Gotta say the model info table looks rather familiar. I seem to remember contributing it in Wikipedia.

Glad somebody found a use for it. I took a lot more time on the Series 2 table though.

The whole thing is shaping up well. Kudos to you, Luke

Luke, I can scan and email/PM you the factory stats/specs pages I've got from my HyperRev catalogues here, if you want them. It might make it a bit easier to distinguish the specs on C34 s1 and s2, and the M35.

Love the idea.

One thing I tried to get with the AstraMk2 forum, where I have my Opel Kadett race car... is to make sections where the info is entered by the submitter but not commented on in an open forum.

I find it hugely frustrating that info is formed into DIY sections on forums... but in the end you have to dig 20 pages deep to find the info.

I think if someone goes to the trouble to formulate a DIY info section then allow him to present it and keep it closed to comments... but allowing people to PM extra info or suggestions.

This will allow people to search and find info easier and if done right will be a first.. I have not seen a site yet that has good controle over the info presentation that makes it easy to find amungst all the crap and comments.

Just a thought.

Problem with that Luke is if all you want is accolades..... well you will never find out how it can be better!

Thanks John,

I should have said "Constructive criticism welcome" I know this forum is mature enough to provide that, so if anyone has something to add please offer it up! I am definitely not in this for the accolades...

Conservative Criticism.....

The site seems VERY SLOW to load, and you have mis-spelled aspirated.

The speed I can only attribute to the cheap hosting, the header image is 36kb so it's not huge. I might switch to another host when the site is complete and has some Ad Words on there to cover the cost.

Designers are bad spellers (well I am) so please feel free to proof read!

Love the table idea for the specs very easy to see. It would be better if the "proper" model code was in there though, ie 20X, 20G, 25TXFour etc. It's a little misleading as is.

Yeah, need to get this spot on and have been offered some good resources already, I think we will get this right.

Keep up the work..... remember photos need to be small for quick loading. The header seemed to take forever!! (actually about 3 mins). I am using firefox, windows XP, and ADSL.

For sure, again I think your connection to the host was less than ideal, the fact that others didn't see the same issue seems to back that up too.

Can't wait to see the S2 Stuff. I have some spreadsheets of the S2 model specs and options.

Happy to email them if you want.

That would be great, I really only want "complete" info if possible, otherwise it will take me too long to get it all correct...

happy to contribute what i can, photos etc. gonna have a forum?

Thanks Ryan,

As mentioned I think the forum is covered here and I don't see any need to duplicate or dilute what is working well here. Links to some other forums could be a good inclusion though, I know there is a UK based site that has a Stagea forum section - although much smaller than SAU's

Image gallery could be great, probably just looking at 3 shots per car to keep things under control for a start. Front 3/4, Rear 3/4 and then any interesting aspect you might light to display.

Thanks ステージ,

You are spot on! Thanks for the SII info, I'll have a look at that.

That would be great thanks Nick,

A concise and consistent set of model specs would be perfect, from what I have found, comparing specs is a little tricky as they are often formatted differently and can become a little confusing.

Love the idea.

This was definitely one of the original objectives of the site,

Getting the DIY's organised and cleaned up, I will need the original authors permission to use those posted on SAU in any form, so if anyone wants to give me permission and possible clean up their DIY, with any of the extra contributions that may have been added in the thread that would be cool?

Some of these DIY's are a little organic and continue to develop with experience and further investigation but it would be good to include the simpler and more defined articles.

Thanks for all of the input so far, looking forward to progressing with the site.

if you guys can organise content on nissanstagea.com using a CMS system of some sort, I might be able to tie it in with stageasaustralia.com as a feed, and have the SAU subsection as the forum on the site, so from the outside it looks like a dedicated site, but in reality its composed of smaller parts from other sites.

Nice Idea Shan,

I am a designer and not a programmer, do you have any suggestions for a simple, free, CMS solution? Also one that would work the way you need it too?

Cheers

Luke

atm the hot free CMS is Joomla... people are migrating from mambo to it. integrating joomla shouldn't be an issue, its what I do at work with our own in house CMS software.

Luke, I should be able to scan those pics of the Spec sheets in the next few days, what format(s) would you like me to send them to you in?

BTW, see the link in the bottom of Shan's signature? I suggest everyone go and buy a HyperRev catalogue from him - even though I can't read Japanese, I've found it useflu for seeing what's available out there, and scanning it has given me a few good ideas.

Thanks Shan, sounds familiar, I will have a look at it.

Nick, Jpeg would be fine for the scans, I'll just be pulling the info so as long as it is legible that should do the trick.

Cheers

Luke

  • 2 weeks later...

Nick, I've been thinking of translating the stuff in the HyperRev mags for ages... just never got the time... one of these days I'll put it into electronic form.

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
