Yudy, if you are picking the car up next Thursday id LOVE to go for a drive in the 260RS just to see how it goes compared to my previous stagea.

Still not 100% decided against buying a 260RS myself.

Let me know on MSN or call me 0439 909 610. Id have to see when I have uni that day too.

Cheers

Alex not this coming thurday but i think the next one iftheres no more delays/ let me know. I will be thers on fridau probably to drop off the oils for my car. let ma know.

Yudy,

Also I am sure the fuel tank in the Stagea is different to the GTR so the filter is different and the sump on the stagea is different which brad has mentioned Before during his GTR engine conversion so the oil filter probably is different and if they require genuine parts this may be added cost.

ok the sump on stagea rs fours, and gtr's and 260rs's are all the same identical part. oil filter is normal gtr size and same for a rb25 if i remember correctly (z145a is part no. on rb26, whats the rb25???)

so they are both same parts as gtr's and rs4's so no additional costs are needed over these other models.

hope it helps

Brad

BTW should i get my car detailsed and thoroughly washed by the detailer since its been at the see for 2 mths and sombody saud something they used a corrosice disinfectant to sterilixe the car.

Ctuise thats exactly what i mean. but anyway main priority is to get the car out.

Correct, Brad, the oil filter on the RB25s is also the Z-145a.

err guys wjpse part number is that Z-145a? is it nissan or ryco or wat?

Z-145A is a Ryco number. The easiest way to get the correct Nissan part (if your dealer has no idea what a Stagea is - most of them don't), is ask for one to suit an R31 Skyline.

ok thanks cruise!! I wonder how you know all this part numbers?!

cause im nissans best customer hahaha, ive got a couple of old oil filter boxes in my garage from my run in oil changes i been doing so i just went outside and grabbed it to get the no. i didnt have it stored in my head its abit of a big number to remember :)

i have spent more time in the past 12 months under/in/on my stagea than i sleep, that i could name a spanner size for almost any bolt on that entire car (dunno if thats a good thing or a bad thing though haha :banana: )

Yea cruise probaly the car now is your mistress now ;) . Well its good at least you got a thing that you really like doing and enjoying the moment now. At least you got the knowledge and the experience. As for me im totally a newbie. I can change oilds, radiator fluid, brake pads( i think). Changing fan belts but othere than that im totally dumbfound.

HMMM!! probably i should carnapped your car :D . HAHAH!!! just kidding buddy.

hahah, i have a timing belt change down to about a 30 min job which most workshops charge a fortune for, its something ive done about 5 times in a row from front cam seals leaking so i know what bolt sizes every single thing is hehe. engines been in and out minimum 5-6 times and gearbox seriously in and out 15 times atleast from sorting out clutch issues. i think i remove the engine like people do oil changes hehe.

ive almost given up on that car sooo many times but all the money and time ive spent i want to feel and see the end result before some other lucky bugger gets it for half of what its worth :D

and sorry to get offtopic mate, good luck with the 260rs i wish i had bought one instead of doing the conversion stuff around :D

thanks bud. Yea the reason why i bought the 260rs is i dont need to do much to it/ you know like conversion and stuff like that. ALthough i might be very tempted to get a whole new engine block though. Replacing the current one with weither A rb26Z2 which is tuned bt Nismo or by HKS or HRD. But i like to keep the specs original though. Plus labor costs are CRAZY!! now. Im sure you guys know about it. From economical point of view buying RS4s then upgrading it to a Rb26 actually costs more than a 260rs if you take into calculations of your time spent on it and the loss time(therefore loss of income).

But then again it all comes down to the amount of cash at hand when you buy the car. I used every single resources that i can get (not financing) to get the 260rs. Not trying to be smart ass but thats the way i was thought in my econ class.

Hope fully the car will come out from the compliance place w/o any hassles. I blew the budget by at least $500 at tleast at the moment. Im just waiting from my insurer to confirm wheter the current alarm system on the car is sufficient for them. If not i have to get a new set of oz alram system with immobilise installed. THis will cost me rougly $350 installed by the compliance.

Wish me luck man :D

thats a bonus for sure, so is late next week if all goes to plan the pick up week?

yea probably next week if i can to pick it up on thursday after lunch. then i will have timme to get it rego then into racepace for full body check up ;) And i just found out that all my parts have arrived from Japan except for my nismo echaust :dry:

    • 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.
