Heya all,

Was just having a few service items done at Northshore Prestige today and saw they had the M35 Stagea waiting for some last minute compliance work. I'm guessing it's the first in Australia... ???

Took some photos so you could all check it out. Looks like they'll be going through a few of these.

A bit like this one.

Luv the two way boot.

Dont know about the two tone dash though.

Yeah seen that one a couple of months ago, Ernie (Nizmo Motorsports) has it and can comply them.

I love the m35, it just needs a half decent body kit to finish it off!

I looked at these before buying my (the wifes) series 2, but decided not to due to 1) only in auto, and 2) engine change to the VQ25DET - and I preferred to stay with the tried and trusted RB25DET NEO. Instead I got the latest series 2 S I could find, which was only a few months before they stopped making them.. :happy:

i dunno guys the new shape looks more like a volvo than the old ones and the interior does nothing for me at all if anything i think the took a step backwards just dont seem to have the air and style of the rs4sorry guys just my 2 cents worth ....mike..........

1) How much does it weigh?

2) What is the biggest engine it has?

3) Does it come in manual?

4) It is 4wd?

5) How much is it?

6) Am I annoying you guys?

1) The heaviest AR-X Four version weighs 1710kg. Goes down from there to 1550kg for the RWD 2.5L 250RS.

2) It was 3.0L till 2004 when the 3.5L VQ35DE was introduced to the Stagea (finally).

3) No! No manual for you Stagea people! It's a shopping/family car! If you think the VQ35DE is a 'Skyline/Fairlady Z' engine, then think again! It's also in the ElGrand people mover van... talk about versatile.

4) Yes, 4WD is offered for all capacities (2.5, 3.0 and 3.5) in varying trim levels.

5) New they're between $30,000 and $40,000 in Japan.

6) Only if you get me to answer all these questions then *don't* get an M35 :yes:

An old colleague of mine in Japan had an M35, and while it was only the 2.5L 250RX, he had the 'AXIS' M35 kit and wheels on it (AXIS is one of Nissans optional parts divisions, as is 'Own') and it looked the goods. Pity it was AT.

I'm never going to get one. It's been a pain in the butt converting my S1 to manual, no way i'd try and do it on the V6. also they got rid of the frameless windwos, whats the go with that? that was the main reason i got one over an R34 4door. too bad nissan, you could have done much better...

Yeah ^^^ I've always thought the frameless doors are what set alot of Japanese sedans and the Stagea apart. The old Accord Aerodeck had frameless doors too I think? Makes all the difference.

To the best of my knowledge, no S2 stagea autechs were made?

I mean, ive seen some with RB26's and Autech kits, but i didnt think Autech actually made anything 98+ (aka, s1)

I think you've got a case of 'out of sight, out of mind'... S2's were made, but I've only ever seen them in pics.

The S1/2's were made between 08/1997 and 09/2001

    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
