i sold my stagea on monday and have been depressed ever since. a nice 65 year old guy took it off my hands .funny thing was he knew more about stageas then most of the people i know .kind of has me buggered why a old guy would want a 290 awk stagea and is going to take it to the next level and get it tune to its full potential of mid 300 s at all 4 wheels . make me laugh that a older guy is more of a hoon then i was . it was running 23 pound and would smoke all 4 wheels easy as it was yet he still wanting more power . but it was sad to see it go it brought a tear to my eyes but time to move on . thanks to all those guys who helped me out when i was stuck .your info was really helpful .cheers bernard

Hiya,

You'll probably feel like this for 2 reasons...

i) the car you sold him was still in great condition and

ii) you haven't got another car that's anywhere near the performance of your last one.

On the issue of age, hehe

I turn 60 in 2 months time.

Pls remember that the buyer of your precious Stagea and I are both younger than Jim Richards = 67. Different perspective isn't it?

All the best with your next car. Or to pay off mortgage/house. I came back into performance cars after being a family man > but now, an empty nester.

My perspective? I don't know why people get bogged down by autos and sloppy cornerers so early in life!!! hehe

Tez

I let my Autech go about 3 weeks ago. It was pretty sad but I never got the time to drive it so there was no point having it.

Ive replaced it with a beautiful Aus delivered R32 GTR which can sit in the shed.

You'll like the JZX100: I had mine for about 7 months: it was a decent car - 260hp@wheels, so it was only mild... I did think the build quality was significantly better than my Stagea, and RWD was a nice refreshing change! Plus the 1J sounds awesome with a decent exhaust attached... You'll have a ball!

I sold my s2 stagea last year, mainly for cost reasons plus i didn't have the money for the mods it needed to make it a really nice car.

However, I ended up getting a payrise and a few months later I'd ordered another stagea from japan. (m35 this time, was originally looking for a s2 but this one came up cheap).

That kind of tells the story. But then I've been a nissan import fan since I bought my first car (1991 silvia)...

I have a VT commodore on big wheels and new suspension and about $5k cash and im trying desperately to get back into a stagea. Just an RSfour this time.

Selling the 260 was a good move financially tho - house and etc etc.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
