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

2 weeks ago

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!!

M35_2.JPG

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.

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
