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.

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

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?

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.

      Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
