Hi guys, this is my first post. had my 250 rx stagea for about 3 months now and have changed the interior in it. I have a spare DVD rom with the nav system which is up for grabs for FREE just gota pay postage :) Im in NZ will to send to anywere though, saves me giving it to the wreckers.

Got the stag for $7000 which i was happy with, has the dual sunroofs. had a few things that has to be done. needs new boot stays and new boot hinge (glass rear wont stay open) Has anyone removed a boot before? I have got the parts and will install this weekend. Just wondering if there anything special i need to do.

Also i have what i asume is something for the ETC in Japan (black thing in midle of dash) can i rip it off?

Have added some pics of my beast

Thanks in advance for the help.

For now just doing things slowly like getting the rest of the black interior in, was then thinking the usual lowering rims and exhaust. and the black headlights too :)

Also looking for more power as being 2.5 NA hasnt got enough power for the weight.

Also just some advice for anyone looking at taking out the Dvd navi system. you need to cut and join a few wires cause the navigation uses the front right speaker so if you just hook up a new headdeck front right speaker wont work. this if from a rx with intergrated dash.

If you want to make it go faster the only person who can tune that ecu is Soichi from ST Hitech. he can also fit the HKS F-con if your getting serious!

Is that who Sidius used?

Came, saw, conquered, drank protein shake, kung fuéd Jetwreck, and then disappeared without so much as a bye your leave...whistling.gif

Gotta find a harness for the Fcon though, which is near impossible now.

He had to have his Fcon hard wired in as there were no harnesses available (at least going by what he told me).

Very expensive install without the NP5-15 harness... if you've seen the HKS harness, you'll know why!

Alric said his was the 2.5NA, so I'm guessing VQ25DD. Would be a completely different ECU and harness, right?

Bob, can Soichi flash the VQ25DD ECUs? I'd say that'd be a better option than an F-con if you're just going for a bit more power.

Apparently - the tuner who installed my Link (and is also a Motec installer) was complaining that he had take his VQ Stagea to Soichi for tuning. Soichi regularly goes back to Japan and has good contacts there.

Hi did you get new A pillar interior covers when you bought your new interior? If so do you still have the old ones? I need a pair for mine, I don't care what colour they are. Thanks

POMNZ I havnt but there are a few places i know that might have some Auckland Japanese Car Parts Centre Ltd in Onehunga Phone: (09) 634 5546 . Or HUNUA AUTO SPARES Phone 09 298 6138

They Both have quite alot of parts for the m35.

In previous posts there has been alot of talk about manuaing a m35 as i understand it is alot easyer for me as mine is RWD not AWD? is this correct?

Hi thanks for the info. As far as I know a manual conversion can only be done for the RWD stags using a V35 manual box. There was a (very) limited run of a Axis Autech 350s Stagea that came with a VQ35 engine and a RWD manual box so it can be done for sure. There is a thread on here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/252088-m35-manual-conversion/

    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
