Ok, guys from Moscow approached me today. They have a "demo" version ready, now they need a brave person in Perth who's got a car DVD based Xanai unit (M35 Stagea or Skyline up to 2005). This gotta

DrMoShen - I have an AXIS that has had the factory stereo removed.

The entire plastic dash surround has been replaced with a new one that takes a double DIN unit. It doesn't quite colour match, but you wouldn't notice at first.

I've got an Eclipse CD5030 head unit installed that works really well.

The radio is hooked up to the factory antenna and the reception is good. You just need an adapter to combine the two antennas.

What swayed you towards the Eclipse over other units?

It was recommended by the installer (http://www.fhrxstudios.com.au/)

It talks well to 3G iPhones, and has a very adjustable EQ.

Did you just put in the head unit or did you do speakers, amp, sub etc as well?

so have you found one you want to buy yet?

I know what I want. I've just got to wait until one comes up.

I'm probably going to be stuck with the car (for better or worse) for 10 years so I've got to make sure I'm happy with it.

OK so we all now have a stock item we can buy off the shelf here in Australia rather than going the whole Japan or US route.

A couple of months ago Danny(for those that know him) approached HDI to get them to develop an intercooler kit to suit the M35 in Australia. Those kits are now available from HDI as a bolt on production run item. Please note that like all business's if they don't get the sales they will drop it from there line up.

The kit uses the latest technology in IC's being the GT2 core. It's made a huge difference from the bottom end through the midrange to the top end in my car. It also has an awesome displacement of heat even in 40 degree weather.

Kit pricing as follows but will need to be confirmed with Jason at HDI:

*Full kit with IC, all piping, clamps and fan - $899

*IC only - $450

*There is a cheaper option but you will have to talk to HDI directly.

P.S. More photo's are available just PM me though.

I think for the extra cost ($200 extra) that I will go with a Blitz FMIC kit through Just Jap even if its just for piece of mind.

I would say the GT2 core with its extruded fins would sh*t all over the blitz folded fin core for flow and cooling. I suggest you research the pro's and cons of each before the purchace.

Oh, didn't realise there was much difference. I am new to turbo tuning so please excuse me :P

+1.

I did a bit of digging into this one as I am looking for a FMIC upgrade.

Can't comment on the temp drop that each cooler performs, but regarding pressure drop (efficiency of the core - less is better)

Blitz CS - roughly 1psi pressure loss at 20psi

HDi - 0.2psi pressure loss at 20psi (claimed)

Hey Folks (1st Post)

Just like to say a big thanks in advance for all the helpful information in here.

My partner and I are looking into buying an M35 Stagea (hopefully either and Axis or AR-X) and reading through this has cleared some questions up automatically.

I can't wait to get down to Sydney and have a look at some up close and in person and test drive one.

I'm sure you'll be hearing from me more often hahah..

Chris.

I'm looking at buying a 2002-2003 ARX turbo but was wondering what people are paying for insurance now. I'm finding it difficult to get a quote as it's a "dodgy import" (same old story I had back in 2001 with my u13 bluebird attesa). Oh, I'm in WA, 38 (old git) etc etc so should be able to get reasonable rates....

Love the car but I don't feel like paying $1100 a year for insurance especially when something like a turbo territory is $615!

Cheers

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
