Hi Guys,

Just wanted to show off some nice pics that were taken of my car today.

Big thanks to my brother Chris for taking the shots. To see more cool pics visit his site www.chrisbennyimaging.com

Here is a shot of the Stagea when I got it last month:

And here it is now:

That looks awesome, what rims are they? What else have you done since you have had it?

They are Axis Hiro rims. 18x8.5

So far I havent done much, just the wheels, split dump/front, metal cat and filter. (it already had a cat back)

I will eventually get front mount, high flow and SAFC. I want about 200kw @ the wheels, but that will have to wait seeing as i blew all my cash on the new wheels!

Thats a frieken awesome carpark for photography hey.

Your tyres are as shiny as your paint!! Awesome photos of a very tidy car, mate. In the first pic it actually looks as though your paint had a greenish tinge to it, but guess it may have just been from the grass.....??

Lookz very niice ...

mate u mentioned getting a hi-flow ..ive done it and if i was gonna go down the same path again upgrading the turbo i would spend a lil extra and get a much better turbo, something like a GT30 (as recommended by cruiseliner) ... especaillly if your chasing some respectible performance figures. This of course will mean there will be a few other things that will require modifying but overall you will have a much better package :P

Congratz on the beast tho mate!!! :)

Your bro can photograph my car anytime, mate. Considering all youve done is throw on a set of (very nice) rims, and it sits lower than stock, maybe? Thats one of the nicest stageas ive seen in a while hey. Not that i see a lot.

haha yeah he is very good! and Stageas are beautiful things... :)

Yeah at the moment, its only rims, suspension and exhaust.

Once I have done a few more things to the car we will get some real beauty shots of it!

    • 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.
