Isn't there some discussion about having it tuned locally vs interstate? The whole air pressure at home and all that? lol, but dont get me wrong.. love a roadtrip. Most likely will head over to ESP and get it tuned and all that by them directly. I am after convenience, but at the same time I want to save $$$ anywhere I can. The whole reason for this is because I was just after convenience. I hope I didn't come across like I didn't like one shop over the other, I just wanted to see what option best suited me.

Ok.. so turns out that they don't do any tuning because they don't have a dyno. They're happy to install etc, but organise tuning via ESP. *sigh*

Thanks for that. The reason I highlighted techworkz was because they're close to my work and just convenient for me. I'd love to get my car to ESP or Trojan as they are known for working on RB's, but unfortunately unable to get there without it interfering with work. Ill give them a call and suss it out.

hey guys, looking to create a checklist of mods for the stagea. I'm still getting my head around the whole tuning and mods thing, so please feel free to ask questions if I'm not clear on what I'm saying.. lol Currently, exhaust system has been fitted. I havent had a chance to jack the car up and have look at it.. but definitely one of the MUST DO things with all imports. Boost controller (GFB G-Force ~$350) FMIC (HDI - I see a few of u guys have these installed without any drama's? BC coilovers & rims Nistune ECU w/ z32 AFM (?). I'm not looking to break any records, but looking to have some sort of freedom to tune. As a daily, will a z32 really be necessary? Again, feel free to suggest, critique, lol at my list.. <3

Hey guys, Looking to get a nistune ECU for my Stagea. Nistune because I'm budget conscious.. but I havent been able to find much info on who in Canberra has experience tuning these things. I walked into DTS today and they had no idea what I was talking about. I've searched SAU, but was looking for some local (ACT) knowledge and/or opinion.

nothing major, but I installed a new headunit. Now I can listen to some tunes, and not just the exhaust.

stagea logo is pretty cool.. definitely something u can work into a decent tattoo..

lol.. strong miscbrahs/10

lol.. come on guys, I've had it for less than 2 days.. i'm on it, I'm on it!!

haha yeah, i just figure that out.. dont know why it didnt occur to me straight away. I think I was still in giddy mode and was looking forward to never before seen Japanese gizmo's. Cheers tho!

a quick photo of that thing in the back.. I tried googling it.. but couldn't find anything.. edit: actually, I think it may be the immobilizer... i found the the actual 'siren' thingo.. under the drivers seat..

Thanks dudes.. +1 for bigger rims. Not sure wat style I want.. currently photoshopping to pass time. Should I do the whole VIP style? Or go something a bit more Tempe tyres? Haha.. this will be interesting.

thanks for the confirmation guys.. now all I need to do is figure out how to turn mine off all together. It automatically comes on and I have to button mash until it turns off.. lol. Cheers, Karl

Hey guys, I had plenty of dreams and aspirations, but due to discovering a leak from the head gasket - which was discovered a couple of days after I purchased the car - I don't have the funds to repair/maintain it, also and the CV joints (i think) needing replacement soon, PLUS! a bodged-up ankle surgery which is currently being disputed, I havent got the funds on hand to repair it. I still drive this as a daily to and from work which is around 10km each way.. and the occasional trip to sydney and back.. and always keeping an eye on the oil/water. I would love to see it repaired and get it where it should be. Otherwise, I will probably just drive it to the ground. The interior is mint! for a car that is almost 20 years, the leather and carpet is fantastic. No cracks on dash, and all electrics in dash work too. $2000 Located in Banks 0432808254 Specs: 1992 Lexus LS400 1UZFE (V8) Rego til 8/11 150,xxx km Two-tone silver/grey Moonroof Blue leather interior (excellent condition! Currently have seat covers on them to save them as much as I can) Previous owner had the 100k service done: Major service performed including 8 Iridium plugs again with the bank loan Timing belt & Waterpump anyone with experience with a 1uz will tell you this is a kent of a job & well requires a small bank loan lol. Twin Tig welded 2 1/4 inch exhaust fitted with aftermarket cats, still has 4 mufflers so quiet at idle but opens up nicely under load. KYB shocks & King Low shocks fitted NRMA battery the thing could start a truck. 4 BF Goodrich tyres fitted in the last ~1500km Rear brake pads machined last month Car has factory climate control aircon (LCD screen running) 6 stacker CD player, factory first aid kit & original Lexus Tool Kit, spare tyre has never been used or the cigarette lighter. Drivers seat & steering wheel showing signs of age but still better then most imported Celsiors I have seen. Ie the seat is not torn and comes up ok with a bit of leather polish the rest of the interior is mint. There is also some car park dings on the rear passenger door. I'll post pics asap.

lol.. thanks guys. FYI: my ride thread.. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/368774-act-new-stagea-owner/

Hey guys, Need to reintroduce myself, I was initially a R33 owner about 4 years ago, then did the whole Toyota scene, and now I'm back with a recently co-purchased 1999 RS4 S.. 5 spd RB25DET Neo etc.. I say co-purchased, as it is my dads who will be retiring very soon, and will use it until he decides to leave Australia.. then it will be mine, ALL MINNNEE!! So the car came with a few extras which surprised me considering its imported.. BOV, exhaust, boost guage - I would have thought those would have been stripped - aftermarket H/U (japanese), r-spec turbo timer, 2 sets of Pioneer TV antennae's, and has these other funky gadget which I'll try take photos of because I don't know what is. Its located behind the back seat.. and it has WARN, FULL and CURRENT More to come..

Hey guys, I would like to re-introduce myself to the ACT SAU peeps after a 4 year hiatus on anything Nissan. I'm Karl, and have recently purchase a black 1999 RS4S Stagea. Back then, I used to drive a 'violet-ish' (?) R33 and sold it to someone in Northside.. and since then did the Toyota scene.. I live deep in the south, Banks, and have see a few skylines down here.. Pics to come.. Look forward to the banter. Cheers. Karl
