The fastest ive been in the Stagea on a private road is 170km/h speedo km/h, but havnt been at/over 180km/h. Are we limited at 180km/h like other Japanese cars?

Probably people that have taken their cars to the drags would be best to reply as 180 is about 108mph, but i doubt anyones done a high 11/low 12 second pass with that trap speed.

Mine (wifes now) has one. We have open speed limits up here. It actually cuts in at around the 190 mark, the 260 has the same problem. Power FC is being tuned on Wednesday so I will let you know how it goes.

Cheers,

Never been that fast in a car before, private road or not. But on a bike, well, hehehehe, actually, no comment! =)

Never been over 180 in a car! Surely not! That's still in third gear!

Though the advantage I have is that I've spent a lot of time in countries with different speed (ie revenue) restrictions than Aus, plus cars are cheaper too...

Not in Aus, but I've turned the cruise control on at 220kmh and sat back and relaxed as I hummed down the highway! Also been over 300kmh a few times, but never managed to get it over 305kmh (car should have been able to do 320, but I'd put too much fuel in it so it was a bit heavy :-(...) :-)

Anyway, back on topic, yes the stageas all have the speed limiter unless there has been a remap/daughterboard or change of ECU. You shouldn't be able to get it much faster than 190.

    • Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there. 
    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!    
    • Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)
    • 1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit
