What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

Stupid question. Isn't it drivable just by disconnecting it ? Just to make it home and not have to call a truck

sometimes it may enter limp mode, but for my experience, my car kept stall.

yeah I noticed the fault counter at home and yeah I know that goes into fault mode when taken out of the connector.

towing is free. the insurance company will pay

I was able to drive mine with a blown AFM on all three occasions it happened to me, one trip I was about 100km from home and it got there. I don't know why some cars would be able to be driven whilst some others aren't. Just another M35 mystery.

Finally found the last pieces to my M35 Stagea 'E' trim code swap. Next will be the head lining in tan.

Not hassling you for it, and I know colours are a subjective thing, but why do you want to swap to beige? My one regret with my Stag is the interior colour, especially since I have kids. It's depressing watching the seats change from sparkling clean to dirty over time, at least the dark interiors hide it.

The lower section of my car is dark (charcoal & black except seats), the top 1/2 is beige/tqn (whatever you want to call it) as it was originally light grey (so this colour is actually darker than what i had). And as i got the burnt orange 350z seats for a steal ($250 - good luck finding a set at this price) i actually dont mind the colour so trying to match to them. edf0e43b45f642ec6ab5053d8cd8f2a6.jpg

As you can see the lower is darker and for a car that wits in the garage 90% of the time doesnt get kiddy grime.

As with all cars they are for individuals and your post is appreciated. Beige interior os so much better than the light grey thats for sure. Oh and i am 1 of 2 m35s (that i am aware of ) who have the rear roof panel not molested by 3 child restraints.

Ah, forgot you had the Z seats, makes more sense now. The 2-tone effect will actually look pretty cool I reckon, almost custom.

...

Oh lawd, I just had flashbacks to all-white vinyl interiors from the late '90s/early '00s. I wish I hadn't just eaten dinner...

Yeah... sucks they wernt black but the orange is just as nice. Kept all the lower 1/2 black and soon to be completed with black carpet. I was just testing the black headlining but going with a tan colour (cant find a m35 headliner in tan as they all have sunroofs) and i dont have the sunroofs..... yet ;)

It's not just the steering wheel, your whole car is pointing the wrong way!

Steering wheel is from a Y50 Fuga, something a bit different, nice one!

Also have a look at the Infinity M35, you might be able to get the cruise switches from the USA.

I'd love a black head lining. That would look great.

You doing it yourself Josh ?

Pretty difficult upholstery job there.

I'd keep it to only 2 colours .

    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?
