Hi lads Confirmed it on the weekend when i pulled it out. Exhaust impeller blown to million pieces and wait for it .................. front compressor impeller blown in a million pieces as well :wacko: intercooler was full of broken bits. Cleaned everything out on the weekend with the hot high pressure spray hose at the servo. Hence i just dropped the turbo off today to hypergear for high flow job. He is in Campbellfield. Link here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/261613-hypergear-hiflow-service-continued/ :yes: :yes: Now i have ordered the new nissan tubo gaskits. And i am after new fuel pump and injectors to suit the new turbo. Any suggestions... remember this is a street car. Then off to get re-nistuned at the Dyno. Not happy that it has happened but i am using this as a excuse to put some extra goodies into the car. Dont want to go stupid as it is still a daily driver / tow car for the race car. Hence talking with the guy at Hypergear he advised that it will be nice and streetable with good low response but still have a good top end as well with his high flow job that he does.

HI Duncan you beat me to my previous post. I will let you know what i find at the CAT

Can the AFM still be stuffed if it doesn't look physically damaged? And if it is stuffed then why does it idle so nicely? Surely the AFM would make it hunt or idle very poorly. I also have new theroy: Blown exhaust wheel off turbo shaft... hence no real boost? Looks like i will be taking off front part of exhaust to check for rear turbine has delaminated off the shaft. if it has it will be sitting next to the CAT.

Hi all I have a issue with my stagea concerning the loss of power., possibly in some sort of LIMP mode? Car: Stagea C34 1999 model RS4S manual Mods: Standard turbo, Large front mount intercooler, 12 PSI boost, POD filter & NISTUNE ECU, CAT back 3inch exhaust.. nothing over the top. She is a good tow car !! Scenario: Driving to work the other day gave the car a boot full to get around some cars, The car during hard acceleration had a massive hesitation ( similar to bouncing off rev limiter) then backfired. I lifted off quickly and then from then on the car has had no power or even very little boost. It will very slowing accelerate to speed and you can here it labouring ( But not missing or poping or pinging). Car idles nicely every thing works.. no engine light ... i am also able to rev the with no load and it will rev to 6k to 7k no problem. No oil leaks, No blue smoke out of the exhaust. Engine is idling beautifully sits on 900 rpm rock solid. everything under the bonnet looks ok.!!!! Things i have tried: Did a full ECU check using the consult port and it gave me code 55 - meaning no problem found with ECU. Disconnect battery for a couple of hrs then reconnected to no eval. I checked all of the hose's including turbo piping to see if something is blown off.. nothing found I checked Air flow meter for damage but nothing looks bad. I even disconnected the airflow while the motor was running and it started to hunt then die hence i am thinking air flow meter is OK. What to try next? Is there a possibility of a blown turbo? Can there be a ignition issue? Can there be other sensors but surely that would cause the ECU to give a problem code?? Co lapsed Cat? Help would be appreciated! Rotaron

finally found one in vic ..... thanks hoy32

Thanks bucks .... i will keep it in mind. Anyone else in VIC??

Sorry for the Late reply lads but i have been busy !! The Tow bar turned out really well, It is tucked up nice a neatly under the car and is rated to 2000kg. Dropped the Stagea off in the morning and he finished it that night. I haven't had a chance to tow the race car with it yet as i am still doing work on it. But i will be at the island on the 28th April for the next round of PIARC sprints if all goes well. ( racing the mazda RX3) It is solidly bolted to the rear end of the car and he also put some additional plates in the spare wheel well to support the main structure of the tow bar. The electrical connection all lives in the spare wheel well. I will try to get some pic's at some stage but just been to busy!!

Surely there must be some one in VIC??

Hi Looking for Cargo Blind to Suit Series 2 Stagea. Prefer pickup in VIC but will consider postage if reasonable cost.

I have the car booked in for Wednesday next week. I will keep you posted !!!

All tee'd - up for next week after seeing Locsed on the weekend. He will do a 2000kg rated towbar as per our discussion on weekend unless something unforseen comes up for C34 stagea. He will have to cut the bumper but it will be a small neat square hole as the car is already lowered and i need the height to be correct for the towball. I said to him that it had to nice a neat and i dont want electric's handing out on the bumper, they will be in the boot and i will pull them out of spare wheel well when i need to plug in the trailer.

Hi dasic1 I have just updated from a R31 skyline wagon to my C34 stagea rs4s. But i am towing a mazda RX3 so not as much weight as your 'Q'. I am hoping that it will tow well considering my total weight with race car and trailer being more like 1400KG to 1500KG max. I presume that the Guy in Ringwood will still be able to help me out and it doesnt matter what model stagea it is? He seems to be able to custom build what ever you need from talking to him on the phone. But time will tell when he see's my car and I see the quality of his work. My one concern is from a engineering perspective and i want to know where the mounting points are going to be put on the body chassis rails of the stagea.

I am going to go see the guy at Locset over the weekend in Ringwood. He has advised that he can do the job for me but it has been a little while since he has done one for a stagea. Lets see what he can do and would be interested to see what price and what setup he will build for me. I presume it will be a similar setup to what you guys have above and will be used to tow the race car!!

Are cargo blinds still for sale? Happy to pay freight but can you give me estimate to Vic 3006 Ron..
