hahahahahahah!

10% of the population - almost 23% of the stageas

WA FTW!!!!!!11!!!!!

Newbie,

Tamborine has a population of 4,000, and we have TWO Stageas.

At about 150 for 20 million our effort works out at, shit you figure it out.

Tambo Rules as the Stagea capital of Australia.

Welcome aboard, Anthony. Where abouts are you located?

thanks mate,im located in concord [inner west] sydney.i love this forum..ill get a bit of time soon and get to a couple of easy mods like the boost bridge,it will be nice to see how much better the thing will go at constant boost from get go.ill let you know how i go.it goes to show how much we miss out on thanks to those tuff import restrictions when these rs4 were released.it would be nice to know why they held this back from getting imported to our local nissan dealers back in 1997?they are a great package,very impressed.well done Nissan.id love to take the gtr version for a rap. :cool:

Concord, too easy!

I'm just past Parra. Smack bang in the middle of Parra and Blacktown, actually.

I hope you'll be bringing your new beast and displaying it at the Show and Shine in just over two week's time... :thumbsup:

I've just joined the stagea ranks today! :)

Pearl white , leather sat-nav auto etc..

BTW anyone know how to fiddle with the satnav and TV to get them working?

Only hours into it and the solenoid boost mod is done and K&N panel filter is in.

Next up split dump & front pipe.

Ahh I could kick myself. That boost mod makes soooooo much difference in the stagea, much more than I ever noticed it in the gtst. Its a must-do for everyone with standard boost.

Sorry to be noobish, what boost mod are we talking here?

boost mod is to cut the black wire on the boost control solenoid and earth the part of that wire coming from the solenoid to the body. The connector part going back to the ecu remains cut.

Normally you have only 4psi of boost before 4500rpm, then it goes to 7psi. Using this mod gives you the full 7psi at all times.

I just worked out that the satnav requires a japanese only CDROM for maps and the tv is ntsc...doh!

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
