What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

Hmm...is that the same story for the PNM35? The lack of exhaust noise is something that annoys my wife about the Stagea. I got quotes for custom exhausts that are incompatible with marital congress but if I can just swap the mid-pipe cheaply for a bit more noise then it could be an option.

I remember V36 components also being compatible but can't remember which.

[edit] Actually I just googled it up and found the Youtube clip, nm. [/edit]

Yup, it was an PNM35 owner that did it first ;)

Exactly as Nick has said. Fits, but best to remove driveshaft loop, cause it bangs.

350z is comparable too. Just need to lengthen it by 7-8 inches from memory. Best to measure yourself. Makes a bit of an improvement in the exhaust, but nothing like a proper cat back.

Why not just gat a fully sick muffler welded on to the standard exhaust.

The first stagea I test drove was a m35 with exhaust mod...

Ohh the drone...

I promptly handed the keys back to owner...

The mid pipe mod won't drone.

Neither does the fujitsubu nor the nismo. If you've seen them, you'll know why.

Removing the driveshaft loop doesn't seem like a great idea... But hey, if it saves you $20...

When's the last time you saw one of these snap a driveshaft....?

Agree, not the best solution, but risk is a 0.0000000000001 thing.

Surely just because these great vehicles are so low in price to purchase... Personally it doesn't seem right to modify them on the cheap...

I wouldn't call it modifying in the cheap. I'd call it modifying smartly. If you want a bit of extra flow and noise, the v35 mid pipe is an awesome option. Especially seeing as it's an often thrown away part once coupe owners install after markets. It's Oem quality. It's a larger bore than the stock m35 item, and has a less restrictive muffler. It's also about 1/3 of the weight.

Not everyone wants to, or can spend $1300 getting a fujitsubu delivered from japan...

I'd spend a lot more money (and have in the past) if it was going to be a track car, but all I'm after is something to give the car a bit more of a decent sound and stop my wife from wincing every time she starts it up. It just sounds anaemic compared to our Commodore.

Maybe not so keen if it means removing the driveshaft loop though. Will think it over, cheers.

$1200 at last check, but that is the top shelf Fujitsubo, there are much cheaper options around...

Yup, but not free! Lol

Matt, look into second hand systems. Anything from the V35 sedans or the earlier model m35s will fit. Seeing as you have a lot more imports over there, I suspect you should be able to find something in the wreckers pretty easy.

Can't have the m35 sounding shit next to a crummydore!

I happily wave goodbye to my missus as she drives of in her honda Jazz...

Certainly stops any unwanted noise or drone and takes care of all performance restrictions.

Its a Blokes world...

      Elevated lead levels in oil - Engine on borrowed time?

      By r32-25t · Posted

      A lot of bmw need big end bearings as often as other cars need timing belts, the v10 and v8 from the m5 and m3 around the e90 era were bad for it

      Welshys 32ZILA and the 8HP.

      By welshy_32ZILA · Posted

      Near 12mths since the last update apologies.  Car is back running and driving.  Have had a few runs at the drag strip also with a bit of success.  Managed to run tje cars PB with a 10.88 @139mph with a 2.0 60ft.  I have a stock 8hp converter and it's definitely too tight for my setup. But it drives on the street phenomenal. So happy to have converted from the sequential. Has made the car enjoyable to drive vs a what felt like a chore with the sequential.  Looking a at few different options for converters waiting for some feedback from SDE if he can do one for me.  Still a few minor things to work out regarding finalising torque reduction, I have it working but needs to refining.

      I honestly wouldn’t bother with this. They don’t hold up under any serious strain. Get the Blackline (Chinese fake Quaife) if anything, as it’s reported to perform pretty well.

      Asking where to source parts

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      For future reference, I believe all that Amayama does is act as a middleman between you and Nissan. Go to your local dealership, ask nicely for a parts account (I get 15% off with mine) and you'll get better pricing. Cheers,

      V35 Skyline possible engine swaps?

      By Blakeo · Posted

      Hi guys, I have a 2005 V35 skyline with the vq35de.  It is a drift car and has been stripped, its now running a standalone ECU and a body harness. Dash everything has been changed to a digital dash controlled by ecu.  The vq35de has been great, very reliable but wanting more HP atm the 35de is making 228rwhp. I'd like to be making about 350rwhp. From my research it looks like a vq25det lightly modified could be a good engine to swap in. I understand the CD trans will bolt up right to the vq25det with a 35de sump used.  My only issue is a wiring harness/ecu to control the vq25det, from what i've found the ecu is a lot different to the vq35de so my plugin for the 35de will not work. Is there any potential to use the vq35de wiring harness and modify as necessary to retain the plugin ecu?  Keen to hear what you guys think, or am I best off to chuck on a cheap turbo kit on the 35de and see how long it lasts.
