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.

You guys would need the datalogit more to fine tune, the handcontrols arent complex enough for what you need..

Will be good to see what sort of power your making Nick :banana: Never seen a stagea on the rollers

lol you don't want to see what my stagea makes at the wheels right nowm a mighty 111 4wkw at 5.5psi w00t.

Mark has datalogit but this looks like a wiring problem to resolve first. but that's probably enough about our problems it should be sorted by then

sounds like fun. ill definately think about this. ill be winning outright lowest power :P lol

If there was a prize for lowest power I'd so take my Subaru instead of the Skyline!

100kWs.... yea... at the engine :ermm:

So I'm guessing about... 60-70kWs at the wheels... the front ones that is! :D

Stock EJ22 catagory? :P

haha awesome. i had mine dynoes ages ago at 101.6kw atw. now with highflow cat and a major service with sparkplugs ill be fair and say 105 lol. the old sparkies were in shocking condition

Went and picked my car up yesterday from gettin some work done and a tune...

$$,$$$ later...

I really wanna enter it in dyno day but i don't have a licence at the moment... can't get there...

wtf???? 1000hp????

I'll drive it there.

I'm serious.

I will try my best to get to this one, will be good to see what the monster gets at 4 wheels, sexiest most pwoerful stock turbo'd 33 GTR in the world!!!!!!

Hey my bro in-law wants to bring his commonwhore along, and his mate with a 355 stroker and show us skyline owners what they to compensate for, is that okay? or do i tell them to just rack off! i don't mind really, no really i will tell them!

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
