Auto Electrician rang to ask where diagnostic port is.

Can anyone tell me where exactly the port is on a NM35 Stagea?

I just said "have you looked around the driver n passenger foot wells?"

Might be time for a new auto electrician.

That's what I was thinking. Lol. They come highly recommended around town and alot of business gave em a good wrap. Probably just lazy to look.

Hopefully your right.

But as pn-mad said it is driver side.

They reckon they have found a loom of wiring that is corroded really bad near the location of the battery with water pooling. They cutting it out now and going to replace that section and going to keep the old section to show me.

There have been a couple of these lately; it might be worth everyone checking.

A stitch in time; saves nine. ;)

Yup, turn car off remove key, open the fuse box in the drivers side footwell, and stick your hand down there as far as you can. See if you can feel water, or moisture. That will mess up your electrics real quick. I make a habit of clearing the crud from the plenum area, right down to where the drains are in the bottom of the guards. Mud and crud build up over time.

Got the Stagea back from the Auto-Elec yesterday, a big chunk of wiring loom got replaced and everything is running sweet once again.

Taken it for a few drives with no problem.

So great warning for people, make sure you clean out your drainage points regularly because its not worth the problems if you don't.

Good to hear it's sorted, definitely a timely reminder for everyone else.

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
