The Stagea has a new, bigger smile ...

Cooling Pro delta fin core yo!

:D

Took a whole afternoon to do it. Purchased the mandrel bends from Aussie Discount Mufflers and cut and welded it all up myself. Total of $69 in materials and a wee bit of my time.

Needed a new cooler to match the new bar. End result = one happy stag owner :P

Pulling it all apart this weekend to paint the piping. No leaks ... happy I can still weld.

Looks nice, but perhaps you should move the number plate to allow all that air to pass through to cool the fins?

Yeah and get the fully sic lets go skidding s13 look. thumbs down. Dont think the number plate is actually going to make a massive difference to roo's airflow.

Looks good ruby. Think its time we organised another cruise. adam and I were in the shed till 2am this morning doing the turbos on his 260. Im so glad i have a 25 now lol , so much more space to platy with!

The plate looks good imo where it is now ... and its some 130mm from the mesh and 150mm from the cooler, so its not interrupting the flow. And in any case, its far more flow than the last cooler :P

Chris, yeah another stagea cruise would be awesome. I've got the SAU SA meeting thing this weekend and Kadina after that. Perhaps an end June cruise, or anywhere in between :huh:

good stuff

yeah mount the number plate like mine with a simple bracket

just got a metal intake pipe kit and a proper fmic pipe kit (battery feed), so getting them installed this thursday at dynotune

along with a oil catch can setup

just awaiting delivery of seat rails to tidy up the fitment of my new racing seat

some people move it to the side, which is what S13/S14/S15 drivers SOMETIMES do.........

Its also what the VL commonwhore and some R31 drivers do, to give that fully hectik "I don't have a fmic ... hell, I don't even have turbo ... but I wanna appear that way" look :dry:

yup see my sig ^^^ was there for around 2yrs

prefer the current position tbh

Tangles, you still got those driving lights? :D

Are they oem items? I traded mine off and regret it now ... looking for replacements. ;)

looks good roo,fills out your viva bar nicely.me and fr33k just spent the last 2 mornings doing my fmic.got it cheap,apparently its a capa performance? cooler,bought it from the dude doing aleks dump pipe the other day.same side inlet and outlet,we couldnt quite get it in the middle of the bar so we just moved the plate over to hide that fact.came out alright i think,seen as we just used piping that was left over for other cars and projects

Looks good Rodney. Keeping it polished like I am? My last fmic was lightly sprayed satin black to keep it discreet. But this time I've gone for the polished look ... and blue mesh :)

Next big mod for me is the manual conversion for the car. Shopping around for GTR gearboxes now.

manual hay roo.... Im tossing up doing it aswell... Will you do it at home yourself?

Yeah. Buy the box and conversion stuff (pedals etc) and do the work myself in my workshop. Then take it to a transmission place and just have them check it all over. :)

Hey hey. nice car man, looking good. I was just wondering; what intercooler is that, and how much for purchase/installation?if you dont mind me asking. im just getting a vague idea of prices etc..

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
