Buggered if I know, interior and exterior are pure RS.... maybe it has Autech suspension?

Ride height looks fairly standard (Based on that photo from the rear) - assuming 'Autech' suspension is what they throw in the AXIS it should be looking a lot more 'slammed' imho. Too odd!

Yeah, ride height does look stock, but I don't know how much lower the Autech suspension is (wouldn't be much)... if it is at all lower than RS/RX suspension.

about a couple of inches i think.

I've seen my car side to side with an Autech, and it looked quite a bit lower.

Considering that the Nismo S-tune is 20mm lower than RS/RX stock, I would seriously doubt that the Autech suspension is as much as 10mm lower than standard.

Garett has an M35 with Autech kit which has S-tune suspension on it, and it looked much lower than the Sage222's

Interesting. Someone want to FAST my VIN and see what it is?

happy that in stimulated some conversation too!

does that FAST app tell me anything else interesting? I see its a build 9/03 which is nice.. the seller told me it was an 03.. tho i couldnt find any details on the car..

Does it tell me if it has HICAS?

just on another note for those following this thread.. i will indeed junk the AVIC-XH9

I am looking at putting a flytouch2 into it to replace it..

10.2" screen. GPS, HDMI, Wifi 3g, divx, mp3 games etc.. It runs Android so the world is your oyster! :down:

Can get cigarette lighter power for it to hard wire it in.. then i should be able to go headphone jack to RCA amplifier to feed back into the stereo.

Anyone got any experience with this?

im downloading Nissan FAST now.. though can someone tell me if mine has HICAS?

i just had a look at mine again today at the dealer (still a couple of weeks away).. They had it next to a 01 non autech.

The 01 had a smaller diameter exhaust at least from the centre muffler.. also the centre muffler on the 01 was only a small unit where mine has the big molded unit..

What is factory diameter exhaust of the stagea? cause on my autech it looked at least 2.5" and the 01 next to it looked like 2 1/4".

Wondering if mine has aftermarket or the 01 does or both.

To the best of my knowledge, HICAS only came on AR-X models. An AXIS will have HICAS if it started off life as an AR-X also. Given that the model on the back of your car is 250t RS, I'd say 'No' to HICAS. But we've been wrong about your car before :thumbsup:

can anyone tell if the m35 shares the same springs as anything else? skyline etc? looking at a cheap option to lower it. :ermm:

350z springs SHOULD fit. Stock springs on the M35 are the same as V35 and 350z - or at least thats what I was told by Sinergy motorsports when I was trying to source springs

I think you will find v35 are similar but much softer, not what you want when lowering. I have king springs here if you want to lower on the cheap... Are your shocks ok?

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
