No offense to all who love Pulsars.. I used to drive one, nice car, but it's no Stagea.

not naming name, but if he reads he know's who he is ....

a guy near me sold his S1 stagea ....then found a n15 VZR pulsar (3door ones)

but then again it aint no ordinary pulsar

Hi Guys,

I just got news that a fellow M35 owner had his car on the same dyno I will be using for the ecu mapping...he too was after a tune due to excessive fuel consumption...reeled off 135 AWKW, I'll find out more details later today. The car was with standard exhaust but surprisingly was running 1.1bar of boost!!! Surely this isnt standard boost on Stagea :) ....any comments on what others have experienced or checked what boost levels they're running.

BTW I mixed it up with the Bavarian contingency over a Xmas drive/lunch to Mudgee via a pitstop to Mt Panorama......The boys in their Kraut machines now have total respect for the Samurai Shaggin Wagon as it gave a few of them the Royal Flyby :( .....Like all of you watching this thread; I'M NOW GETTING A LITTLE TOEY ABOUT GETTING THIS THING TUNED & SORTED....None the less the AXIS was the topic of conversation throughout lunch...

May have to wait till the New Year to unleash the true potential of the VQ25DET!!!

Cheer

Was the M35 before you an AR-x?

Strange, but the stock boost for an RS Four is 10.8psi (mine was at this number before the exhaust - 0.8bar).

The guys that have AR-x's have said that they show ~15psi stock!

I'll speak with the guys and find out what it was ....looks like we'll just have to organise a dyno day stricktly for VQ25DET's to get some stats on power & boost levels from stock to modified and see the differences from all the variants. AXIS, AR-X, RS Four etc....

I would be interested in the dyno day

Mine was measured at 150kw atw - standard car but hi flow cat, hi flow airfilter, + hi flow exhaust.

measured at 15 psi boost across the range, running very rich

Hey Michael!

Good to bump into you now and again on the road, i'll flash you next time as well :(

More of you Sydney boys (and girls?) should come along to our regular Thursday night meet-ups.

Tony "NRVOUS" (as well as Craig "Jetwreck" and Andy "andy65b" amongst the M35 crew) can vouch that it's a good run along the Old Pac, and if you choose to follow us all the way up to Erina on the Central Coast, there's a good group of people to hang around with and minimal problems with the Authorities if you all behave yourselves!

Tony, did any of the Bavarian-driving crew get any tyres to actuallly squeal this time around? >_<

boost on the ARX seems to be 14-15psi max and it goes back to about 12psi at 5000rpm.

Looking forward to the Dyno shoot out and that new ECU tuning.

I had the throttle position switch reset last week and the butterfly cleaned and the car is a little more responsive but a little thirstier. LOL if that is possible.

Working on getting the Legalis Exhaust when I can.

Cheers

Andy

Well looks like there's some consistency on a stock cars with many reporting anywhere from 130-140awkw, the boost does spike to 1bar but drops off according to the tuner that dynoed a blue Stagea vq25det...he didnt take notice of what variant the car was, but did say that the spike in boost didnt make more power. overall it dialled in 135AWKW

He's been running some bench testing on the programming and he's getting pretty close...he's also promised me a little xmas surprise,...PROJECT VSPEC II will be finally gift wrapped on Christmas Day after 12months of waiting, hopefully while I'm running in the 94 R32 Vspec II during the Xmas break, he'll call me up to lock in the Stag for some intensive Brain surgery...Fingers Crossed, A fully Loaded AXIS & VSPEC II is my kinda Xmas.....Now all thats needed is a quick call to the Reserve Bank for a helping hand :)

Guys would love to join you on Thursday but will have to misss this week.....maybe the 18th could be a goer for me

Cheers

Have I got the wrong person?

Gold M35 Stagea?

Maybe its MXFLY

Michael,

Are you driving other peoples cars without them knowing....LOL :)

For any of you Northern Beaches/ North Shore guys we should arrange a catchup one Sunday or Saturday.

I wish Santa would drop something good in my Car Stocking.....

Michael it was my car you drove from Ben's shop :)

I'll be keen to meetup with the Stag boys as well, i'll see if i can make it this week, if not next week will be better for me, thanks for the invite GoldZilla :)

And Tony, that's a very nice V-Spec II you have there, very jealous :D:)

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
