Run-It-Hard

Pics are up: Will take $250 this weekend only!

This is actually 360mm in diameter, my bad!

Still on Ebay, just under a day left! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221176115526?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

These are now off my wheels and ready to go to a new home. I should note that one has sidewall rubbing (tyre hitting guard) this doesn't affect how the tyres are in any way. If they are fitted correctly you can hide that sidewall (face it towards the chassis) and happy days! Open to offers too

Bump!

GETTING STUFF DONE - VIEW ON THE BLOG The past week has been quite productive for the Stagea, it went into Dahtone to get some work done, some parts arrived and I’ve found some that will make their way onto the wagon. When I did the rear housing swap on the Kando TD06 turbo, the dump pipe and wastegate pipe no longer fit. So it went Anthony to get modified. While it was there I decided it was a good time to get a surge tank installed too. The surge tank has been installed under the driver’s side back seat. Anth modded a Aeroflow fuel pump bracket so the Bosch 044 was sitting in an ideal spot. Under car is great, you can barely hear the constant buzz from the pump in the cabin, you don’t get that fuel smell and if the 5-0 are on the hunt for defects, it’s going to be difficult to see. After snapping a traction arm at Wakefield, I’ve decided to change all of my rear arms. The traction rod is back to OEM but the mid section has been boxed up. The toe arms are the new GKtech V2 items … As are the camber arms. The GKtech arms are a great bit of kit, they are one piece (no welds) and are made out of billet. Which makes them lighter than your conventional arms. Comparing them to my old items (think Just Jap, Driftworks etc) they are nearly double the thickness. The camber arms have a 30 degree kink in them which is designed to help clearance issues of the subframe. Best of all, they don’t break the bank. Check out GKtech for more info. During my manual conversion, I sourced a manual console from Japan that was ment to be complete, but when it arrived I got jipped, it was missing the shifter surround. After many attempts to chase the original seller, Jesse had no luck getting in touch with him. Ever since I’ve been looking for a shifter surround. The console alone is rare let alone individual pieces. So I started searching for a part number to get one through Nissan. Anyway Benny is like “I’ll find one” and well, he did. Once he linked it to me I snapped it up quicker than Jim blowing his load over Nadia. I finally had the missing piece of the puzzle. You might have noticed that the Stagea has quite a bit of body roll when it’s getting the tail out. Although the 6kg Tein springs are comfy for every day, they aren’t up to the task of keeping the wagon flat on the limits. So I’ve ordered a set of Swift Racing springs from Japan, these are a hefty 12/10kg combo which should be the remedy of my body roll issue. It was a hard choice on whether to go a lower or higher spring rate. But the Swift springs have a tendency to feel softer then they actually are. Swift say it’s due to their exclusive material and fewer coils than conventional springs. Either way I plan to run a Tein EDFC so it’s easier (and more comfortable) for street/track damping set ups. There is just under a month until the next drift day, so I’m hoping the springs will arrive in time for a wheel alignment The Stagea still needs a re-tune too, but that won’t happen till a few days before event. Cutting it close, as always!

SECOND TIME COMING - PUT YOUR GUESS ON THE BLOG Way back in November, I did a little competition to guess what kinda power the Stagea will put down. Seeing that the setup was mass fail (lag city!) I’ve changed it up and it is going for another re-tune. Which means the guesses can continue to flow! The previous tune was only done at a measly 14psi too, it would have been unfair to use this graph as a decider after I stated it would be tuned at roughly 20psi. Here’s a quick re-cap on the specs: •Standard RB25DET •Kando TD06-20G 10cm •Turbosmart comp gate •3 inch exhaust •return flow intercooler •High flow injectors •Walbro lift pump •1 litre surge tank •Bosch 044 fuel pump •Haltech E11 ECU •Boost will be set between 18-20psi •Tuned for 98 octane •RWD This time it will be tuned near the 20psi mark, and will have a more impressive boost curve than the 12cm rear housing on it previously. The closest three guesses to the final power output will win Run It Hard merchandise! 1st place – Run It Hard! T-Shirt + sticker pack 2nd & 3rd place – Sticker pack To be eligible, you must put your guess on the blog’s comment section, either on this post or the previous one. Please be sure to enter your email address so I can contact you, if you’re one of the lucky three to guess closest. Fire away!

There's a spot under the rear seats (under car) that is perfect for a small surge tank.
