Spoke to Nick(aka GoldZilla) on this last night....I am thinking we will extend the invite out to the C34's and others as we are all part of the same family of Volvo drivers! :D

P.S. Not that they were not invited in the first place!

Edited by Jetwreck

lol so

jetwreck pm me wat time u got in mindan well go from there :D

Just waiting on final list from Nick. Plus I want to give the c34's a chance to hook up....but I would say it will happen in the next week or so.

I am leaning towards a Sunday arvo though....say 4PM...then at least we get sunset, no traffic and it can hide all my paint imperfections...lol.

Danny, do you mind if I change the thread title to "NSW Stagea owners" to generate a bit more interest?

Can't support that idea

M35s are a totally different beast

I would support a separate M35 forum

We can't use the same mods

We can't use the same suspension

We have totally different cars

I fear you've misunderstood Nick's comment!

Nick is referring to changing the Topic of this particular thread as it is a general Stagea meet, not just M35's.

I read this as being for M35

There is already a general get together on Thursday nights

Yep, when you say that the Thursday night meets are a general meet, that's EXACTLY what it is, a general meet for anyone who wants to attend. In fact, it's not even an exclusively Skyline meet, and until recently when Xmetal, CL11QE, zei20l, Bis-e Bee, Jetwreck and andy65b (and a few others) occasionally started to show up, I was the ONLY Stagea there...

Correct me if I'm wrong, Danny, but the whole intention of this meet was to gather Stagea drivers together for a chat and a put-faces-to-screennames style gathering. His intention might have initially been to gather M35 drivers together to compare cars and discuss mods, but I don't think he meant it to be totally exclusive of C34 drivers.

I think I know where you're coming from too, Michael, but Stageas are rare enough that we should ALL be able to gather together and share experiences, even with the differences between models. I wouldn't try to exclude M35 drivers from anything I'd organise, Jetwreck and I discussed this the other night and he feels the same (although he likes to stir the pot :P), and I know that at least one C34 driver feels as though there is some "rivalry" between the M35 drivers and C34 drivers, and he doesn't like it...

That's pretty sad.

Yes the C34 & M35 are quite different, but we are all from the same family.

I don't think that a separate forum for M35's is necessary. Possibly separate sticky for mods and such but that's about it.

What about 260RS owners? They share bugger all in common with "standard" C34's (body notwithstanding).

At least most M35 threads are labeled as such.

    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.  
    • Welcome Adam. Car looks great!
    • "With a 1.5-WAY, the LSD is effective only during acceleration."
    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
