Have had the old girl for 5 years now, and it's been the best car I have ever owned.... until.... If you started it cold, about 30 seconds into your drive it would start a rhythmic 'miss' between 1500 & 2000 rpm, if you could get her above 2000 it would stop missing. Once the car got to operating temp, you can turn the engine off, then back on and it will run like a dream!. although I have noticed the old smell of un- burnt fuel. Now we are closer to winter, in the mornings when you first start it up (to warm up the engine) it will surge up and down till it warms up. Now over the last 3 months I have spent around $1000 trying to sort this, the first computer diagnostic said front Cam sensor Done (no change) light came straight back on during cold missing, the next error that threw up was the rear Cam sensor... replaced... no change... next was the AFM .. no change..... too scared to see what comes up next... now a rattle has started to come from the engine when you put her underload, and sound like the timing is still off. Anyone been through this scenario? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Don't know how much info we have here on that motor as all the Stagea in Australia are mainly the VQ25DET or VQ35DE, maybe ask as well on a V35 skyline forum.

also other cars that came out with this motor are: A33 Cefiro, Cedric/Gloria.

maybe change the thread tile to include VQ25DD for better results.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
