Hi All,

Well I am glad to say I will soon be a nissan owner once again - cant wait! About to buy a Nissan Stagea M35 Axis Autech 2002 model - turbo.

I have come here to look into converting the trip computer system from Jap to English text. But I am looking for some quick tips/info/links to help me get up to speed as there is a HUGE amount a info on this site and even this Stagea forum section. Its crazy! But nice. So anything would be helpful as I do not want to be a inconvenience.

So I want to get the jap to eng conversion done. I see Andy's email as the go to guy for Sydney area? Can I do this myself since I studied electronic engineering in computer systems? I am always tweaking/hacking stuff. And I would like to make use of the navigation system if possible but I think people are installing replacements? Also I guess I need to work out if I have series 1 or 2 - how do I know that?

Also would be cool to have TV and external inputs for other devices like iPhone.

And anyone translated the characters on the buttons of the trip computer.

I dont have the car yet (hopefully in this coming week) which you may be able to tell from my questions. I will probably figure a lot of this stuff out once I got the new toy in my hands to start investigating but I want to make a head start on the text translations.

Any help greatly appreciated and great to be back here and to soon own a nissan again.

Paul.

Great choice. :D

Where are you located? There are a few people around who can do the language install...

Do a few searches and browse around, there isnt that much info around for the M35 yet, shouldn't take that long to read. :)

Welcome Paul.

You have a Series 1 car, as Series 2 cars are NOT turbo, built >2004. Different interior and a few other things. I'll let the guys that know all about electronics sort you out on the other things. Interestingly, I think the Series 2 cars have a direct Ipod connection, but i don't have an ipod, so haven't tried it. Just know that there is some connector in the arm rest that looks a bit ipod-ish!

If your in NSW, Andy can also help with TV.

I Think only Chris is doing Cruise control, up in QLD.

Mine is base model with the aero kit, no navi or cruise, and no LSD unfortunately.

Cruise only came out as an option, it is an auto sensing radar type and is pretty rare.

Seems series 1 m35's got one of the best VQ's, I just got back from tuning with some pretty impressive figures, more torque than the 2J supra there could pull off. (stock sequential turbos) Seems the rods are pretty strong in these, luckily. :)

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.

      I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.

      Did you pick up a manual cluster to remove the position indicator?  (Pretty sure the 34 has the gear position in the cluster, but it's been a while)

      Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......

      440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
