Finnaly got to drive the new stag yesterday after two months and im spewing it took so long for me to get one. they are soooo cool. its smashed every expectation i had of the car from the pics i saw of it. and im still finding gadgets everywhere. the first time i sank the right foot in shocked me. it got up and moved quiet alot quicker than i thought. so happy, but now i do have an unhealthy obssesion with not closing the boot properly jsut so it closes itself haha. :banana:

dont worry i do that too!! then people ask if im going to lock it.......

Yep, me too :P

Then when they see it pull itself shut, they always say "ooh, niiiiice". - yes I know, Stephen, could be taken as dirty, but I refuse to change it!

I've had mine 3+ years and every time I see Mrs 66 drive away I think to myself "thats a nice looking car" LOL

Yeah, had mine for 2+ years but I have only thought that twice... Once when my wife drove it shopping and once when we moved and my Dad was following the truck I was driving... other than that, I think it to myself almost every time I leave or approach it.

I had a quarantine check inspector have a hell of a time with the tailgate in our S1 - he 1/2 closed it, then opened it when it was self closing, then tried to close it when the motor was still running.

I ended up suggesting that I could close it for him so he could move on to the car behind us

:down:

They are a top piece of kit, and welcome to the family!

welcome!!

Yes the self-closing boot is such a cool feature. Its so handy when you have your hands full and you can just get your hand on the boot to pull it down. You just let it fall gently against the car without having to try to slam it when you're carrying too much stuff.

The other tricks I like is the levers either side in the boot to fold down the rear seats, so if you're loading something big into the boot you dont need to go round to each side and fold the seats down first.

I'm disappointed the M35 doesn't have the extra cig lighter in the boot, although admittedly I never used it in the s2. Just would be handy if you want to carry one of those waeco fridges in the boot or something.

The s1/s2's also have a removeable mat under the boot - but mine was missing this.

So many gadgets :thumbsup:

this might be going off topic but seeing as we are talking about features.... Does everyone elses S2 do this ?

Lock your car with your remote key, then unlock it again (let's say you accidently bumped the unlock button putting keys in pocket). In 30seconds, it locks itself again. It senses none of the doors have been opened within that time and decides it was a false unlock.

Now is this part of my clifford alarm or a standard stagea feature ?

most alarms do this, and also the factory immobiliser (whatever it may be) should do this too. its not just a nissan thing, my honda did it, the scoob, the fiat does it too. its just a security feature incase you bump the remote

I reckon that's an alarm feature. Mine never did that, but with the aftermarket alarm, the immobiliser comes on if the key hasn't been put into the ignition after approx 30secs when you remote unlock/disarm it.

The M35 is self-locking (most annoying feature ever) but the s2 is not. Must be a feature of your alarm. Read your alarm manual, I've had alarms that do this but its usually possible to disable the feature.

I've yet to read the V35 manual through to see if its possible to disable the auto-locking on the M35. There is also obviously some combination of doors opening that will prevent it from locking again, but I haven't yet worked out exactly what it is yet...just seems to lock sometimes but not others...

Glad to see I'm not the only freak....once swapped cars with my wife on a drive just so I could see it moving...lol....she only got it for 5 minutes though....then I had to have MY PRECIOUS back!!!!

The synchro switch locks on the awd to give 50/50 front/ rear drive when you start off. At higher speeds the computer takes over again and sends most drive to the rear except when the rear starts to lose traction.

hahah if you unlock the car, and dont open any door, it will lock itself again. open a door and it wont re-lock. easy!

nope. if I unlock the car, open the driver or front passenger door and close it, it will still re-lock. even with the boot open it will still re-lock. Its only been things like when all 4 doors open and close then say one opens again and stays open that it wont lock again - something like that. Like I said, its more complex than just leaving a door open, and I've yet to work it out.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
