Stagea Axis Nm35

[zei20l]

just come you girl! lol but bring the GTR

[NRVOUS]

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

Thanks Eugene,

The VSPEC has been a long time coming & its one of those special Toys that you never part with; It was a one owner car in Japan with heaps of Nismo gear never had any accidents or paint and its a realkeeper so I decided to give it a bit of TLC.....BTW finally got the cooler on the AXIS, no real noticable difference in Power, will just have to wait until the thing is completely remapped. The the reo needed some trimming and wasnt a straight fit with a bit of stuffing around....I'm sure it will serve its purpose during the hot summer months.

How much stuffing around?

How much stuffing around?

Jamhe77,

Like most of these intercooler kits, there's always a little bit of trimming to be done here and there, the reo bar needed some aluminium shaved off at both ends where the intercooler end tanks finish and slots for the stock cooler needed top be cut off so the Greddy clears nicley......now its sits perfectly behind the Bar.

Hey Tony, any idea when this tuning is happening AND how much your tuner will be charging?

I don't mean to be impatient, but I am looking at either doing this or having my eManage Ultimate installed and tuned.

Got the money and the unit for the eManage, but would like to weigh up my options.

Mate once he's cleared some cars out next week (There was a flood of Porsches he was tuning) ....he'll be focusing on the AXIS, the plan is to pick up my Christmas project which has been hibernating for more than 6 months and then book in the stagea. I'll find out some indicative pricing for you; at this stage I'm waitng for the green light to drop the car off and it looks more like we will venture into the new year before I have any raw info to share.

Greddy complete kit with piping, I purchased it from one of the forum members for $1K, now with the dollar its probably close to $2K to bring it in.

any closer to your computer edit ? any idea on final power output?????

and for we VIC owners... How often would it need to be re-tuned?

Jamhe there's no need for retuning unless you're making any other mods to the car like upgrading turbo etc., once the car is remapped and performing at its optimum efficiency there's no need for any further messing about.....remember the main objective here is to achieve sensible power gains offering excellent drivability without having to consider wiring up piggy back options.

To answer your question "Still waiting for a slot to book th car in"

A standard BMW 335 twin turbo with no mods other than a complete remap of the ecu produced 235KW at the rear treads....remember that these cars produce 225KW at the fly in stock trim. Now I've heard of other 335's making close to 260KW at the wheels with turbo back exhaust & intake mods ,either way there is alot to be gained just from remapping a standard car.

The XR6 Turbos have achieved amazing gains through ECU retuning without piggyback systems...and this has been the approach that I have opted for once the car in completely tuned with the mods in place i.e Turbo back exhaust & Intercooler upgrade theres nothing more to do other than just enjoy it....right Now all can do is wait until there is a time slot to book the car in.

Thanks, that puts my mind at ease.

I foresee an possible intercooler upgrade, then roadtrip - already got my HiFlow and exhaust

May even be able to convince some Vic M35's to take the trip as well.

gotta say though... it's i amhe77, not jamhe77.

Again, thanks for the info Tony.

Much appreciated.

HOPE I HAVE MY CAR WHEN THE TRIP IS ORGANISED

You've got time mate

[NRVOUS]

Just to keep you updated, car will be booked in next week for a comprehensive tune....whilst I'm away on holidays I've managed to squeeze in the cue and book it in as they have 10 days to play with the AXIS and achieve the best possbile results, this will also remove the speed limiter and possibly tighten up shift points on the gearchanges as well.

Fingers crossed should have some respectable figures for everyone in a 2 weeks time.

YES!

Look forward to the results Tony.

Quick Q though.

If the battery happens to die, fuses replaced or the car is taken to an over-zealous dealership and they do a "factory Reset", will it reset to "factory" settings or to "tuner" settings?

[sleeper393]

cool this is all happening around the time i'll be picking my car up, so where is the tuner located , and if interstate how would you get a custom edit ???
