Talking about braided brake lines. I went into PIRTEK, who are a major sponsor of motor sport, only to be told that they are not certified to do brake hoses. I thought that very odd. This is inBrisvegas.

Anyone out there know where to get braided lines here, not only for Stageas, but also S13 and 180s?

PS Hope I havn't double posted this.lol

hey darrin im waiting for the tutorial on putting a r34 gtr front on the mighty stagea :whistling:

whats the cost worked out all up for you? and do u still plan on making a mould of the masa gaurds or are you not bothering?

Brad

I have spoken to MFX in Sydney about doing a copy of the guards

I have got them to pay for freight from Brisbane to Sydney and return and copy the guards all for free

They would be the final owner of the moulds

From speaking to them on the phone, they sound like they take care and know what they are doing

Even thou the Masa front guards quailty is as good as fibreglass panels get. MFX want to make a quick mould and make a new set of guards and then would need to trial fit to a car before making the final moulds. So they would need a donor vehicle in Sydney to do this.

I better sort this out next week, otherwise Imight get delayed.

cost so far

Masa guards $1100, S/hand genuine bonnet $650 and front bar $1000, headlights $550, R34 GTT bonnet hinges and rod $50. Still need to get new from Nissan all the front brackets and reo for the front bar which is approx $1000.

I had a quick look and took a few measurements the other day of the Stagea radiator support, and thought I might get away from not having to change it to a R34 one. This would save approx $350 plus fitting.

The cars goes next week to get complied. Once I get it back, I will start the conversion before I get it registered. I still not have driven the car yet

I see the lack of any truely "new" stagea related topics recently.

There was once a time that I read/reply every topic, but these days, i reply in maybe 30% of them.

Bring back the glory of the suspension/brakes/SITC/transmission/attessa threads :laugh:

Yes... I am just killing time :whistling:

Um... my fog lights flash as my forward facing indicators now! How's that? and I have a set of driving lights (that come with the front bar) back in the lower bumper where the comp shop shoved the standard indicators...

Cheers

ill post a dyno video maybe as tune is booked for late next week and i just wont show the power figures for the other knobs that i dont want to see it.

Post it in here, I'll keep the thread clean :(

Now I am bored, should I go and start a new thread for no reason and then close it myself stating that we already have had 2 threads of this nature in this section............?

Nahh that would require effort.............

You could create a new user name, then you could create 250 threads asking "Who do I take my car in to for a tune?" (or similar), just like happens every week in the NSW section.

And then you could sign in as your regular log-in, and say "Why don't you do a search instead of just posting the usual questions..."

so THATS what you ended up doing... pretty clever idea, hey.

Ill soon be starting a pictorial thread on CIY fibreglass modifications on bodykits IE duplicating the exhaust outlet to create dual outlets, as well as modifying the front bar - again. Still not happy with it. Will be adding a moulded bracket to relocate the number plate to the side, as well as adding 34GTR style rectangle inlets in the centre below teh grille.

Will be good, showing how to patch up fibreglass bumpers for when you hit a brick or curb or something.

that would be handy. Anybody know how to do a dry carbon parts?

www.topstage.com.au does fibre parts.

the difference between dry and wet CF is big in price but very similar in terms of weight. I dont think the 100% price increase of dry fibre is worth the 20% weight saving.

Saying that, dry fibre looks 10x tougher than wet fibre which has been overused lately with ricers etc :P

we need some manual console surrounds made up i reckon, i might have a go at a fibreglass one and paint it very soon just to see how it looks, i cant dare spend $750 on visual mods, its against my religion :P

$750 is half the money for a new intercooler or an ATI harmonic balancer :D

Nah If I get reeeaaaaaaallly bored I'll pick on everyone here and just give out random warning points/bans for nothing really, oh hang on a sec then I'd be banned myself, hmmmmm that doesnt sound very funny at all..............

Ah! "THE STAGEA OWNERS BANNED" We could cut a Demo CD and maybe win the "Battle of the Banneds"

lollollol all the way to the bank. Which Bank?

Now that is REAL Trivia. Or Drivea ?

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
