Hey guys, just joined to forum last night so i thought id introduce myself..

Daniel - 19yo - Based in Thornleigh, NSW

ive joined this forum simply because i love the Stagea M35

thought id join it before i bought one to chat with a few of you !

perhaps learn a little more about the car and get to know a few of you, hope to see some of you around the place aswell

Definatley wanting a stagea.. but cose im on P's the ARX-four may be out of the question with the bloody Turbo laws for P Platers

interestingly enough they havent banned the 250t RS... so that may be the path i have to head down in order to own this beast legally on p's

would love to know peoples thoughts on the topic and your thoughts on a 250t vs ARX-four

Cheers Daniel

theyre all banned to P platers under the turbo laws.

I bought my ARX on my P's and got away with it..

you may be able to apply for discretion which may allow you to drive it..

but i didnt get pulled over once..

first time getting checked 2 days ago and thats only coz he wanted to see if my exhaust had a cat,

either you love an ARX or hate it..

majority will say get a 250t, but i own an ARX and would never get a 250t lol

nah if you have a look on the 109 page list the RTA have only banned the ARX

its sooo dumb !... as im sure your well aware of haha ;)

i know what you mean about liking or not liking the ARX... i personally do like it

the only thing that concerns me are the black bumpers in regards to maintenance.

ive seen alot of other cars where that has faded and it looks shit house... how do you go about caring for that :)

what kind of products are out there to keep it looking new ?

Cheers, Daniel

i see..

black bumpers have never faded for me, its just a plastic rub guard..

just wash em and they come up fine.. but if u polish the car, steer away from em as it will leave PITA marks on them..

voice your questions(within reason)

everyones happy to help

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
