Possible causes in that case? AFAIK the wheels and tyres are all normal sizes. It ain't a great problem, once my CarPC goes in I'll have the digital speedo (from a GPS).
-
I've finally got my car, a Nissan Stagea (M35), live up in Dulong (near Mapleton) however you'll only see me driving up the range or to Logan really.
-
Is there an easy way to adjust the M35 Stagea speedo? The falcon allows for a -/+10 adjustment, does the Stagea? Speedo is out by ~4 under 80, then slowly creeps up to 7 when @ 110. I'd like to lower the speed the speedo reports by 5 if possible.

Was offering in case you wouldn't have enough, but if you'll easily have enough I'll just chip in the dollars instead! There is a 99.5% chance I'll be there. ETA: I don't know Brisbane very well but if anyone from the Sunshine Coast is going to head down then I can meet up with you guys somewhere?

Do People Really Pay Big Bux For Number Plates?

afaik it's not standard in the m35. --------- The dual opening rear is the main reason I got the car. -
Help My Understand The Exhaust System :p
Midol replied to Midol's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
I want to keep a Cat I think, lower emissions and from my research a high flow cat/sports cat only slightly reduces power gains. Will try and find a local shop that's "decent". -

Help My Understand The Exhaust System :p
Midol replied to Midol's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
Thanks a ton, I think I am definitely leaning towards the Legalis but I just need to decide on the dump and front pipe? Any suggestions of which Dump would suit me? Looking at mid-upper range gear. With the ecu, I was planning on doing that in my "second stage" of mods. Keeping in mind I am an uber noob so this is subject to change: Stage 1: Full exhaust (including all pieces), new panel filter. Stage 2: High flow turbo, new ecu/some ecu mod, new wheels. After that I'll just go through one at a time. By "stage" I mean everything listed under that will be done in one hit. First I need to get my alarm and cruise control done though... -
I think the R33 looks awesome, I also like the appearance of my Stagea and most people don't. I didn't realise that it was possibly to be so arrogant over cars...

Help My Understand The Exhaust System :p
Midol replied to Midol's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
I'm in Brisbane (well, the sunshine coast but brisbane is my capital) but I do go to Sydney twice a year or so, normally fly but I guess I could drive it I really had to Okay, thanks you guys. Now I actually understand what makes up the full system (from front to back) I'll be able to research it a bit more thoroughly -
I had a Daewoo as my first car. Nfi what went wrong but I took it rallying, had to get it towed from the same spot 3 weeks in a row. 3rd week = write off. My Falcon gets pretty decent economy on LPG. Around 500km to a tank depending on where I go but since all my highway travel will be done in the stagea now I expect that to drop to 450 or so, costs $30-35 to fill up.
-
Let me stress I am VERY new to car modifying. Reading up on the exhaust which from what I can gather is a very important mod. So, from the turbo you have your dump pipe, right? This goes into a front pipe then to the exhaust or is the front pipe a part of the exhaust? So if I wanted to throw a full replacement system on my car I'd want the Legalis R, a dump (which I have not even started researching) and then what else? I want to hit that entire system in one go. Excuse my newbyness
-
Your arrogance is a perfect example of the problems in the car "world".
-
I won't be able to confirm till that week unfortunately, but I'll also bring along some meat if I can come?
-
Vigil = Unique = Lumley Special Vehicle, right? If so, only over 25's I'll put through a quote with them anyway, but so far it's looking like Just Cars is the only way.
-
Anyone know of a company that suits me other than justcars? Justcars won't give me a discount for only using the car ~3 days a week, usually one day a week. I don't drive it to and from work, secured garage but I'm only 21, shannons is out as they only do 25+ Really don't want to pay $1600 a year when I only drive it 1-3 days a week I commute to and from work in my falcon...
-
Yeah, that car looks great. I didn't want to go for blue because I didn't know how it'd scrub up but your car is great.
-
Thanks guys. Did you just "know" which ones matched up or did you match a part number from the panel in the car itself? Does a pod have any real performance increase over a panel? By real I mean worthwhile.
-
Yeah, standard airbox for now. Thanks. Never done much modifying so I have a lot of learning to do. Only ever really done normal servicing (and that was just on a falcon)
-
Which panel filter from K&N fits the M35? There are a shitload of them and I can't find one listed for the M35 or V35 anywhere (I read somewhere the V35 has the same airbox). Don't want to get the wrong one.
-
I'm hoping mine goes within 3 months as it's covered by the statutory warranty then I can high flow it and just pay the difference (hopefully).
-
I also experienced your joy The most annoying thing I found on the m35 is the top boot bit (the glass bit that lifts up) - I never lift it high enough when cliping the dogs lead to his collar and it smacks me on the head every single bloody time. Driving me insane.
