Hi All,

Well I am glad to say I will soon be a nissan owner once again - cant wait! About to buy a Nissan Stagea M35 Axis Autech 2002 model - turbo.

I have come here to look into converting the trip computer system from Jap to English text. But I am looking for some quick tips/info/links to help me get up to speed as there is a HUGE amount a info on this site and even this Stagea forum section. Its crazy! But nice. So anything would be helpful as I do not want to be a inconvenience.

So I want to get the jap to eng conversion done. I see Andy's email as the go to guy for Sydney area? Can I do this myself since I studied electronic engineering in computer systems? I am always tweaking/hacking stuff. And I would like to make use of the navigation system if possible but I think people are installing replacements? Also I guess I need to work out if I have series 1 or 2 - how do I know that?

Also would be cool to have TV and external inputs for other devices like iPhone.

And anyone translated the characters on the buttons of the trip computer.

I dont have the car yet (hopefully in this coming week) which you may be able to tell from my questions. I will probably figure a lot of this stuff out once I got the new toy in my hands to start investigating but I want to make a head start on the text translations.

Any help greatly appreciated and great to be back here and to soon own a nissan again.

Paul.

Great choice. :D

Where are you located? There are a few people around who can do the language install...

Do a few searches and browse around, there isnt that much info around for the M35 yet, shouldn't take that long to read. :)

Welcome Paul.

You have a Series 1 car, as Series 2 cars are NOT turbo, built >2004. Different interior and a few other things. I'll let the guys that know all about electronics sort you out on the other things. Interestingly, I think the Series 2 cars have a direct Ipod connection, but i don't have an ipod, so haven't tried it. Just know that there is some connector in the arm rest that looks a bit ipod-ish!

If your in NSW, Andy can also help with TV.

I Think only Chris is doing Cruise control, up in QLD.

Mine is base model with the aero kit, no navi or cruise, and no LSD unfortunately.

Cruise only came out as an option, it is an auto sensing radar type and is pretty rare.

Seems series 1 m35's got one of the best VQ's, I just got back from tuning with some pretty impressive figures, more torque than the 2J supra there could pull off. (stock sequential turbos) Seems the rods are pretty strong in these, luckily. :)

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
