Hi all

Some of you I've meet and PM'd already. So I thought I should post up a thread and hi to everyone and a happy Stagea owner :D.

I got my Stag last October from Northshore Prestige from Ben. It's a 2004 PNM35 Autech Axis S. I couldn't believe how nice these cars look in person, sex on wheels.

So I'm ganna cut straight to the important bit.

Plans

R34 GTT Brakes & rotors

Swaybars and bracing

Transgo shift kit

V35 midpipe

Kinetix Plenum or Plenum Spacer

Suspension will either be Nismo s-tune springs with bilstein shocks or BC's

Superpro bushes

I'll be leaving the interior but ripping out the bose 6 cd stacker - because it's shit.

Cheers for the advice from the members.

I've already had someone damage my car, lucky it was minor. I had the car parked out the front of my place on and some jerk thought it great to snap off my rear wiper arm, lucky it's only $55 from Nissan.

Very nice ride you've got there. I was under the impression that the axis S(port?) came with some kind of sports suspension from autech? Can you confirm if this is the case? As for your vandal, that totally sucks, there are some people that I would never tire of kicking.............

I have had a look at it with another member and we decided it looks like stock suspension ie Nissan OEM, but can really only see the springs so I haven't had an indepth look at it, it has normal ride height. I might get some help from someone that can help me translate the optional catalogue.

Yesterday I picked up a CPV35 midpipe :D, hopefully whack it on during the weekend. The end of the flange I think it is has surface rust, should I just scrape it off? Also do I need flange gaskets or can I just use a exhaust gasket goo?

Wire brush it up - the exhaust as little crush gaskets in it, little round thing at the tail end of the car. Its metal gaskets at the end of the Y pipe. put a bit of sealant on if you want, but I wouldn't bother too much. Just so you know, you might have to modify the loop that holds the tailshaft up in case of breakage. The midpipe gets very close, and can result in banging over bumps. Best way - if its close take it off.

Regarding the springs - I do think they have a different coloured "dot" on them to my stock springs, but visually, I can't tell any difference. maybe they are a tad harder?

Welcome! Very nice ride mate and looks like you've got some decent plans for it.

In relation to your vandal,

Thanks, hopefully when payday comes around I'll be able to buy more stuff for it :D.

That is a sweet lookin ride... the interior is really really nice

Cheers, pictures don't do them justice, they have to be seen in person.

Throw some 245/45/18's on those rims.

You'll thank me when they go on.

I will take your advice and when I do the brakes is when the rims and rubber will be wrapped on. I'm ganna guess ching chong spec isn't ganna cut it right?

+1

:stupid:

LOL people are more excited about rubber than anything else :P.

Cheers for the comments all.

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
