2002 M35 Stagea 25RS Four V Turbo

[Demon Dave]

someone please confirm that such a thing does not exist, not as a factory original or even an official option? Came across one while browsing the net...

Dave, you are asking people who the majority have never ever even seen a M35.

Yes they came in turbo right from the very start VQ25DET, Justin made the same mistake as well. Only thing is they are all Auto.

But I wouldn't care...with 280ps/41.5kgm...they are the shitz! More then enough power for your family duties and for a bit of fun.

Oooh yes the VQ25DET Stagea... Troy saved me from ownage on that one!

edit* would be a lovely engine swap into an R32 if someone cared...

I care Would make a great swap for my 34....but guessing the prices on the engine would be a tad scary.

[666DAN]

Actually looking at it, it uses the 5MA-Tx...which I'd assume would be very similar to the one in the 350Z.

So a few more assumptions would be...you could swap this engine into a 350Z and have a better base for some serious power.....hmmmm sounds good to me!

[Demon Dave]

OK guys...am I going blind? I can't see any VQ25DET powered Stagea's on the nissan homepage :confused: Are they still making them???

[Evo_Lee]

Told yah need to get out to the big smoke more often

Dave, search for VQ25DET Stagea...also Series 2 now offers a VQ35DE powered model.

I guess its a little off topic, but is it just me or does the M35 looks like a Volvo V70 from behind, and an Altezza from the front?

LW.

[Evo_Lee]

doesn't the C34 already look like a Volvo

[lwells]

doesn't the C34 already look like a Volvo

Yes, but now they seem to have gone for a Toyota+Volvo hybrid

LW.

[Evo_Lee]

mmmhhh dunno...maybe I've been here too long and I see these cars everyday.

I like the M35 much much more than a C34, obviously being newer and better equipt makes the C34 very dated, no offence guys. The M35 suits me to the ground, yeah old man talking here...if I hadn't focused so much on the Evo I should have send her home ages ago and now be driving a M35 to the snowfield .

M35 Series 2 is already out and scheduled body revision is expected end of next year or early 2006.

If you get an M35 Troy... you'll have no chance landing a bird... ever.

I thought women digged the whole Volvo-esq thing, or is it only when they are already married and have kids?
