Hi all,

Just in time for Christmas, here's a pic of the Stagea I bought today at Auction.

After selling the R33 4 months ago......i had to get something with more room. Think this should serve me and the missus well. :)

Can't wait to drive it in the new year! ;)

:rofl:

Edit. Larger pics added

If you can, ask compliance shop to keep your XENON HID bulbs and not cut the bulb harness in side the lights, which they probably will do...so you can reinstall them after compliance. Just went through the process of getting them back to original, not an easy job.

Yeah would like to keep them.....already onto a guy in Gold Coast for compliance....seems not to bad to deal with. No harm in asking

Howdy all....back finally after moving house and getting internet back on. Car on the road after a very enduring import process!! Car arrived bout 6 weeks ago and has been on the road for about a week and a half now.

Had to sort out a few irritating problems the Compliance workshop had given me, rear boot light was always on and self closing motor was nearly burning out due to this problem. When i picked up the car, the guy who done the work said that he had noticed this happening but did not know why????(did not do it b4 workshop got to it) So I drove off and delt with it for about a day. Eventually found the problem...they had fitted the child restraint bolts through the harness leading to the interior light grounding it out. NOT HAPPY!! Not easy to get to the wiring to solder a link into the harness let me tell you. Also loose plugs leading to the front headlights ,my exhaust hitting the gearbox and oversized tires scrubbing the guards not really satisfactory workmanship from this place in question.

Not wanting to name names...this Gold Coast compliance shop should take a bit more time and care with working on our cars as we pay good money for them to do a proper job.

My rant over I feel much better!! Here's a couple of more pics.....car runs really good and happier now that I've fixed up all the problems. Learnt more about this car in a week than I ever did with my old 33 in 3 years.

Will take a few more pics and add them as I go.....hope there's a Stagea cruise soon to come along too!!

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
