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.

Welcome, hope you enjoy your stay. What state you located?

There is plenty of info here about mods and options and power, susp, brakes etc etc

If you have a question, check out a search first, it might have been covered before- if not post away!

just updated my profile, im in western sydney...... ive already spotted another M35 in my area :)

was hallarious the 2nd day of having the car a guy comes up to me at the servo and asks if its a volvo...... (yes ive read all the storries on here) i just pissed myself laughing cos it only took 2 days.

the plugs are fine, car was serviced when i got it.

it starts fine other than when i think i havent let it cool enough before shutting it off.

havent got any pic's of it yet other than the ones i took off carsales..

no goodies on it that i know of...... which i reakon is a good thing.

the mod's im considering so far is:

BMC air filter, fit an oil temp guage and pressure guage, and a cat back exhaust.

cant even hear the exhaust note over the turbo whine LOL :(

nice i wish i bought an AXIS lol.

oh i have a dump back exhaust im trying to sell that bolts right up to the stock dump? whistling.gif

i wouldnt have bought anything other than an axis the others look like dog's balls LOL plus the extra's are awesome.

to bad your interstate, altho the axis is 206KW so that exhaust probly wont help me much aye

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.

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.

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

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
