    What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

    Nice one harts :)

    Engine build specs?

    Damn I'd love to go nistune board 6 and bigger injectors :(

    After tune I'm putting it up on gumtree for sale I think.... All in my head, but if I got defected I'm rooted & would have to part it out. Never had an issue, moreso 'whatif' factor.

    Will post back after tune with the result. I'd be happy with any result higher than previous tune pre engine rebuild (was 255rwkw at 1bar).

    4b, looks awesome mate !!

    booked in for a dynotune. a proper one, not this run-in tune Ive been on for too long

    excited :)

    going to adjust timing to get rid of the cold start flat spot (been there since I swapped out the CAS), and tune for high boost

    not sure what boost to aim for, its a hyrbid GT3076IW-BB core with ported front stock housing and .73ar rear

    apparently good for ~ 1.5bar

    Im thinking let them go for it on the dyno to see where they can get to safely.

    To register in SA:

    - stock suspension, or non adjustable shocks

    - not too low, must be minimum 320mm by memory from centre of wheel to wheel arch

    - exhaust not too loud (4.5" will have some note to it!)

    - pod filter fixed with bracket to engine bay wall, or replaced with stock airbox

    - boost controller removed

    - air bag steering wheel needs to be fitted for insurance purposes I believe

    - standard turbo if they are cluey and check it out

    - non Xenon headlights (series2 guys can tell you more about this)

    Pretty much as standard as possible, within reason.

    Best of luck with it!

    Will Let It Go....

    Just putting it up here.

    Probably is time I move on and let this go to someone who can go on with the next stages of modifications.

    If I was the buyer, Id

    - eventually look at the mirror rust

    - get a new front bumper bar as the bottom has been cut out, maybe even a new kit such as Nismo (see monkeywarehouse.com), and tidy up the paint a little

    - have a high boost dynotune done by Boostworx as-is and see anywhere from 265-280rwkw with the front driveshaft removed

    - look at buying a Nistune type6 board, install with larger injectors again to say 555cc (up from 450cc currently), and tune to the maximum of the turbo capabilities and see 300rwkw at ~20-22psi. Sell off the Toshi ecu chip and the AEM F/ic-8 piggyback ecu to pay for the Nistune.

    Car runs great as is. Dumps fuel in the high rpm range due to its current state of tune (sort of a run-in tune still after the bottom end build). Cold start can be *slightly sluggish for a minute at the 2000rpm mark. These issues would be addressed with a new dynotune. Does 370km to the low tank warning light, down from 420km when it was near stock with 110kw. Was 255rwkw prior to engine build, now at 235rwkw on run-in tune with low boost.

    I cant afford to do anything else to this car, including the tuneup. Full time medical radiation student, not working, means I cant do what should be done to this beast and would like to see it go to a good home while I replace with a similar km car to get me through my final years of study and a few years of working as a radiographer.

    Genuine reason for sale - if it got defected Id be f**ked as I couldnt afford to take a couple things back to standard. Its mainly the cut bottom front bar that shows off the intercooler that makes it stand out a little. Having said that, Ive never been pulled over besides 2 standard RBT stations and its all in my head. Never had any issues with the authorities.

    Owned for ~8yrs now, was the 4th or 5th Stagea registered in SA. Long term SAU'er and can be trusted - I dont lie!! :) Price is a firm "SAU special". Its a giveaway in all honesty. Comes with boxes of spares and parts. No lower offers will be considered, so dont ask.

    Sorry to the mods and the general stagea community for putting it up here.

    HDI cooler may not be able to do it's job past 310kw

    Could very well already be past it's peak efficiency.

    I'd seriously be looking at buying a jap brand name cooler such as greddy or hks.

    I used a small apexi return flow unit off a 180sx on my Stagea and it couldnt tune past low 200's kw on a Sliding performance turbo due to the coolers small size / heat soak. Upgraded to a larger used hks core and gained another 20kw with minor alterations to the tune. Then upgraded the turbo for more again ;)

    Was a fair while ago so memory is a bit hazy, but I recall the cooler was holding the engine tuning back significantly......

    Mines as cheap as they come, for an extensively modified example, doesn't mean it's got issues. Id say most C34 stageas will have under mirror rust, just how it is, and yes mine included.

    See cars for sale section for the SAU Adelaide price ;) too cheap in all honesty.

    Ready for its +270kw dyno tune but don't have the money to do it.

    Owned my Stagea for ~8yrs now.

    If you look at that black Series2 make sure you see the service history and import sheet to verify the kms. I could be sneaky and say mine is only 12,000kms old, lol :) *since bottom end build.

    Best of luck finding what you want. Great cars. Best I've owned. But I do worry about being defected, hence why I'd let mine go to the right buyer. Only reason I'd sell.....
