No offense to all who love Pulsars.. I used to drive one, nice car, but it's no Stagea.

not naming name, but if he reads he know's who he is ....

a guy near me sold his S1 stagea ....then found a n15 VZR pulsar (3door ones)

but then again it aint no ordinary pulsar

Hi Guys,

I just got news that a fellow M35 owner had his car on the same dyno I will be using for the ecu mapping...he too was after a tune due to excessive fuel consumption...reeled off 135 AWKW, I'll find out more details later today. The car was with standard exhaust but surprisingly was running 1.1bar of boost!!! Surely this isnt standard boost on Stagea :) ....any comments on what others have experienced or checked what boost levels they're running.

BTW I mixed it up with the Bavarian contingency over a Xmas drive/lunch to Mudgee via a pitstop to Mt Panorama......The boys in their Kraut machines now have total respect for the Samurai Shaggin Wagon as it gave a few of them the Royal Flyby :( .....Like all of you watching this thread; I'M NOW GETTING A LITTLE TOEY ABOUT GETTING THIS THING TUNED & SORTED....None the less the AXIS was the topic of conversation throughout lunch...

May have to wait till the New Year to unleash the true potential of the VQ25DET!!!

Cheer

Was the M35 before you an AR-x?

Strange, but the stock boost for an RS Four is 10.8psi (mine was at this number before the exhaust - 0.8bar).

The guys that have AR-x's have said that they show ~15psi stock!

I'll speak with the guys and find out what it was ....looks like we'll just have to organise a dyno day stricktly for VQ25DET's to get some stats on power & boost levels from stock to modified and see the differences from all the variants. AXIS, AR-X, RS Four etc....

I would be interested in the dyno day

Mine was measured at 150kw atw - standard car but hi flow cat, hi flow airfilter, + hi flow exhaust.

measured at 15 psi boost across the range, running very rich

Hey Michael!

Good to bump into you now and again on the road, i'll flash you next time as well :(

More of you Sydney boys (and girls?) should come along to our regular Thursday night meet-ups.

Tony "NRVOUS" (as well as Craig "Jetwreck" and Andy "andy65b" amongst the M35 crew) can vouch that it's a good run along the Old Pac, and if you choose to follow us all the way up to Erina on the Central Coast, there's a good group of people to hang around with and minimal problems with the Authorities if you all behave yourselves!

Tony, did any of the Bavarian-driving crew get any tyres to actuallly squeal this time around? >_<

boost on the ARX seems to be 14-15psi max and it goes back to about 12psi at 5000rpm.

Looking forward to the Dyno shoot out and that new ECU tuning.

I had the throttle position switch reset last week and the butterfly cleaned and the car is a little more responsive but a little thirstier. LOL if that is possible.

Working on getting the Legalis Exhaust when I can.

Cheers

Andy

Well looks like there's some consistency on a stock cars with many reporting anywhere from 130-140awkw, the boost does spike to 1bar but drops off according to the tuner that dynoed a blue Stagea vq25det...he didnt take notice of what variant the car was, but did say that the spike in boost didnt make more power. overall it dialled in 135AWKW

He's been running some bench testing on the programming and he's getting pretty close...he's also promised me a little xmas surprise,...PROJECT VSPEC II will be finally gift wrapped on Christmas Day after 12months of waiting, hopefully while I'm running in the 94 R32 Vspec II during the Xmas break, he'll call me up to lock in the Stag for some intensive Brain surgery...Fingers Crossed, A fully Loaded AXIS & VSPEC II is my kinda Xmas.....Now all thats needed is a quick call to the Reserve Bank for a helping hand :)

Guys would love to join you on Thursday but will have to misss this week.....maybe the 18th could be a goer for me

Cheers

Have I got the wrong person?

Gold M35 Stagea?

Maybe its MXFLY

Michael,

Are you driving other peoples cars without them knowing....LOL :)

For any of you Northern Beaches/ North Shore guys we should arrange a catchup one Sunday or Saturday.

I wish Santa would drop something good in my Car Stocking.....

Michael it was my car you drove from Ben's shop :)

I'll be keen to meetup with the Stag boys as well, i'll see if i can make it this week, if not next week will be better for me, thanks for the invite GoldZilla :)

And Tony, that's a very nice V-Spec II you have there, very jealous :D:)

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
