Hi Guys & Gals,

Been a while since I've been on SAU and I thank everyone for keeping it alive, I've researched a lot of the information posted on this web site to help me acquire a PM35 Axis direct from Japan. Without the ease of access to the abundant amount of info my task would be daunting to even think of purchasing a vehicle over seas without an inspection/test drive etc,let alone which version or model would suit my needs/desires.

So here's my new addition, as stated PM35 Axis 3.5L RWD with 97,000km with options and aftermarket trinkets I want already on the car. Waited a while for this particular one to pop up for grabs.

After cruising her around for a few weeks I'm finding that all my boxes are being ticked off for what I'm looking for in a car and with an inspection done on a hoist she's mechanically sound with just a few cosmetic items to address.

Many thanx goes out to the lads at Import Monster ( Aaron & Rob ) as well as Northshore Prestige ( Ben ) for assisting in the acquisition & compliance of the Stagea. Everyone involved was extremely helpful.

Look forward to catching up with more Stagea owners to see what they have conjured up with their pride and joy, as well as go for a cruise.

Regards Jase.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
