2006-2007 Stagea Id

[stagland]

Hi All,

Loving all the info about the M35 Stageas you guys do a great job and collating info keeping messy threads to a minimum! I'm wanting to get my teeth into a late model stagea ideally with a VQ35HR motor to serve as a family wagon

Looking for some help from stagea owners if they could help me find some details on "how to" ID a late model 350RX Stagea on whether its got the VQ35DE or VQ35HR motor in it??

Wether it be visual body changes, engine bay differences etc.

Searched for images of a HR equipped Stagea and the only info I can find is wiki saying they put these motors in the cars for one year before they ceased production.

No help from anywhere else.

It seems like Wiki is wrong as I cant find any stageas witha VQ35HR for sale anywhere??

Oh and my current ride is a D22 Navara STR, 2" lift 32" Kumho KL1's, 10,000 Lumen LED Bar, Onboard Air with 60A 12V power to the rear Joys of having a truck with factory LSD, Factory diff breathers etc.

Dont ask about power or 0-100's ha ha!

Cheers

Colin

Easy, they never put the HR in a stagea.

It was always the base model VQ35de from mid 04 till production end.

I dunno about any changes in the 2.5 motor, cause we can't get them here anyways.

Cheers mate, guess you cant believe everything thats put on wiki!

I suspect someone might have mixed up the M35 Infiniti (sedan sold in the US) which did get a HR motor.

It's quite easy to tell a HR, different engine cover and twin intake/throttle bodies.

2.5 motor was the DD all the way through, no HR for them either. Shame they went to the Skyline Crossover, I'd love to have seen an M36 Stagea with a VQ37VHR.
