Hi all

My Stagea has arrived in Adelaide complied and ready to go - putting it through regency this Wednesday.

I'm sure Pawley and I will have lots of questions in the near future, but look forward to meeting more Stagea owners in the future.

What a tuff car though!!! I am really impressed now that I have one in the flesh.

Mel

:huh:

Nice car!!

I've also recently bought one ('99 S2) - I live in Adelaide but bought it from a dealer on the Gold Coast.

Looks very similar to yours (white) but doesn't have the grey strip round the sides and back. That grey strip actually looks pretty cool.

Good luck with it - and enjoy - they're an awesome car!!!

Congrats, Mel!

Good to hear you're happy with the purchase, and you'll see it only gets better as you notice all the little detail things in the car that make the ownership experience great. Stuff like the little storage compartments and the extra cigarette lighter socket in the boot, the fold-down seats with the handy handles(!), multi-adjustable driver's seat, reclining rear seats, etc.

Did yours come optioned with the luggage blind and net, and self-closing boot?

Hi Mel,

great car perfect for the growing family and import lover

you'll be pleased to know your old baby (R32) has had alot of attention lavished on it.

we just recently had the car dyno'd after replacing the box and making a few other adjustments and the car is putting out quite some impressive power now

Enjoy your new car, as I love mine

Hi Krissy - didn't know you had a stagea as well! Gee we must have the same taste in cars!!!

Glad to hear my old girl is doing well, I do miss that car immensly, what figures did it pull if you don't mind me asking? The most I got out of it was 178rwkw running at standard boost but with the intercooler and exhaust.

sorry forgot to reply to the rest

The exhaust had to be replaced from the cat bak as it was full of carbon and the cat was blocked,restricting the flow. We also put a 25 box in. We retarded the ignition timing put my old boost guage on and bleed 10psi into it and it pulled 203rwkw on the dyno (272hp). Were planning for later on down the track upgrading to an aftermarket computer, but for the time being were happy with it.

Don't worry she's in good hands..

Good luck with your stagea

top choice in car

203 really! that's awesome! had no idea there was any problem with the exaust let alone the fact that the cat was blocked that's not good - glad you found it looks like it was causing some serious restrictions. I had the boost up for about a month when i first bought the car and it loved it!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
