No, not at all, its just that Cy is a dodgy bastard that sells unsafe cars to unsuspecting people all the time.

LOL!

Nah, really, it gets in the way of the clutch pedal if you leave it there.

I'd change it if doing the conversion myself, as Dale said the auto brake pedal would be in the way when you push the clutch in.

Mine's been converted to manual (before I bought it) and it has the manual brake pedal in it.

<crys> Seriously though, why the hell wouldnt you want a proper hand brake instead of that shitty foot one?

Make me proud bernard, she deserves it!

whats the difference one you use your foot, the other with your hand, just curious as everyone has their own opinion, cheers guys. doing the conversion

over the next month, getting the parts needed together

well....about 800 for all of the parts from Nissan is the only reliable way to get them. all part numbers are in the manual conversion thread.

they come up on yahoo japan second hand sometimes but they are just too expensive you might as well buy new

cheers duncan thanks for your help, much appreciated. at least your helpin out where as yokotas13 is just being a dip! "yeah fully sick lets go drift the stagea" mad one knob swab, my car is a cruiser, im not gunna fark with it to drift, it too nice a car, yokatas13 grow a brain, not everyone is into slammin cars and looking like tools, if the car scene was like that i wouldnt be into it. :laughing-smiley-014:

Ahhh, dude, calm down.

I dont think he was being a dick, just simply making a remark. So, he wants to slide a Stagea, who cares. You are being the hater here, not him.

All motorsport should be respected in any form, a drifting or a sliding wagon. Doesnt matter if its not your style, its someone elses.

But honestly, from me to you, what the hell was the point of making this thread? Have you even had a look under your dash at your pedals. You might then notice that the brake pedal sits up close to the steering console on one side and then on the other side sits.... the foot brake. How would you fit a pedal in there? You cant. Who the hell wants 4 pedals any way, there is absolutely no logic to that.

Anyway, all the best with the conversion.

im calm mate, funny how people cant tell what expression people are leaving when you write in text.

i dont care if he slides the stagea, good luck to him and it would look mad. im not hating on anybody, his post was innappropriate, didn't answer my question, and i respect other peoples opinions and styles, and no i have had no chance to have a closer inspection as i dont see my car from day to day. cheers for the help though, and cheers for the luck. :P

Hey Grant have u done any drifting in your stagea yet? i want to see some footage of stageas drifting (besides the 1jz one on youtube), i'd love to give it a go when my engine is finished for a laugh and see how it goes. I got the power and rock hard suspension so should be alright, and people reckon long wheelbase cars are easier to slide and control :rolleyes:

bleh

i have to reset timing (advanced too far think i might just take it one tooth back on teh CAS hehe)

finsih brake ducts

install gauges

etc etc before i take it to the track

it does however do well on the mountains bwahaha

but no, no footage yet

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
