Welcome aboard, Charlie, Gerard and "BUT Y." :P

A Sydney cruise will be in the making fairly soon, we're waiting until the weather warms up a bit. Right now, it's great for the cars, but once you stop for a chat and/or some photos, the weather bites - I'm a skinny mo-fo, so I feel the cold straight away!

Xmetal and I have discussed putting something together (although we welcome all ideas and suggestions from anyone and everyone), and it will likely include a photoshoot...

Jap AV head unit (what am I going to do with that?)

Hey Luke, I plug the ipod into the front 3.5mm AV sockets for Music videos while cruising. :banana:

Just took a bit of soldering to make up a lead (3.5mm combined vid and sound to two seperate 3.5 mm plugs for sound and video)

Couldn't find a pre made one anywhere

Hi guys. Just joined not long ago. I am driving around in a 2003 M35 Pearl white Stagea RS Four Autech with 20inch wheels, dark windows, lowered with a 3inch exhaust system. I have to say its the best value for money car I have ever had. Also the fuel economy is impressive.

**confused**

ive not seen a 2003 M35 RS four Autech, can you post a pic to help explain?

I will get a pic up soon. It has a different front bar and a rear spoiler and an Autech badge on the boot. I am not sure on the different models yet but I am learning slowly.

just picked mine up last friday

silver 96 series1 rs4-v

stock as stock at the moment, but need a couple of things fixed before i go upgrading things- drivers side mirror fold-in motor needs sorting out, stock speakers sound like they're busted (oh damn, looks a like a stereo upgrade :D ). I love the look of it as is - no badges on it anywhere apart from the RSfour badge on the front grill. All i'm looking at changing for the moment is the exhaust, intake, possibly an FMIC, but we'll see :rofl:

We just bought ours, '97 S1 RS Four Dayz. Nismo springs/shocks, Nismo full exhaust, HKS turbo actuator, M's pod, decent Jap-spec Sony upgrade stereo (although getting a bit slow to load tracks, may upgrade), Splitfires, twin sunroofs, S2 style steering wheel, cloth interior, clear rear indicators. Lovely car really.

congrats floody, looks very tidy, turbo should enjoy that lovely hobart weather( looks like hbt & mt wellington in the background). a few stageas getting around tassie now.

Nice one, Dave! Welcome to the Stagea community, and the SkylinesAustralia in general!

Where are you located?

thanks mate :huh:

i'm in perth, WA. see a fair few driving around now, but its still amazing that one of the first things out of everyones mouth when i show it off is "gee's that looks like a volvo!"

just gotta get used to the auto box now (my first ever auto) :)

Hey all just flew to Newcastle a couple of weeks ago to pick up my new stagea

its a 99 series 2 Rsfour s 5 speed manual

just over 102 000kms now ( newcastle to Cairns is fair way... :) )

mods are cat back 3' exhaust and some gammon mini disc stereo..... gees what a mistake mini disc was lol, but yer luckily the old jap radio goes into my fm transmitter freq. for my ipod lol

Upcoming mods are

100 000km service ( hey, its gotta be done lol)

Full 3" quad tailpipe exhaust

Turbo timer fitted (sitting in my car right now)

Dual stage boost controller

18 R-34Gtr rims (hopefully, or something similar)

some suspension components ie sway bars, maybe some stiffer springs and maybe just a touch lower

and a black FMIC (to keep the sleeper look) everyone in cairns sorta looks at it and goes...."What the..????" lol i Love it

I currently own a R32GTR but have recently acquired a Autech 260RS. Its still in Japan awaiting shipment - I cant wait!

Here's the only pics I have.

Its a 97 model, apparently its had a fair amount of work done to it as far as engine mods go. LOL all I've been told is its quick :(

Aftermarket Front mount, exhaust, steering wheel ....

Also I've got a second Stagea, just an RS four that I bought for its immaculate black leather interior, electric seats and trim that I'll be transferring over to the 260RS when it arrives.

Then I'll sell the RS four. Also got a set of R34GTR rims in the garage ready for its arrival.

Hey fellas,

Just picked up a series one stag from a dude off this forum, got it pretty cheap.

Have been in some pretty scarey cars but this is my first import and dont know too much about em.

Any way here it is a S1 97 Stagea RSfour Dayz Edition 93 000kms, stock as a rock.

Seems very clean and have had it for about 2 months or so, I have some big plans for it in the future..

Hi guys

I'm new to the SAU forums, but if you're on the Southern Skylines Forum then you have heard my spiel before...

My name's Andrew, I work as a techie at the University of Otago in Dunedin, NZ. I have been keen on Stageas since I was about 13 and I've had a S1 25X since February this year:

Since I don't own a real camera, I took most of the pics on a Sony Ericsson Camera phone. That's why they are a bit noisy/grainy. I borrowed my Sister's camera to take the first one, though. All these pics were taken at random times throughout the year, so the car is in a varying state of cleanliness :P

My ICE is currently the factory speakers, mated to a ForYou DVU706 'multimedia reciever' for playing DVDs and reading mp3 files from an SD card, plus a Kenwood MZ-907 (for standard CDs, and that oh, so strange tech-fetish, the minidisc). Mechanically the car is stock, but I put an airhorn in because I thought the original horn sounded awful. To each their own I suppose.

Well, that's me :P

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
