Ah so they managed to make the exhaust work? So proud of my boys :D

I heard there can be issues with PFC + Stagea but not sure what exactly, maybe thats why wiring was sent. Anyway I will inform him that you must have it purrrfect for D Day to avoid being shamed by a safety car.

Ciao!

Hahaha, a "Safety Car" like this one, right Duncan?

I'm waiting to see how you go with Duncan's R34 PFC so I can get mine installed too. I hope it turns out to be as easy as deciphering a few small issues with different triggers being on certain pins compared to the R33 PFC.

I've decided I'll show up for this :P. Put it on a dyno in October so I'm interested to see how different it could be. Hopefully I'll still get around the 145rwkWs I got then :P. I'm told its not bad for complete stock, except for my fully sick rims which add 500kWs to the fuel pump :laugh:

I think its just a stagea problem Liz there is some wierd wiring in the early ones.

Mark has a couple of good tools to work with PFCs, the offical apexi stuff, datalogit etc and a dyno of course. If he can't sort it out give up :)

There's a few things to overcome with the Stageas, Liz:

  • We're trying to use R34 PFC's on s2 R33 engines, Liz, which is where one of the issues is.
  • The s1 Stagea ECU, even though it *probably and most likely* runs an R33 program, has an R34 plug, which is problem two.
  • There seems to be a few different parameters run on different pins between R33 and R34.
  • The Stageas have AWD, and in that regard they're the only RB25-engined Nissans to use a turbo motor and AWD together (whether it's the R33 or R34 Neo).
  • Even the s2 Stagea, with the R34's Neo motor, needs mods to the PFC wiring to sort out issues with traction control and the engine light staying on.

That list is the stuff that I'm aware of so far, so who knows what else will pop up.

It HAS been done (I think Millenium Motorsport in Qld were amongst the first in Australia, but they were and maybe still are unwilling to share the information), so there's no reason why Duncan and I won't eventually be able to have s1 Stageas with the R34 PFC - it's just a matter of time and having all the correct information together to make it all happen.

Back on topic, I'm still keen for a run on the dyno, even with the standard ECU still in my car.

I wasn't arguing btw.. i was just interested to know.

I'm going to give them a call.. if they can work out that, I'm sure they can help me

Yeah, I know that! :banana: I just figured I'd let you know what the deal was. I wish it was a lot easier, that's for sure!

I agree, if they can work that out (and here's hoping - fingers crossed) then yours shouldn't be a problem either.

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
