Hi, just thought i would post this question here too since to see if i can get some answers from stagea owners

Check out this thread:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Di...gi-t238927.html

I dont want to go the standard tack on gauge pod in the stagea since:

1. i want to keep the dash simple

2. the usual DIN slot where people put gauges isnt really suitable

3. i dont really want a gauge pod, for appearance, and as not to draw attention

Do you have a Boost controller?

sorry the only reason i ask is because they will give you your boost guage aswell. I had mine installed in the glove box and its fairly neat and tucked away. if i want to see what is going on i just drop the glove box down and move aside the paperwork i have over it. but then again you will still need your presure line and a few wires to your solenoid. ill take a pic later and post i up for ya.

no, no boost controller as yet. im holding off an electronic boost controller system for the moment because of money and insurance. but i will experiment with the boost solenoid piping, and so a gauge is a must.

even EBCs leave you with the problem of the display being right out of sight, down near the DIN slots or ash tray. id like something small in my heads-up field of view

Google turned up heaps of digital pressure gauges but they are around $400 - $500 and that's without a remote sender unit!!

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
