sounds a bit harsh, normal carwash detergent in hot water for 10 min then use a hose to flush them, afterwards couldnt tell the clean side from the dirty side.

ok perhaps only with laundy detergent since its a fabric soaked probably for 1/2day.

Chook just to check with you when you install back the filter the clean side is facing right on the vertical . Means facing the driver's side? Let me know

My Factory AIR/NAV/TV system has a 'filter' symbol on the screen, shown during diagnostic mode, i assume this will appear when the air flow is slowed by the dirty filters. Sorry forgot to take photos.

whoa... a diagnostic mode for the xanavi system? cool! can it do consult?

There is a section in the STAGEA workshop manual for xanavi and consult system, although would probably display in japanese. Also appears to be a manual diagnostic which unlocks all sorts of hidden menu screens.

The manual diagnostic mode for the air con system is activated by holding down the OFF button after turning on IGN power.

Here are some pics for the curious, these are from an R34, but the instructions are the same for XANAVI and normal AC systems in Stageas.

interesting the a diagram from the workshop manual displays 'air conditioner' in english, whereas mine is in Japanese, maybe it can be changed through CONSULT ??

Some good info... not sure if I'm gonna keep the Xanavi at this stage or not, since I can't read Japanese :D It does look cool though and has lots of functions, and I like the colour climate display.

Looks like I've got a smoker's car; ash tray used a little (but not heavily) and cigar smell; gotta check that filter probably black

did mine today sticker in glove box said done 20 thousand ago but was still filthy all clean now

you inspired me today mike, i got under there and pulled them out. one slight issue for me was the (aftermarket) speaker wire has been threaded through one of the plastic parts making it a bit a pain to get the clearance to pull the filters.

otherwise a pretty easy job.

just out curiosity, does anyone know if it possible to remove the heater cores on S2 stageas without removing the whole dash. it looks fairly accessible through the glove box. i have been putting off replacing my broken heater core in my R33 due the pain of getting to it.

After cleaning mine today, i just thought id dredge up an old thread and let the newbies know, and remind us oldies, that they have an Air conditioner cabin filter in there Stagea that most probably has never been cleaned.

Thanks for the tip, another job for the list............and how was your filter looking after breathing that fine Queensland air since you cleaned it last?

was quite dusty, probably due to all the country dirt roads ive travelled on recently.

Also applicable for M35 owners, see pic.

Cheers Chook.

Been meaning to do this for a while now. *lazy bastard*

Next weekend.

ok here are the pics of the filter location for M35 (V35 too i guess)

this is after removing the glovebox, i assume most people can manage that so i didnt photograph it.

The first pic is the location of the filter. pretty easy.

on the left is the clip that opens the door (pic 2) to remove the filter.

when you put the new filter back in, be careful not to squash your filter. there are locator things that stick out of the door. the filter resides in the top half of the gap.

my old filter was squashed and didnt filter too well, it was also black as shit.

the 3rd pic is the part number of the filter. its very much available in australia.

    • Does the old one line up OK if you try to put it back in? In the 32 (different geometry) it is hard to reinsert the ball joint with the sway bar and spring attached. But ultimately.....this wouldn't be the first aftermarket part that is not right....
    • Yep and yep ! Every time I now take out the R33 I get a lot of thumbs up as well, and my car was also a daily until last year. Still get people coming up and asking about it. A while ago the most memorable being a V8 commodore driver who approached me in the bunnings carpark and asked me why the were so fast and what kind of V8 it had in it. Couldn't resist and told him they were only a straight six the same capacity as the 161 red motor. The look on his face was legendry. However the shine has gone off cause as well as the appreciation there is now a lot of harassment from other drivers in there VW/Nline/Ae86 with body kits or whatever the hell they are, while all I want to do is cruise.( well sort of drive with spirt ) I always try and get the hell away from them by driving slow, putting on my lawn bowling hat and leaning over the steering wheel to look as old fart as possible.
    • There really isn't enough to help remotely....the nav screen likely takes it's visual feed from another unit that is not plugged in properly now (that is how the cima worked at least). Sounds like at least the reverse cam works. It is a possibility the screen is dead of course, minor knock while it was apart. I had to replace the Cima screen because it would not display anything in the morning when below 0.  
    • Yeah, I get that. I try to be as cost-efficient as possible with cars, and typically prefer to buy them at the bottom of their depreciation curve. I was looking at those Bilsteins too as they're roughly in the same price bracket as the BC's - lack of adjustability and being soft put me off, not that I want anything too hard. That's my issue with the Skyline, it's too expensive and it's reflected in my driving. I don't mind going full pelt as long as there's a gravel trap to catch me. Really, proper safety equipment is needed for total confidence. Well this just turned up for the BMW. I'll try and get the front together tomorrow and take some pics of the absolutely horrid rear end; perhaps I'll have a crack at the rear on Wednesday. I need to make the car drivable before the weekend as I'll be driving it over to London.
