Hi All, i am very interested in these M35.

Regarding the 4X4 system does any one no much about the distribution of power?

Is it like the older GTR systems full rear then spread to front when rear slips?

Are there aftermarket bias controllers available?

Regarding parts and so on what kind of costs are there? EG Auto failure Big Stuff and little stuff brake pads what fits.

The Big Question: Insurance? are there any 26 year olds on sau that have one of these fully insured? What does it roughly cost ?

Any futher info would be greatly appreciated

Pikie

The 4x4 system is rear biased but upon slips allocates upto 45% (from memory) to the front. On the ARX it has a limited slip rear diff as standard. The ARX also has 2 syncro modes for starting on gravel or snow. This allocates some power to the front up to certain speed then it goes back to rear bias and power to front on slippage.

Have a look at the link, http://www.nissan.co.jp/STAGEA/M35/0110/, there are demonstrations of various functions including the 4WD function and the modes.

I insured through Just Car as Shannon's would not insure me without a garage in NSW.

Hello,

I recently got my car insured by Famous Insurance ( Ex Vigil), previously they did not do M35 Stagea's, but after some discussions with their underwriters they now do them. I got a good quote for my Stagea AXIS. Under $1200 for a rating 1, over 30 on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

If you need more details PM me.

Ahhhh....looks like a good setup for the intercooler.

P.S. Like what they have done with the mesh over the inspection port on the cold air box....must get the mesh and do that myself.....saves buying a POD filter and produce's the same result.

P.S.S Also got a quote on doing the turbo up yesterday....not cheap...$1,200 for the highflow and new impeller.....good for 13PSI everyday though....must do!!!....must get more HP.....lol

Have you seen the airbox of a V35? They have a piece fitted to the front of the airbox that works to have it open like that and only get cold air!

sounds a lot cheaper than mine even with exchange rate and 12.5% gst factored in but I prob paid the mechanic's markup as well

I notice it feels stronger but there's more lag

can't tell you about hp as I haven't dyno'd it yet

You got pic's of it?

Anyway thought I might post this here as well....its a pic in English of the DVD/TV/SatNav unit.....now we just have to sorce the button's.

Have a look at the intake on the far right of the picture.

Let me know if you can source the buttons? Do you have any contacts in the US?

What we really need is the English version of the software so we can read the screens!

Thanks for all the information, I am very interested in getting one of these M35's.

Quick question tho: I am trying to work out how what model gets the 3 gauges in the center console unit? from looking at the pictures I think they are turbo pressure, oil temp and maybe volts?? Obviously i would like to get a car with this as an option.

Or, does the TV screen display any engine management at all?

Cheers.

Also, has any one registed one of these in south australia? will I have any problems if I buy from interstate and register here?

I am pretty sure that it's the 2002 - 2003 Nissan Stagea 25T FOUR-V 4WD turbo your looking for. As for the TV screen....next to no info is on this....infact it's pretty useless until you convert it for TV/SatNav/DVD. The TV does display however your direction and fuel/travel info....plus some other shit of which I have no idea....need a translater...lol.

As for rego, I'm no expert but once it's complied you should be able to register it in any state(check with you dealer/compliance first).

having just got back from a trip up north I will say that this 250T RS four is an awesome touring wagon and will not disappoint

has tonnes of torque right where you need it and the awd comes into its own on those steep metalled surfaces where traction becomes an issue and in the wet, the tail-end of cyclone funa having crossed my path

I would like the ar-x if only for the fact that I like to venture over rougher ground where clearance is necessary

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
