Hello Ladies and Gentlemen

Im Eddie, the new owner of a 1999 nissan stagea rs-four in silver, it is my first

turbo car, my first AWD car and my first wagon, and i absolutely love it.

I first paid a deposit on the car in december last year and a painfull 7 month

wait for importing and complience really tested my patience, but now that its

here it feels like it's worth the wait.

The car is stock as a rock for now, the only thing ive done so far was get a

mongoose alarm installed and am in desperate need of a new headunit as the

stock example apears to have gone past it's used by date.

It apears to have all of the options ticked that are spoken about in the buyers

guide and has only done 37.000 k's, it is simply immaculate.

I look forward to coming to the next meet, the site has been very helpfull with

information and i will be sticking around, i will get some pic's up soon.

7 month import process? Seems a bit long.

If its your first import be aware that the odo reading is probably way off. Its not that hard to wind them back and while Jap cars do a few less km's per year than aussie ones, its usually 10 000 km's per year as opposed to 25-30 000 km's per year.

Other than that, welcome.

Now.

Congrats! I was in your shoes not so long ago, (first turbo car, AWD etc etc) and its been great. You won't have any regrets with your purchase. 37000kms in 8 years is very little... do the maths but that might be wound back even. It about 88kms per week. Want to be careful because the timing belt is due at 100000kms service.

Welcome, welcome, welcome.....

Congrats on the purchase & dam you got some patience. Even that would have tested me & I got more than most.

Enjoy your new toy, be sure to check out the FAQ section, the guys & gals have put together quite a comprehensive library.

thank you for your welcome's and yes the car was a test vehicle for the complience workshop,

i am just glad i had another car at the time, that made it a little bit easyer.

I am aware that the car could be clocked back but if it is it's not by much as the car is prestine,

nothing is worn, no panels have been replaced etc, the private vehicle tester said that he had

never come across such a clean example of stagea.

I have used used the faq section and it has answered many questions, this is an excelent site.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
