when i park in a driveway above 25 -30 deg. angle nose first it has trouble starting

and when i park at a 45 deg. angle nose first (steep driveway) it wont even start.

it'll kick over but the engine wont catch

but when i let it roll onto the even road it starts straight away :)

i'm thinking it's the fuel pump..........................mabye?

I park my stagea on a hill (not that steep, like 10-15 degrees, and I can never have it below or near a quarter full as it will not start cos fuel doesnt reach pump.

So yeah, quite likely something quirky about the fuel pump setup from those whisky drinking Nissan factory techs.... Apparently they musnt have to park on hills in Japan.

I have a similar issue, but not identical: I have noticed that whenever I park the car nose down my (steep) driveway, it takes about 60-90 secs before the (Power FC equipped) car wil stabilise the idle, as opposed to the 20-30 secs it takes when the car is parked on the flat. It hasn't really been a huge issue, just annoying. Not sure if this helps, but it may point toward a general design flaw in the Stagea, rather than a specific troublesome component. For the record, I have replaced the fuel pump, lines, rail and injectors with new items in the process of modifying it, so I can pretty safely assume it's not an issue with the fuel system, as it runs faultlessly in any other way... Not sure if that sheds any light, but that's my 2 cents' worth.

never park a stagea on a passenger side angle with less than 1/4 tank( steep gutter etc), car no go :D

yep i had the same problem with mine, fuel pickup must be on drivers side so it cant get fuel when parked on passenger side angle. its happened to me many times as i have a steep driveway, ive learnt now to park my car face up. i Know its a pain in the butt. the only way round it would be to install a surge tank with extra fuel pump feeding it....

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
