Mine is a dirty ho too. :P

I was trying to organise a Stagea Dyno day, dont want it too big but that would make a great Melbourne meet... Have to see if the owner is interested yet.

awesome, sounds good - maybe once the weather gets a bit fairer - although they have said it will be a wet spring, which is fvcked - so over winter.

and no fun at all for you with a black car!! i'm loving white already, so easy to keep clean, just pulled into the car wash this morning - $1 in the high pressure washer, sprayed off the dirt and its back to new!!

A couple of quick snaps I took a few months back.

looking good mate

whats the specs on the front mount? its pretty much exactly what i'm looking for

have to hack up the front bar/reo much?

Hey, thanks!

Cooler is abit of a custom item. If you look at the where the Inlet and Outlet is there's a weld separating them them. When I first purchased the cooler I got it home and had a closer look. it was more or less a Single tank. I figured Air will flow the route with the least amount of resistance, therefore rendering the core useless. So we removed the tank and cut it in half and welded in a plate that would divide the tank into 2x. Pressure tested and all.

Only down side to this design is when used on Big HP Applications there is almost guaranteed Boost Drop as the air would be cooled twice. No worries for a nimble Stagea :)

Reo copped the usual chop. As I mounted the cooler as low as possible to allow as much air exposure as possible. But I did a neat job with enough room to run a piece of Vac Hose along it to prevent any such rubbing. Also managed to retain all the Under Body plastics.

But mine is only a little turbo, its only the fuel... I seem to remember you at one of the RE days talking about ecu's and turbo's. Arent you interested anymore?

Funny, as an M35 owner I used to look up to you c34 guys in awe at the power you could make with a quick chip and tune, after a lot of hard work I got there eventually. Now I want to help all the other guys...

i might have to get you to help me out over summer, its one of the many things that is on the shopping list when i get back

yeh got the nistune done but nothing else atm lack of funds next fmic then look into high flow turbo its a slow process but will happen

The family runner, finally got to take some pics.

not many mods, but have replaced the exhaust with a blitz system,

meisters, new ebc and some other stuff.

It took us to exmouth and back to perth nicely. [sans the ol manifold studs snapping]

has the RS steering wheel, and the whole family LOVES IT!

Currently on tein lowered springs, does need moar low tho. :(

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
