Hi guys, :thumbsup:

I was approached by a friend to buy a Stagea Rear Strut Brace. If anybody else wants 1 please let me know. As it was his idea I gave him the choice as to which 1 to buy, He has gone with 'Greddy'.

Pictures attached,

This is not a stagea strut brace I just wanted to show what they look like.

Price is $250 delivered, These are Brand New. Delivery would be around 5 working days.

Please fell free to ask any questions.

I recently fitted a rear strut brace to my car, which has the full SK works on it: The rear brace was the most dramatic improvement in handling so far: it feels massively more stable and sure of itself... I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone with a Stagea...

For the record, I have absolutely no association at all with Jin Man: we have never met or spoken: I am just an enormously impressed stag owner with a rear strut brace :wacko:

how do u find the compromise of space in the rear? kinda defeats having a wagon if u got a metal bar across the back

I don't really notice it, to be honest... I had to work around it when I picked up the 2 toilets for the house, but other than that, most stuff fits underneath: I can still carry the mower, etc...

That said, My car is being promoted to weekend-only duties, so will no longer be carrying any loads, so in my opinion, it's more than worth it. The handling is sublime :wub:

not so much as a limited time but a limited amount. 5 got a discount so 5 have been ordered. Once they are sold that will be it. 2 paid for, 3 left. :)

Have a look at the Syline strut brace fitted to this Stagea:

No idea how its bolted on.

:P I think they might have actually drilled holes in the side of the tower and bolted it on the side. Wonder if the holes stretched over time?

fair enough, any chance you could hold one 'til this thursday?

D.

:) Done

Would love to see some photos of these actual ones installed in the back of a stag :)

Agreed. If I could just see a pic of how it would look, I'd be interested in one.

:happy:

Kind of defeats the purpose in a way. It would work far better on the strut tops!

Plus wouldn't drilling holes in the body owrk be a big no-no defect? Not to mention loss of rear space.

I guess thats a good reason why not to try and make a skyline 1 fit. :)

Hopefully when the first people receive theirs they will generous enough to show pics.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
