  1. What value pressure is considered low or dangerous. Mine never fluctuated from 3.9kg per square cm but now ranges from 1.9 to 3.8 depending on the revs once the engine is warm. I now use full synthetic but surely that can be the reason?
  2. My 15 years driving a non turbo gts always had a pressure around 3.9kg/cm², now however it's moving between 3-8 and 1.9 ,once warmed up. the range depends on the revs . Pretty much like Penfolds description. Whats happened to create this variation. I never saw it at 1.9 At what point is low oil pressure a problem. what specification or figure is a concern btw .have had a blown head gasket and bent number 6 corned replaced but this shouldn't be related
  3. Which spark plus do I need? I am confused. I run LPG/petrol on NM35 stage 2002. Motor VQDET. 2500cc I understand the LPG run a bit cooler I have been quoted the following plugs LFR6AP-9(Platinum) $13 and LFR6AIX-11 (iridium) $23.(two of these plugs recently installed, but are these the right type of plug?) Not sure what the Japanese writing means. I will get 4 more plugs and will get 4 ignition coils. i recently had replaced 2 bad coils and 2 spark plugs on cylinders 3 and 6. Please advise how to proceed . I initially had very poor to no acceleration . replaced 2 plugs and coils and now acceleration has improved immensely but can't reach more than 3000 rpm acceleration isn't reliable thanks
  4. Thanks. Did an unsuccessful search so need more info as to keywords or link please
  5. StageaNM35 triptronic gear stuck 2002 model Stagea When moving from automatic to the triptronic gears , the gear remains in 4th . It will not move up from fourth gear nor move down to other gears. This seems to happen on a highway trip of about an hour or more. If I turn off the engine and re start the engine the problem seems to disappear. Any possible idea as to what is happening?
  6. Well actually I haven't met any brainless mechanics but have met many sloppy overcharging and some dishonest mechanics who didn't bother to complete the job properly. These are the people I would prefer to avoid
  7. thanks so much Josh. I think the exchange of a petrol tank might be fairly easy for a mechanic but its the traps for those not familar with this car is my concern and how they put existing parts back together. Hopefully I may get a reply or two. Two Turbo swaps !!!!!!!!!!!!!! that doesn't sound good. how many km did each do. I am just on 150K with original turbo What was price labour ,if you don't mind me asking?
  8. Stagea NM35 brisbane recomeneded Mechanic I would prefer to have my Fuel tank replaced by a mechanic who is very familiar with the vehicle. Stagea NM35 autech axis ,2002model My location is Toowong
  9. Fuel tank replacement NM35 stagea Could you tell me how long to remove fuel tank for a mechanic in Stagae NM35 2002 model. Mine is rusted and leaks. There are several small holes and pin holes on floor of tank I have a temporary bung of adhesive in several places (quick steel). Tank was drained to do this. Also Are all M35 tanks the same . Am trying to source a second hand tank but no luck so far. what other option besides getting a another tank where would i get a custom made tank? I have been quoted about 5 hours for labour. is that about right. I am in Brisbane
  10. advice heeded guys . thanks have ordered a further 2 tyres 24518 r 45 but I have to drive 3 kilometres to Tyre shop on front and back mismatch sizes. What sort of distance is unacceptable? Also 45/225 and 45/245, the difference is 1.6 percent which is apparently acceptable according to a prior post. is that true
  11. Mr Brick above made the comment about 2 percent variation was ok. But is that contrary to scottys opinion? starting to get confused with possible conflicting information. thanks everyone
  12. Hi scotty your exhaust modification on my car is great . I don't understand comments at all about about attessa clutch packs about drive shaft unis. Also how does damage occur ,what type of damage?is this damage catasro@pic or justminor additional wear Would I know or somehow experience this damage? Would like to sort this out before Friday,replacement day thanks
  13. Its not a problem to have the larger tyres at the back but I thought having the superior handling and better grip tyres at the front might be safer?so have 245 45R 18 on the front not 225 45R 18 also is there a legal component to this as I don't want to void my insurance Also 2 % of 225 is 4.5. what figure are you refering to???????????? tyres already paid for and fitted on Friday. first time via internet so cant easily cancel
  14. NM35 stagea axis autech Are there any recriminations from running 245 45 18 tyres on the front in particular the aspect of attessa awd handling ,safety ,legality or speedo readings or anything serious and running 225 45 18 on rear.? back tyres are average quality and 12,000k old....... front tyres will be new and excellent Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 I am a little concerned I may cause mechanical damage from a post elsewhere on the stagea awd
  15. Had no choice but to send to Midas, locally as Nissan Indooroopilly and Nissan Moorooka refused to accept my towed vehicle being a personal import !!!!! I will remember that . Definitely not happy with price gouging at midas but car not driveable thanks for the info so far
  16. Top tank not repairable as was told made of plastic. I assume true...is it true... according to midas muffler.
  17. I have an upper cracked radiator for an NM 35 axis au tech 2002 model. Just below fuel cap neck on the right hand side. Perhaps 7cm from neck Replacement will cost $1100 with labor. is that a reasonable price . What choices do I have with radiator. Repair iis not an option I was told I can't do this myself. With no coolant touching the sensor the temperature gauge was reading near normal. I thus thought the car was operating normally every time I glanced at the gauges. I was thinking of buying an oil temperature or oil pressure gauge so I can get better engine information . Is that over kill.is there a preferred choice amongst you guys. If I am going to get another gauge what other gauges might be an option. Is the such an animal out there as an oil temperature pressure gauge. Can't see any online. What's the best brand please? What are your thoughts What will my 2002 model allow me to do in terms of oil gauge dashboard placement. Hoping for a quick reply to sort out my options Also where do you suggest this gauge goes ? I don't want to rip out my satnav DVD player nor the TV screen . Would prefer to have near other gauges but assume because of cost I will have to pay for it to be installed near the driverwindscreen Pillar. If there's was no coolant how long could I drive for without doing some damage , assuming engine was cold. Assuming car was warm How do I know I already know I have not done damage .as far as I can tell Engine is okay Thanks in advance for any thoughts This leak continued for at least two days of driving unnoticed but I don't know where the level was during those two days or more Do sensors have to be reset or air removed from system. What happens if coolant is just added to a new radiator replacement. How can I tell if the job has been done properly apart from the fact that there would be no leaks
  18. NM35 Stagea 2002 model I have a key to remotely open and close the door which also activates my car alarm . I want another one . I have a spare key but need a FOB which can clone the digital signal. Not willing to pay several hundred dollars through a dealer. $294 for uncut key plus $160 for key and programming Could someone help me with options please? Also I have been on ebay but not sure what to look for. thanks in advance
  19. My NM35 2002 model windscreen received a windscreen chip an hour ago and the drive time home of 15 minutes has resulted in a crack extending out both sides of 20 cm each and I imagine it will get bigger. Not quite in field of view yet. 1 At what point does this event become claimable? 2 I s the radio aerial built in to the front windscreen? 3 Will the new replacement windscreen automatically have a built in aerial in or must this be requested 4 I Have insurance from Shannon’s but since its 330am can someone confirm that I should be covered for a free windscreen replacement and not affect my policy. 5 Will this have to be ordered from Japan i.e. aerial is included? Thanks in advance
  20. Thanks brick ....got'em
  21. I may have a short circuit somewhere and want to locate the Fusepanel and test it with a multimeter. Where are the panels and how do I gain access to them . Tried searching for some images to help me but no luck. Obviously I am not very mechanical ! thanks in-advance.
  22. Is the radio aerial embeedded in the front widscreen? Where exactly?
  23. Before proceeding could you answer the following? Who would bring before the tribunal? It cant be someone who the buyer had no relationship with. Are you saying the Competition and Consumer Act and the CTTT applies to Auctions!!! .
  24. Turns out the barrel did belong to the ignition key and a prolonged deep spray ,with a thin tube inserted ,of wd 40 eventually allowed the key to open the boot, though its not reliable, even after having sprayed. Reversed the boot switch and now will open only from inside the cabin . Thanks all
  25. Back seats taken out (see photo attachment), but its impossible to access due to opening size, rear battery on right and compartment location on left along with significant electrical wiring which would have to be disconnected.
