2003 Arx Guages

[Bis-e Bee]

give it a hit in the wet around a corner and youll see the torque gauge move

ive actually worked out how to get the stagea sideways in the wet!!

It must be rocket science if it took you to work it out lol.

I'd prefer not to be sidewise unless I'm in a skidpan

[[[d a n n y]]]

lol it's easy to get it sideways in the wet..

i got it sideways about 5 times on my way home..(unintended)

easy to control..

im used to all wheel slides coming from a bunch of awd performance cars..

then again..

ARX got he 6cd radio from what I have seen. that said the wiring IS THERE! if you are up for it find the cluster and plug it in.

Here's one I found, new, on rhdjapan.com: http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm-low/NISMO-M35-...ers-White-56190

ahh damn!!! ok ill find more shit you guys dont have in your povo packs

LOL, cue the games of "Hey, have you got one of these???"

I might have to try harder lol

I think mine sits a bit steadier due to Nismo S-Tune suspension, the weight doesn't move around quiet as much as standard suspension M35's.

hahaha yes i cant wait for that tonight! whos coming???

and stephen, yeah firmer suspension will make it MUCH easier to get sideways. hence why it took me longer, a wet night and 5 people in the car

2003 RS FOUR here, with the guages in the centre (except my boost guage is broken - barely works - 99% of the time it sits on full vacuum even under heavy throttle when i can hear the turbo spooling).

no "stagea" on door sills, no leather, no heated seats, no rear air-con vents... you guys suck lol

but hey...i do have guages...even if only 2 of them are working (but the volts one isn't very interesting and i dont drive fast enough for the front torque one to move much either).

no overdrive button - but then s2 stageas dont have one either. no real need when you have tiptronic.

Broken boost gauge eh? Yep, me too.

Hasn't worked properly since 2 weeks after I got it.

Had a number of looks at it and so have RE Customs.. Nothing doing.

Have given up on it and will be looking at getting a Nismo cluster (in the distant future).

Jack one rear wheel off the ground, with handbrake off, rotate wheel. If wheel turns, no lsd. Friction from lsd will prevent you from rotating wheel. Good luck, hopefully more free lsd's will be found!

Erm, just so you know, with one wheel up and handbrake off, my old man's Prado's wheel can be rotated & it has an LSD.

Maybe I will just wait 'till the weekend and see if there is anything stamped on it instead!

on S series chassis, they usually have an orange sticker somewhere, maybe R chassis also do, then our M may also have some sort of indication

Yeh, you're right, spotted this with my mates supra a while ago, and it locks up hard on the street, but it still had resistance. wouldn't free wheel. It's more just a simple rule of thumb. Definitely will be something oil related on the diff tho'

[Jezboosted]

In relation to the LSD and how do you know if you have it question, I have found that in the RS4-S, i can hear the LSD when turning 90 degrees up and out of our underground carpark. I am only doing 5 kph or less and can simply hear the inner tyre going "chirp chirp chirp chirp".

Hope this helps !

standard LSD shouldnt be that noticeable..

u might have a aftermarket in yours?

[zei20l]

a stock LSD wont skip on a carpark/tight turns. yes an aftermarket mechanical LSD will, or a CIG diff or something modified.

[Jezboosted]

Well that has put a big grin on my face !
