Hi guys.

i have an Axis Autec. its an 02 with cloth interior, no nav/screen.

reading a few of the older posts it refers to some of the differences etc between the RS-4 and the RX-4 and the ARX

going on Carsales there are some Axis cars badged incorrectly for example

this car advertised is clearly an Autec Axis but the wheels are missing.

Autech Axis - missing wheels

this car advertised is what you would consider an Autech Axis but is badged an ARX

ARX Autech Axis?

so i guess what im asking is did the NM35 Axis Autec come from a variety of different models or did they all start as a particular model ie, RS-4.

or could you take your Stagea no matter the model to Autech and have it modified to be an Axis.

its hard to distinguish as they all have different options etc. some with Sat Nav, some without, Some with elec Seats and some without, some with Leather some without. if you read the autech page listed in the M35 info sticky link it shows many different options.

Hi Garett

It is a little hard to give you a straight answer to this question as you can see by the cars listed it is a little confusing.

Most Autech Axis are from the RS/RX body and they are speced up but as you said, there are many different options that could be selected. The first car you listed is definitively an Axis with ARX wheels. As cars need to be complied as a factory car it is quite possible this car had non factory wheels when it was imported and they fitted wheels they had for compliance.

The second car you listed started life as and ARX (can be determined by the interior trim) and seems to have been optioned up with and Axis body kit.

I would say you could take any car to Autech and have it fitted with special options.

Cheers

Andy

I've never seen an Axis without leather before. What colour is the cloth interior?

it's black. With a suede like charcoal in the centres, black carpet. The car is pearl white which correct me if

I'm wrong only came on autech models

If you want to know the factory specs I can run the Vin for you, will show if anything has been modified since.

can you get me a pic of the front wheel barring assembly? Just use your Vin otherwise I have to get off my lazy arse and go downstairs to the car park!!!

Andy tried but his is F$#king useless :(

MATE! Whats your problem!!!....do you have a problem...me think's so.......I had a simple request your simple mind could not decipher! :(

I don't use PC(because I hate Microsoft OS's)....therefore I cannot use FAST.

And no I don't no my VIN# off the top of my head.....maybe I should....hey look if it really makes you happy I'll get it tattooed onto my arm.

:rofl:

P.S. sorry....i'll stop the highjack now!

Not really optioned. Axis and ARX panels are interchangeable in models up 2001-2004 (the flares match up). So all the previous owner would have to have done was buy an Axis front bar and get it and the flares pained the same colour as the body :(

Also, I believe that if you wanted Autech bits, you had to buy the Axis... Nismo can option up most models from the Nissan dealership (seems they didn't like touching the ARX though :( ), but Autech only did the complete car from what I can gather.

I don't think they wanted to mess with perfection of the ARX

well mine has nismo floor mats - i know they would probably be able to be bought at every corner shop in japan. and nismo suspension. it looks as old as the car so id suggest very early fittment or factory fitted.

here are some pics.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.

      Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
