Hey guys

My new bus has just arrived complied and ready to go, and should be on the road by this wednesday - just what Pawley and I needed after many backbreaking moments trying to get the baby in and out of the GTR.

A special thanks to Pawley for all his help and for washing it for me for the last 6 hours!

Pretty fancy boonga there, is it a turbo? What the typical price range for that year?

RB26DET engine

Have seen 96 RS4 models in adelaide for between 18-20k, but ours was imported.

so is it like the Autech model cause standard they come out with RB25det and theres also like a RSR26 model so i belive

on further looking its the Stagea 260RS

I think she just done a typo..

The Autech is the 260RS, no other Stagea's came with the rb26.

Went through regency this morning, no probs... except i forgot to take the 'owners manual' with the car.

"I'll let it go this time".... phew!

I have also spent over 100km in the car today, and must say it is a dream to drive. Quiet, silky smooth throttle, yet goes like a skun cat.

Worst part so far: $50 = 1/2 tank of fuel... sign of the times though.

Mate - mine (Stagea, yes, exactly like your photo, as you well know!) had the petrol usage problem for the first few months, I reckon you'll need to replace the oxygen sensor. Just by putting in a new one (they only last for around 40000kms) gave me an extra 120kms per tank of fuel.

Now, whats this about a owners manual? Thats simple got to be crap as far as I know - like my car didnt come with an owners manual! Id like Regency to try to make me contact the Japan owner and have them send it to me! As if!! LOL - I ended up getting the $50 one off ebay.

Also - have you got your batman suit ready to go??? Ive got to see that! LOL again. If ppl dont understand, see pg2 of : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=104667

Lastly - I had to change the look of my Stagea from yours, I couldnt live with myself if someone waved to me thinking it was you, so it now looks like this (with a nice fmic protruding thru the Dayz front bar): http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...ic=103899&st=40

ok first it was funny but now i am seriously concerned that you two have some wierd dress ups thing happening when i'm not around? ;):ninja::P:spank:

I fail to see the problem........................ ???? :D

Nah, I can see it now, crnr of Pultney st / Rundle St, Friday evening, Paul in his batman suit (I assume he already owns one, but you dont have to tell us that Miss_N!) with a sign on his back saying "My Wife Made Me Do It"

Hell, Id pay to see that (one way to recoup fuel costs?). Think we should have a Poll on the subject matter.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
