Vic - 2002 Nissan Stagea Nm35 Wagon


Recommended Posts

For sale is my 2002 Nissan Stagea 250t RS Four V NM35 wagon in champagne gold. It's a 2.5L V6 turbo (VQ25DET) AWD. Has 206KW from factory.

This car has been an absolute pleasure to own and drive and I am sad to let her go. I purchased the car in 2011 with 66,000Ks on the clock, it now has 106,800Ks. I am the second owner in Australia and apparently only one owner in Japan.

The following modifications were carried out by me during my ownership.

- Skyline V35 Brembo calipers (same as 350Z) front and rear. Calipers have been reconditioned, resprayed and heat treated in original Brembo gold. Looks brand new.

- Slotted and cross drilled brake discs (larger than standard) F&R.

- EBC Red stuff brake pads F&R. All brake upgrades are less than 10,000Ks.

- 350Z touring rims (Forged Rays) with Bridgestone Potenza RE002 235/40/18 all round.

- Bilstein suspension upgrade. Best handling upgrade for the M35 Stagea and lowers the car about 1.5 inches. Perfect stance in my opinion.

- 3” dump pipe & front pipe, high flow cat and Kakimoto R catback. Nice deep sound.

- Trust replacement panel air filter.

- Koyo aftermarket radiator. Thicker core than factory, more suitable to Australian heat.

- Alpine head unit and front splits (Type R), Jaycar 4 channel amp, Pioneer 6” in rear doors and Bose spare wheel well sub.

Body is in great condition. Had rear left door, rear left quarter panel and rear boot resprayed due reversing incident into parking pillar by previous owner. No major damage but scratches were noticeable. Other than that, no other accidents. Very clean, has some imperfections for a car that is 13 years old but nothing bad. Massive boot space.

Changed the spark plugs a little while ago with the recommended Denso Iridiums which costs $30 each and good for 150,000Ks. Chances are you will never need to replace them.

Car serviced every 5,000-8,000Ks at Chasers Motorworks at Footscray. Have a chat to Glenn about the car, he knows this car well.

Drives extremely well with no issues at all. Has plenty of power to play with. Always planned to track it with the mods but unfortunately never had a chance. Been a pleasure to own and will be sad to see it go after the time and effort spent on the car. Selling due to relocating overseas for work. Otherwise I would keep it.

Not on REVS and has no finance owing on it.

Price is $13,500 negotiable and is located at Point Cook, Melbourne.

Please call 0430 969 988 to discuss.

Cheers

    • I finally got it on the dyno today and luckily it stayed in one piece! It wasn't without its dramas though. First off, sent my power steering belt to the moon around the third pull. Scared me half to death. Tuner laughed and mentioned that often happens with RB's... I may need to look into adding the Ross power steering idler, or something a long those lines.  Second issue that came up was about 2 hours in, we realized the VCT wasn't working and had to go back through the timing and knock threshold once it was fixed (I had botched setting up VCT). That waisted a good hour or so. I was surprised to see that with VCT working, we saw a ~38rwkw difference across the powerband. More then I would of expected.  Without further ado, made 463rwkw@27psi. Not the numbers I originally set out after, but still more then enough to kill myself and I'm very happy. Mustang roller dyno's are known to be heart breakers compared to other dyno's. Two things that limited me, first was the hydraulic lifters/7600rpm cut. Tuner was adamant that I was losing out on a lot of power up top because of it. Second was the pump gas & WMI. He wasn't 100% comfortable tuning with WMI, and was honest about it. He stated he's more confident on E85/Race gas. I look at this as a positive as it leaves me a lot of room for improvement. All in all, very happy! I need to see what I can do about that rev limiter... I use to rev my stock RB20 to 8000rpm and now I have a fully built head that I only rev to 7600... It's bugging me.  Don't mind my fantastic picture/filming skills.  RB28 - Dyno (1).mp4

    • Wow mate that's huge, congrats. Glad you found better people to deal with and all seems like it's going in the right direction.
    • The best setting for street is what gives the best tyres wear for your driving style Different tyres like different camber You want the whole surface of the tread to wear flat, if the inside of the tyre is wearing more than the outside reduce camber settings For toe, have the minimum amount to give the handling you want Caster, from my experience if you can adjust it, is as much as you can get without clearance issues And while -2.5° of camber on the front might work well with good tyres for "spirited" cornering, it may be too much for a street car Lots of front camber will effect braking Just like to much rear camber will effect rear traction (rwd), and braking  When I set my Bogan Cruise Ship (VX SS) up for drags I tested how much tyre width I actually had in the rear by doing a hard launch (skid), it originally had -1.5° in the rear, and you could see that the tyre wasn't putting down alot of the tread, I maxed out the settings to get as little camber as I could with the OEM adjustment and some camber bushings and got it down to just under -0.5° with 0 toe, that gave me a fair bit more "rubber on the road" and helped it hook up for my 60' and my 0-100kph And with -1.5° in the front the big old boat handles fine on the street and my tyre wear is nice and even on both front and rear tyres (currently Hankook RS4's) As for semi slicks at the track, again, it depends on alot more IRT the suspension, the track and lots of other things, so, I'll leave that up to people who have more experience, especially with a AWD In saying this, street settings are pretty easy, just look at the tyre wear Meh, Necro thread, it's late at night, and I has been drinking beer
