After a quick read it appears that jap cars are a lot cheaper in nz. I thought id share my stag with you guys. Got it for 19k NZD 10 months ago and that was above average price. Ive seen the same model for sale with only 70k on the clock for 12.5k.. granted it had a huge ugly wing on it :P

Auto

RB25DET

Nice car mate,kit looks nice,a nd love the spoiler. How do you find the handling of the RWD compared to the AWD? One of the guys where I work is considering importing a RWD stag to do a manual conversion and RB26DETT, the way he figures it's a lot cheaper and easier than converting an AWD model... coincidentally he's a kiwi too lol.

Cheers guys!

Nice car mate,kit looks nice,a nd love the spoiler. How do you find the handling of the RWD compared to the AWD? One of the guys where I work is considering importing a RWD stag to do a manual conversion and RB26DETT, the way he figures it's a lot cheaper and easier than converting an AWD model... coincidentally he's a kiwi too lol.

For a plain ol rb25det i think RWD is the better option. I have too much traction in the rear as it is! The 4wd version is really just dead weight in my opinion as the rwd model is already 1540kg, the only advantage would be snow going and suspension parts availability as the RWD model appears to use laurel type sus. gear.

Im not sure if the front suspension of the 4wd model will provide better handling but where the 4wd gains there i reckon i can catch up with a lower overall weight.

As for GTR gear in a rwd stag, i would probably go for the easy route and do it to a 4wd model. There are a couple of RS260s over here one in particular pushing towards the 350-400kw range on a T04z Also met a guy that converted an RS4-S to an RB26 and run down to the low 11's >:]

Once i get the safc2, fmic and exhaust i should be hitting the dyno to see what power it actually makes. Might be a while though heh.

I'm not the biggest fan of yellow but man that looks good, Rims look great on it too. Love the body kit, is it just the DayZ extra that has that kit? Is yours a prime edition with leather and woodgrain inside?

Yeah yellow grew on me too hehe.

All i know about the kit is that it came with the car from Japan and it has DayZ on it on the front and rear.

Unfortunately i didnt get leather, wood or sunroofs. I have gunmetal plastic instead which i prefer, but id kill for leather and twin sunnies. Leather looks mint in stageas, well leather is just mint anyway!

Love those wheels!

I'd love to get myself a set of those V35/G35 wheels for my Stagea, but there aren't that many floating around that I've noticed, so either I go for the original idea of racing-style wheels (still deep in my thoughts anyway), or start looking properly for a set of those Nissan wheels.

Nice car, congrats!

That's the second mellow yellow Staj I've seen other then the one parked outside and it is making me feel warm and fuzzy and sick all at the same time.

Those mags are 'floating my boat'.

The rear spoiler almost 'baked my potatoes.' I prefer the shorter stock style.

By the way, what's the warning sticker say? "Warning, do not attempt to drag this car or you will be humiliated!!

Dam your right I didn't even pick that up with the heads lights,  they are different around the edges. I wonder if the are stock like that.

The wheels cost me $600 NZD - roughly 550-600 AUD - second hand from a mag shop here (they must have been left from someone who upgraded their G35.) Tyres were nankangs and cost 220NZD per piece.

The lights appear to be factory. They have carbon fibre look surrounds. Maybe theyre part of the DayZ thing, im not sure.

Oh and its some warning for females not to wear tight clothing due to excessive acceleration. heh.

Heres some pics of one of the 260 RS's in NZ with r34 front.

Looks good.

$19k is a bit on the high side, but it has a lot of extra stuff and looks in good nick.

I like 4WD ever since a pulled out of a service station quickly in the wet and instead of sliding sideways, the car just went where I pointed it. It's also good around wet round-abouts.

By the way, you forgot to blank out your number plate in one of the photos.

Once again, nice car.

(P.S. does anyone know if you can modify the headlight to be like that, or anywhere that might sell them???)

Agreed. I would like to do it to an S1

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
