It Shoots Flames

[Burns]

I took my Stag for it's first good drive after geting it back from the workshop with the manual in and im getting huge orange flashes on gear changes when giving it a bit of a thrash.

I better not tow a load of hay.

I had my old 33 shooting HUGE flames when I had a 3inch pipe. That is right I didnt have and exhaust and a muffler, it was a 3inch pipe with a bit of sheetmetal welded around the back to look like a muffler, was awesome, from 2nd to 3rd or 3rd to 4th, just let of the trottle and take an extra second or two on the change and BAM!

vidsorban of stagea flamage!!

Dump pipe, front pipe, no cat, little hot dog muffler then canon Apexi rear muffler with removable silencer in place.

Still running the stock auto ecu but with an Apexi SAFCII that needs a tune to lean it out a bit more.

It pops and farts on engine braking as well. It feels so much more powerful with the manual.

I will have a go at getting some pics but it could be a bit tricky.

What did the manual conversion end up setting you back?

Revzone do the labour?

Chris, must come to the Vic meetup/cruise Sunday, we would all love to check out your car

[Burns]

Yep Revzone did the work so they know hot to do it all now. I had a few issues with some late and missing parts from Nissan so it’s not finished yet, just at a level that is drivable. The hand brake isn’t mounted, no boot on the gear leaver so I have a hole in the floor etc.
