hey guys took my stagea to the drags today and best run was a [email protected] and also did a run at 124.3mph, had clutch slipping issues and misfiring on most of the runs, not an ideal day but im pretty happy with times considering the car is full weight (1700kg) and on street tyres.

can anyone tell me whats the fastest times for stageas besides this? i know one in japan is running 10s (or even 9s i think), but outside japan i only know of RBNT doing 11.9 and one in NZ doing 11.7 or 11.8.

i dont have any vids of the runs as no one brought a video camera down :nyaanyaa:

Whoa!

What modifications are we talking??? Obviously, RB26, worked, big fuel/boost/turbos etc. Do tell! Very impressive effort... Finally a Stag in Aust is taken down the Qtr! Which track? What boost? Post up your slip if you have it! Love to see your 60ft and half track times...

Congrats! I'd say you've got more to come, esp. if you can drop ur weight and risk some semi's or slicks. 10's on the way I'd say!

mod list is built rb26 , t04z, etc, making 560rwhp on 18psi on pump fuel, motor has gone over 600hp on 22psi on pump before, so plenty left in the motor, should go 650rwhp on race fuel and thats the turbo maxed out, motor can go alot further than that with bigger turbo.

this is the run details..

reaction time 0.655

60ft 1.701

330ft 4.868

660ft 7.359

660ft speed 158.75kmh

1000ft 9.507

e.t. 11.339

terminal speed 123.28mph (198.39kmh)

i was on shitty dunlop 235/17 rubber so traction was a big issue in 1st and 2nd and as i said clutch was playing up and that was pretty much the only decent run i did.

I think it could go abit quicker as is, and if i strip 100kg out (seats and back carpet etc weighs that much) and get some traction i think a 10 is possible when its running right.

next time i go back i need an ANDRA license, tailshaft loop, 4 point harness and battery isolator switch because i ran under 11.99

WOW a big congratulations Brad. Well done. Had it on the road for long?

Pics of the Stag would be good.

thanks, its been on and off the road for 3 years now lol, had a cracked block and melted pistons on seperate occassions so luck isnt on my side :nyaanyaa:

it just looks stock nuthin special at all, havent touched the exterior since i got it, but plan on some visual upgrades soon (wheels and possible gonna go r34 gtr front as well)

this is a recent pic...

lol yes sleeper is the way i like it, the strutineering bloke was like "WTF" when i opened the bonnet, he loved it and had heaps of interest with the car all day from people wondering why it was so quick :nyaanyaa:

I would say to them "See that (points to turbo) thats why its quick"

it just looks stock nuthin special at all, havent touched the exterior since i got it, but plan on some visual upgrades soon (wheels and possible gonna go r34 gtr front as well)

Thats what makes it special, stockish looking car totally owning the other riced up cars where it counts; performance.

I followed Brad for a while @ the last Stagea day out. When he plants his foot the thing barks like a wolf hound with its balls kicked in! A mate tried to give him a go on his Ducatti but was left with nothing but a helmet full of 'catch if you can performance smoke'! I love the rear exhaust... doesn't look that big but man does it sing! Should have seen the faces on bystanders as it did so too!

Awesome car Brad! And I too love that it is a sleeper.

Noticed my Stag has same size rear axle as friends R33 GTR V-Spec, so that put a smile on my face! Someone told me series 2 manual has same back end (drive train) as GTR??? Perhaps the rear diff is different? What did you smash?

Anyway, hoping you smash that 10 second mark! You have certainly inspired me to give our one a little more power.

nice work mate...dont do a 10 though...it takes all the fun out of it. Not if you want to keep racing it...Budget $6000+ to get the car tech'd (racesuits, cages, harnesses, $350+ a year for a race licence, belhousing shields, tailshaft loops, battery cutoffs, expensive helmet etc).

if i had my time again id build an 11.00 GTR with full interior and a stock looking engine that i could drive to and from the track.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
