I think after 18 months of floating on this forum it is time to show you all my pride and joy.

It's a 99 rs-four, i imported it stock standard with 37.000 k's and a 4.5 rating at the auction in japan,

I absolutely love this car and wouldn't want anything elese, even though it gives me headaches...

So far i have done the following:

Apexi Pod Filter

Alpine Head unit

Smoked Nismo indicators

R34 GTT 17’’ rims

Pioneer amp, sub, splits

NGK iridium plugs

Defi red racer boost gauge

Tein s-tech springs

Bilstein shocks

Gates radiator hoses

Hid xenon head lights

Apart from that i am still waiting for my fujitsubo legalis R to come from japan at the end of the month, and going to put in a gfb plumb back bov

I think thats all, im still forever chasing either a dayz or 260rs front bar and dayz rear lip, allso plan on R34 GTR rims and R33 GTR front seats soon.

Enjoy, let me know what you think.

Another awesome Sydney-based Stagea that's missing out on our Thursday night fun! Eddie, get yourself to our regular weekly cruises up the coast, please!!!

Oh yeah, I love the little parking-assist antenna on our front bumper, too.

whats the arieal ? is that yours ? or it come with it ..

* see Goldzilla's post *

It is there to give the driver a better idea of where the passenger side corner of the car is.

Very helpful at times. :(

Yep, it's a parking assist thing. My cousin has one on his R33 4-door, but his one actually has a switch inside the car so he can extend or retract it, kinda like an electric antenna for the stereo. I'm not sure if Eddie's one does that too, can't tell from the photos.

No my one does not retract, it's fixed, but it does have a stagea badge in the top bubble and is ilumintated with a white led light at night

it did come with the car, it is a factory option.

haha my bad, i just red godzilla's post before i read the post to tell me to read your post, which i should of dont before i put my post ....... >_<

anywho good idea !

im looking for a place to put my UHF arial, might kill two birds with one stone with its location there

Here is a couple of pics of my stag, I have just had it tuned and it is pulling 203kw at all 4 wheels and 360nm :)

Can see you have the stealth fmic and you did cut the centre brace,very nice work :P ,i'm scare of doing that

now :( stupid hovercraft stock wheels - with my good car in the background :P

IMGP1939.jpg

Very nicce ,massive wheels...

my stag with one of the work trucks, the truck is nicer to work on but not very nice to drive!!!

massive wheels too ,what are they 50" ;) ,careful where you park :( maybe somebody can hit the mirror of your truck...

stock wheels, suspension and exhaust. They were on loan and I was going to buy them but the dude changed his mind.

plus, driving it to darwin in 2 weeks, coilovers are a bit bouncey for dirt roads

and they were only 18x9s, i dont think they looked big enough anyway

Me got new shoes yesterday for the M35.

ARX rims fill the guards and look great on RX models!!

That looks great! :D Drop it an inch and it will be damn near perfect.

Cheers

Andy

i rekon andy! wanna sell me your suspension?? :D

Silhouette31, M35 RS and RX models DONT have the black 'beard' only the ARX had it. some ARXs that i have seen had the black bits painted the body colour and they look a lot cleaner - no offence to the people that have 'black beard' models!!

the AXIS always has the flares body coloured from what i have seen.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
