If anybody knows wherr i can get a rear end write off of a stagea let me know. Dont need the motor or tranny but will need the body and some interior parts. Will pay $$$$$$$$

With or without wheel arch flares i dont care. Dont care what colour either

Have a few problems/issues that need to be addressed:

-i know i have to change my radiator support but i dont know if the bonnet latch will line up, could i use my V series one or will i have to use the stagea one.

-the blinkers on the V are bumper mounted but fender mounted on the M series, do you just line up the four square things on the cover and twist on on and clip it in the guard, could someone take a photo for me.

-i have factory HID lights, how do i change them over to the M series ones. Do just take the bulbs out like i am changing them and put thr stagea ones in or......

I can get all the parts from nisswreck but trying to avoid it because theyre expensive, more expensive than new from nissan sometimes.

Wants to put a series one nose on. What changed in the series 1-2 facelift, did quater pabels change or just lights, bumper, grill and hood

not sure about rad support

re: blinkers, they are built into the M headlights and there's another 1 on each of the fenders, i actually forgot whether V has blinkers on the fenders. i think it's just a matter of moving the V bumper blinkers to the M headlight ones, might need to extend the wiring i'd imagine.

re: HID, 98% sure they are the same as M35s, i remember checking my mate's v35 cos he was asking what bulbs he had to buy

ask iamhe77, he used to have s1 m35 with s2 front end

ive already done all the research and planning on this...

yes, quarter panel indicator looms needs to be extended approx 1 metre. same bulb fitting.

headlight plug should be interchangeable. assuming both are HID of course

you have to swap the bonnet, guards, bumper, rad support, grille, radiator, headlights, splash guards... when all parts are changed the bonnet catch and hinges will line up.

oh and you'll be struggling to get all the bits for under $3000

im placing bets on this never happening ;)

Engine and tranny would be so expensive i might as well buy a stagea.

The v series already have blinkers in the headlights so the link would just switch over to the blinker inside the M series light.

Im talking about the ones in the corner on the V series bumper near the wheel arch, do the m series ones that are on the gaurd have the same thing were you line up the four things and twiat the cover on.

I rekon i can get the lot for just under 3k.

It will take time. I could sell off my old V series parts atleast then ill get a little bit back. Only the bonnet and headlights are still in good nick (tyres have finch and pulled my gaurds and bumpers is beyond repairable)

Are the turbo and NA radiators the same or will i have to find a NA stagea front cut (which i have found)

as i said before

its a standard T10 twist-in base

you obviously have ALOT more research to do. to transplant the turbo motor and trans requires stripping the sedan to a COMPLETELY BARE shell. the entire electrical loom and dash needs to be swapped aswell - which means seats, carpet, dash, a/c, heater... all need to come out

i discovered this a little while ago whilst having a conversation with guy who did my transmission service and a friend of mine who works for nissan.......if only you could comply a 250GT four, would be easy as.

@Deep Dish V35, what model stag nose are you thinking of putting on?

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
