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.

Welcome to the forum. Car looks nice. Any big plans for it?

You can remove that ETC sensor.

PM sent regarding the navi system. ?

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...

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 guys, this is my first post. had my 250 rx stagea for about 3 months now and have changed the interior in it.

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?

[pomnz]

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/
