Stagea Axis Nm35

sometimes i wish i didnt have a female type person controlling the funds in my household

maybe if i sell my project car i might be able to afford stuff..........

anyway want an 85 turbo exa?

[iamhe77]

geez thats fantastic!! must be that famous melbourne climate that does it for you

Maybe.

Although I did fill up on Tuesday & am on par (combining kms travelled & on-screen est. distance till empty) to reach the magical 700kms this time.

Don't know if it because of the dry air (Sydney's air is much more humid than Melbourne's) or just a really good batch of fuel (different servo), but I ain't complaining!

Yep with the hot summer months ahead, performance will definitely be sacrificed through heat sink when pushing hard......hence why I have plan B (Intercooler upgrade!!!), will be testing how the Greddy Intercooler kit performs over standard.

TT

Ooooh, glittery prizes.

Is that the Spec R HG or is it the Spec V?

Where from? How much?

Been looking at them for a while, but was also looking at ARC 'cooler (is that my wallet shrieking in fear?).

Its a spec-V, I purchased it from one of the Forum members for $1K, they are worth around $1500 or more with the way the dollar is now.

Guys has anyone purchased flares for the AXIS, my left rear quater was damged in transit, with a few scratches...I can pobably get it repaired but curious to find out what they're worth and if anyone has had the joy of trying to source these. They are defintely listed on the parts catalogue with Nissan.....but they still cant confirm any pricing for me

What is the part number?

If the dealership you went to is taking their time, ask another one.

Hold up with the flares and all Nissan genuine parts for the M35....Nissan bends you over with there prices....I am trying to source a cheeper way of getting parts for the M35's......I have already got parts with the trade discount....just waiting for someone to get back to me on wether they can do it better than that again.....watch this space!

Watching.

Hey Jetwreck, are the flares all the same ARX. AXIS????? I've been told the AXIS flares come painted as they only came out in BLK, White & Silver......I'm also waiting on pricing ex-Japan as no one can give me a straight answer locally.

Just got the car back 2nite after decoding ECU, once the tuner gets his head around all the algorithms....we'll be on the dyno mapping a New Brain

I will be very impressed if we can reach our target of 200rwkw, with mapping & turbo back exhaust....also keen to see the hike in torque over standard.

Keep you posted on the Bang for your Bucks

holy crap 200kw!!

Yes will be very keen to see results and $$$$$ v's KW gain......

Do you know what yours pumped out on the dyno stock.... did i read right rwkw, are you not going awkw, or am I spastic and missed a post etc...

Sorry Jules, typo ...will be awkw, yep will be looking to see what the max power will be without stuffing around with injectors, turbos etc...... I dont have any stock Power runs yet as once he has everything he needs we'll go through the car methodically & I'll have stock exhaust first, then my turbo dump with Fujistubo catback etc.... This will be painful & tedious I know....but the guy is flat out & time is major factor here for both parties, not mention he has an array of regular Porsche customer who are overdemanding weekend warriors

Guys one very important thing to note here is that, having had tuned and modified other cars in the past, I consider a dyno a fine tuning instrument & dont get too caught up in the figures as long as the tuner takes their time and maps the car correctly to the best of their ability WITHOUT popping its Cherry.

There are alot of dyno junkies out there who chase every last kW and believe me figures can vary dramatically from workshop to worshop.

I have heard of a stock ARX making approx 150kw at all 4 wheels, does anyone else out there care to share their experience....once I have figures will post before & after Dyno results. Unfortunately family commitments rule my SAT so it would be great to have some M35 power run figures posted if anyone is going to the Unique Autosports dyno day.

Cheers

I may be up there this afternoon so will see how we go.

I like the sound of what you are doing. After I do the exhaust I will be just looking to get the tuning just right.

[zei20l]

can you also let us know what dyno it was done on and what mode the dyno was in when the run was performed.

150awkw seems a little high. those figures may have been 'adjusted'

Dood what would be the general rule of thumb for drive train loss on a dyno???? 25-30%..., if a car is puching out 206KW at the flywheels standard taking a 25-30% loss would equate to 154- 144KW, so I dont see how the figures would be adjusted, I will ask the question regarding what mode the dyno was in, generally most power runs are done in shoot out mode...I could be wrong.

Once we have the car schedules on the rollers same day, same weather conditions & same dyno modes I will be able to document before & after figures with as little artifact as posible....but would love to hear if anyone attended the dyno day, or have any power run figures to document.

Here's a question to stir the Stagea souls.....has anyone compared a standard NEO RB25 to a VQ25DET on the same rollers....both cars produce 206KW but different Torque curves.....

[iamhe77]

Sure, when my turbo was reborn, the car went back on the dyno with the original exhaust.

It was a cool night and boost was limited to 10psi.

Result 140awkw.

Can't remember at what rpm and the machine refused to print the readout.

Only went by the Plasma display.

Looking forward to seeing the numbers with the new exhaust (& ECU).

So if you are getting 140awkw with the 10psi........the stock version may be similar or higher as the the stock turbo boosts upto 15psi at max.

[zei20l]

and also you get more drivetrain loss from an auto gearbox too. a manual i could understand.

plus we are talking 4 weeks not 2.

so what were the figures last night of some stageas??

Drive train loss for the WGNC34 AWD auto was estimated by SK at 70KW. This is a number, not a percentage - it will be AWKW + 70 = approx flywheel kw.

So your looking at 206kw-70kw = 136kw at all four wheels estimated for a WGNC34????

Just ordered RDA slotted rotors all round & yes as one of our fellow members posted earlier both front & rear rotors are the same as 350Z touring with pissy little pads on the rear.

Now I know some you are anti Bendix ultimates & others have had good expereinces ....and remebmer the stock brakes are not as bad as some of you make out!

But can anyone provide a comparison.... value for money from standard pads to any of the aftermarkets that have been mentioned.

How much are Hawks front & rear??? are they better or worse than Ultimates.....

I can't compare the Hawk's (HPS) to anything other than stock brakes but they are definatley better than stock and lots less dust. I managed to source mine over the net and bought when the exchange rates were better. Managed to get 2 x fronts and 1 x rear for $270 Aust, I noticed now that the fronts are $97 US before freight and then the exchange rate, ouch.

I have to get some new pads for the r32 GTR calipers that are about to go on. Any suggestions?
