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.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
