Hello everyone,

Bought my 2002 Stagea AXIS a week ago, very happy with it so far!!!

Thought i'd jump on here and meet others and hopefully learn more about the car itself.

first mod that comes to mind is fitting an Apexi turbo timer, seeing even a 2 minute drive up the road to the shops driving it sensibly (under 3000rpm) and letting it idle for 30sec's before i turned it off still made it unhappy on startup.

on the longer drives its alright i try and keep it of boost before i get there and let it idle for around 3mins and its alright, but i feel its going to piss me off waiting on every little trip........ and this way the motor will alway be protected.

i'll put up some pic's of her but she's just the normal stock silver axis.

cheers, LAMBCHOPS.

Did you check the muffler bearings? Also, last time i was in your car; there was definitely a loose nut behind the steering wheel...

Haven't updated for a while not that I've really done much to it lately but did take it out to SMSP South Circuit again and managed to knock off another second off my lap time with a 1:08.26.

Haha, more like 130awkw though, we don't measure at the engine... :whistling:

I think the AXIS looks like balls, thats exactly why I went the AERO. :)

Exactly what I think & did, although I wouldn't like to criticise another man's car (out loud). As long as your happy witth your choice, that's all that matters.

As far as the list of goodies goes, some of the other models can come optioned up pretty well. Mine is an RS and, besides the Aero body kit, has leather electric seats, dual sunroofs, TV, tilt down mirrors, alarm/central locking, & probably other stuff I've forgotten. And because it didn't come with the fully integrated dash, can easily accomodate aftermarket GPS/DVD/bluetooth/Ipod etc device.

I'm not too sure actually what's left besides a LSD & heated seats (yuck... :yucky: )

Heated seats are damn good in winter. But on several occasions I've bumped the switch without realising it and my balls gets toasted..

yeah i just went on a 4day weekend with the boys and they thought it'd be funny everytime i wasnt looking to hit the seat warmers FFS might have to disable them.......... they're really not neccessary.

well to clear it up alittle, its the noncolour coded bars etc and the subaru outback stance, it just looked better with the 18's and the flaired wheel arches.

mind you i do have to say altho the grill and front bar match with the wheels i must say the front is the ugliest side to look at.

but in saying that im not gonna waste 1000's on replacing the front with a R35 for the sheer dollar facter and besides it would take all the fun out of the car by being to recogniseable HAHA

      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

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      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?
