Hi guys,

I've just got my 2003 Stagea ARX. I'm lovin' it but it has the common thud that comes form worn castor bushes?

I've read through the G35driver forum and have found that Nissan revised the Torion Rod and it has a new part number.

Can some confim if the M35 uses the same torsion rod as a V35 Skyline?

The part number's for the V35 are:

Right side: 54468-AC70F

Left side: 54469-AC70F

I've got a 2002 manual ST215. It's the older shape, I wanted a manual and you can't get it in the new shape.

It's a great car, fast and nimble wagon. Great on juice to, which I can't say about the ARX :/

:P

hahah j/k. but seriously that is our biggest downfall! just sucks to admit it, the fuel just evaporates :)

Are you finding your car to be a lot more economical with the Nismo ecu Craig?

yup......was about on par with the Haltech which was about 10-15% better than the standard ECU.......never got to do a tank on ECO before I took it off the road.

hahah but i got the stagea instead, im a nissan man.

that said, a caldina almost came up again but we got the fiat instead. even better on fuel and even more chuckable

hmmm sorry, caldina vs fiat would definately result in a caldina outcome :/

chuckable? like chuck it in the bin? :P

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
