and had the build quality of a Legnum, they would have sold a lot more "BA" wagons!

    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
