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!

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.

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
