What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

Yep, they were originally copied off some imported mats I think but they now curve around all the floor bulges and the drivers one has the hole for the clip.

The rear cargo didn't go up the back of the seat as they couldn't work out how to hold it there. I didn't want the metal clamps I have seen on the JDM mats so I left mine as only the floor.

Edit: I did tell them they could drape it over the top and have the headrest bars go through it, they could possibly do that if you wanted but I would have to go and get my car remeasured for you.

want me to take a photo of my boot mat ??? they have plastic tab's that fold into the back seat, not perfect but pretty good.

passenger side HID died last week, bought aftermarket replacement pair (8000K) for quite cheap, took an hour to fit both plus new LED parkers since i didn't have access to hydraulic jack & had to figure out how many clips/screws i had to take off the plastic guard...

would like 5000K but seller only has 8000K for now

next to do: paint rear spoiler, fit new phillips 80+ bulbs for the fog/high beam & fit new spoiler once painted

While fitting the V35 mid pipe today I discovered the typical M35 cam cover leak. Must have just started as wasn't there last month.

Is it very bad? I discovered a few drips on some bolts when I was changing the turbo & ordered a gasket. But now that I'm driving it again it doesn't look too bad so may put it off for a while.

Any chance you have the part number handy?

Cheers

Sure, 13270AL612 Passenger side cover gasket & 13270AQ800 – Driver side cover gasket.

I only bought the passenger side & it was $28 but can't see why they would be different prices unless 'supply & demand' rules apply. I've heard they can be bought for as low as $25 - i wasn't going to quibble over 3 bucks.

While fitting the V35 mid pipe today

And how is the mid pipe :thumbsup:

No problems clearing that centre body brace by the transmission tunnel? Mine still clonks occasionally, must get underneath the car and loosen, wiggle and tighten some time...

It fit up easily and only had to reshape the heat shield around the tail shaft a little by hand. No knocks or noises. Exhaust note is a little nicer now as I can actually hear a nice little burble but still very quiet when on cruise. Power wise I have noticed a slight increase but not huge, as to be expected. Still need to change the front pipe to a 3" with high flow cat.

I was able to sell the rear muffler from the v35 for $25 so that's dropped the cost of the mid pipe to only $75! So good cheap upgrade.

Oh and the m35 mid pipe is bloody heavy compared to the v35.

Just a quick update on the v35 mid pipe upgrade I did. A bit of good luck for me. I payed $100 for the complete exh comprising of exh manifolds to rear muffler. Fitted the mid pipe to my m35, sold the rear muffler for $25, took both the cat converter sections to recycle yard and got $120 for the pair and then $2 for the rest of the exhaust for scrap metal.

So after all that my mid pipe was free and gained $47 on the deal.

Best bang for buck mod I've done yet!!!

    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
    • yeah pretty much, stopped playing after lightfall, couldnt be bothered with the final shape...  ran that game into the ground for years... bit of a shame.. the  story was awesome. was playing a lot of trials but the hackers became tooo much, ruined the game.

    • For example, you’ll need this approval if: you’re a car enthusiast looking to import a specialist vehicle or an older car you want to bring your vehicle with you when you move to Australia you manufacture or import special purpose vehicles or a small number of trailers each year.       Tutuapp 9Apps
    • I reckon you are 100% right on the money. The only reason I bought Red Sport instead of the base VR30 is that I am investigating racing it in Production Cars, and they require you to run a (mostly) standard car....therefore knowing exactly what was in the RS spec was important to me and I paid the extra. Other than that, for sure I would have pocketed the $10k and spent them on mods instead. Plus the non-RS models are more likely to have had a nicer life prior. Just a warning though, mods always cost twice as much as they look like they will on paper BTW you should also consider the 400R imports, they are about the same price as a local RS but 5+ years newer. Of course that comes with the usual warnings about finding parts, unhelpful nissan dealers and finding insurance
