Hi all just bought my Stagea (Stagea-C34-Autech-260RS-WGNC34) wanted one for too many years, stepping out of a BMW X54.6IS worked,


I have uploaded a gallery of images.


So far I have just replaced the Japanese head unit with motorised Clarion DVD iPod Reverse camera,amp & aub etc...


Many many mods from Japan major step is to get the power turned back on... MINE"S ECU Apexi Exhaust Sards hi-flow cat, Garrett turbos, fuel rail, injectors, HKS ignition,G-Racing coil overs, alloy front upper arms, Alloy wheel hubs, 2 piece VOLK RAYS, so much more I'm still finding...


Need help on unleashing he power... I'm in Newcastle & need a good tuner, I've had a complete inspection at the mechanics & everything is spot on but is is under powered.



Any advice would be very welcome or a contact for someone that can turn on the tunes or re-tune the MINE"S...

cant be tuned, dosnt suit straya fuel anyway.

buy a nistune and 2x z32 afms

$500 + $500 = $1000

or spend a little more and get a plug and play haltech and don't need to buy afms

$1800

any reason you say HALTECH? as I just spent $2500 replacing The Japanese Head unit so a bit for a ECU is well worth it...

If you already have z32s then nistune will be much cheaper. and a good option in its own right too, can still go flex fuel with the new ones.

I prefer haltech with no afms for several reasons but just have a bit of a search for the pros and cons of each ecu.

but tbh if you have already spent cash on z32s I would probably just spend $500 get a nistune and get a tune done.

Congrats on the autech :D I picked one up in March.

Just out of curiosity, I assume its fine, but is there any detriment or benefit to running the z32 afms with haltech?

There is a school of thought that says AFMs are more accurate than MAP sensors but my own thinking is that MAP sensors are closer to the action ... but I am open to being proved wrong. I haven't seen any back to back comparisons.

Always worth doing the cam belt on a new purchase - you don't know how accurate the km on the clock are.

Cam/timing belt being done as part of the 100k service to be safe.

Anyone have similar mods on an RB26 DETT - DET or RB25? If so what sort of power do you get & what do you think I will get?

Thanks Shaun.....

I got 270rwkw

r32 stock engine stock turbos

halltech platinum pro 1bar boost controlled by an electronic solenoid
without the cam upgrade and running out of injectors so you should se somewhere between that and a bit higher.
your turbos will run out before 300 I would say

I will go with what the mechanic recommends as I'm no expert.

But I do not want to destroy the engine as the car is almost NEW condition inside & out. I was very lucky to come across it.

Everyone wants over 300KW & a 10sec car, here's hoping/dreaming.

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      By Duncan · Posted

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful

      Rb's have issues with bottom end starvation, not head starvation. Which either way, you probably wouldn't ever see on a dyno. Strange... What's pump gas for you? Octane rating?
