Hi all! Name is Viet, just got an m35 stagea 2weeks ago but its got some minor problems.

My faint engine light keeps appearing even after ressetting the ecu, it comes up with code 0171 which i believe is left bank lean. I notice that my car drinks alot (18l/100km) so im suspecting the o2 sensor which from nissan is $160 with a 2 week wait.

Also notice that on my stock exhaust only the left tip is working, the right is clean.

Does anyone know if the skyline v35 o2 sensor can be used and also if the v35 nav unit will work in my stagea as it was missing from purchased?

Having a hard time of finding basic servicing information as in:

Oil used, how many litres to fill up?

Oil filter part number?

Spark plug number and gapping?

Transmission fluid and capacity?

Diff fluid and capacity?

Also would the arx shocks and springs fit my stagea? Ive got rsr springs atm and i go fishing alot so doesnt clear the dirt roads.

Thanks you advance!

If anyone lives in the western surburbs of melbounre and would like meet up please pm me, would love to learn more about these cars!

4wd fluid and capacity how to bleed?

OK, I'll bite. Can't give all the answers but some of them.

Also notice that on my stock exhaust only the left tip is working, the right is clean.

Don't worry, it opens up when you give it a boot full. the exhaust is variable and contains a pressure flap inside.

Does anyone know if the skyline v35 o2 sensor can be used and also if the v35 nav unit will work in my stagea as it was missing from purchased?

1) don't know 2)the Nav function will never work as its Jap only. Buy a UBD. it would be a lot of work to get the shit in there.

Oil used, how many litres to fill up?

4.8 or something like that - most of us are lazy and just dump a 5 litre bottle in.

Oil filter part number?

I can't be assed going downstairs and looking - just ask for something from a 03 350Z you'll get the right one. its fits a shitload of nissan cars.

Spark plug number and gapping?

Different people have had different experiences. Have a search on the site.

Transmission fluid and capacity?

Nissan Matic J, or Nulon 100% sythn seems to be the other proven performer. about 8.5 litres - remember you have to flush it not just drop the Pan, that'll only get about 4 litres.

Diff fluid and capacity?

Redline shockproof - about 1 L per diff I think. Use good quality cause you don't want to change it for a long time...

Also would the arx shocks and springs fit my stagea? Ive got rsr springs atm and i go fishing alot so doesnt clear the dirt roads.

Don't know. should have bought an ARX....:thumbsup: Might be the worlds only Raised Stagea!

4wd fluid and capacity how to bleed?

Nissan Matic D / ????

Hope that helps you to some extent.

I'll let the other guys handle the error message- I have my own thoughts but they are more experienced.

The ARX springs will get you a little more lift, I didnt swap my shocks over but I've got ARX springs in; with Nismo springs my front lip was 8cm off the ground.. Looked AWESOME but killed me in terms of functionality. Im now somewhere around 15cm off the ground at the front. So if you need some height and can source the springs, do it thumbsup.gif

I've got a set of factory ARX springs and shocks in storage if you must go higher. But I recommend lowering of the RS/RX for bitumen and finding a ute for fishing.

I know what you mean about the exhaust tips. I didn't realise until now that the Calsonic has a pressure flap - clever. I just thought mine was always blocked .pinch.gif

Agree with everything PN-Mad mentioned. I replaced my transfer case and Attesa fluids and there is lots of good info on how to do it with the search. Both fairly easy but I needed an extra hand with bleeding the Attesa pump.:thumbsup:

Hey Gazza,

Did you replace your ARX suspension with BC's ?

How is the ride now?

Hey Gazza,

Replaced the shocks with Bilsteins and the springs with original-height (ARX) King Springs heavy duty. However, I've recently seen a heap of lowered ARX and they do look better - even with the flared guards. I just find the tailgate doesn't open high enough so at the time decided against lowering.

The ride is firmer but still comfortable. It just suffers now from the factory sway bars but Dale will soon sort this out with the Whitelines.

      Genuine nismo N1 rear pods - anyone got any?

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      I’m sure this has been discussed many times. But anyone have any or know someone that is selling genuine N1 rear pods? I’m still shocked no one replicates these yet. Looking to buy some. Added a photo of the part. 👍🏻

      Alcon TA6 Calipers on R33 GTST - Flexing

      By Nismo32 · Posted

      Hello, The dog bone wont have much to do with this - the calliper applies a load about the disc - the outside of the calliper is more flexible than the inside by virtue of it not haveing the big torqued down bolts, additional metal structure on the caliper itself, and mostly not being cantilevered. So the outside of the calliper is pushing away as its more bendy and brining the inside with it as an equal pressure on both sides of the caliper looks to cause more flex on the outside - which makes sense. I have done this same thing with the calliper unbolted from the dog bone - same thing happens. Although id have to watch more carefully to see how much more the outside moves than the inside in this case. Im guessing there is a point in the pedals travel where the pressure is not actually increasing in the system - its just volumne displacemnt - and because the outside of the calliper is more flexy, it receives that volume. Have gone back to Alcon again - but beyond a resolution there I would stay clear of this calliper and possibly any of the lighweight type of callipers - especially if you have the smaller 15/16" master cylinder. Cheers.

      Yes, you can very clearly see from more than one angle that it is the whole caliper moving left-right, not deformation of the caliper. The top moves, the bottom moves. Equally. It should be possible to see where the movement is occurring. Just need to look more closely.

      Water pump replacement - Sydney region

      By billyons · Posted

      Hi Folks, my 2009 Skyline 370GT “Crossover” wagon is losing water and has been diagnosed as needing a water pump replacement (it’s an internal timing-chain driven unit, not the usual electric type that seems to be used across many manufacturers). Am looking for any repairer recommendations in the Sydney /Wollongong region who can be trusted and are experienced in this sort of work on the VQ 36 engine. Many thanks….Bill

      While all of the above makes sense, we're not talking about some Ling Long calipers of AliExpress; Alcon would have to be one of the top 5 caliper suppliers in the world and these are not their budget units. If there were manufacturing defects in the caliper causing this issue I'd be very disappointed. Having re-watched the video a few times I think it's dog bone/mount related. The caliper moves independently to the rest of the suspension and brake assembly which suggests to me that it's not mounted rigidly. I know this sounds stupid, but have you got enough thread on the retaining bolts or are they a poofteenth too long and it's not super tight? For axial movement to be occurring without deforming the caliper that can be the only answer.
