Hi all,

Well, my car is STILL i9n the body shop, being made rust-free and all pretty again...

I had left instructions to remove the sports racks, but we are having issues: the base plates are unable to be fibreglassed/filled satisfactorily, so it looks like I'll need a set of those plugs/blanking plates that some of you guys have told me about in the past.

There were a lot of people talking about having them available a while ago, but nothing seemed to come of it. So, I ask again, does anyone know where I can get a set? Alternatively, (however unlikely), does anyone who has a smooth roof want to swap for rails??

I assume the guys based in Japan will have a better idea where to find what I'm looking for, but any help would be appreciated!

Cheers,

Micah

spotted some on yahoo jp the other day... try slidewise in the body trim search. could have been there...

gota post some pics when they're off! im still not sure about getting rid of mine... dunno how it'll look

D.

If you want, Micah, I can have a quick look in my HyperRev catalogues to see who makes them. It might make it easier to narrow down your search... I'm pretty sure they're made by Dolphin Aeroform, though.

im just getting the racks removed, the holes in the rails are having pieces plastic welded in place then filler to smooth, then colour coded to the car. Rackless.

Bases are stainless, not plastic: that's the issue: it's too thin to weld plates in....

Goldzilla, that would be great, Cheers!

I've had a quick scan through the HyperRev magazines I have here, and it seems there are quite a few cars with the rail replacement covers on them, but I can't figure out if they're all the same covers from one place, or each garage/supplier has their own sets made up.

I'll go through them again later and list all of the ones that had them on their cars.

BTW, I highly recommend that all Stagea owners get a set of these magazines for themselves - they're almost completely written in Japanese, but there are plenty of ideas you can get just from the pictures.

funkymonkey should still have some for sale - he ones you want for the Stagea are volumes 38 and 67.

Have these two. They are used but there are no stains on them. Near new. Great for reference for parts

Will do them at half funky's price plus post

Can someone post up some pics of a 'rackless' series 1 Stagea. I have never seen one and am thinking of doing this.

Will Selley's No More Gaps work? LOL

I only have some R34 fronted stagea pic's with no rails

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
