Hi all - looking forward to being on board wav.gif

My name is Dave (Wile7 after my caterham7 forays) and based in Bucks in the UK although I grew up in Australia and Hong Kong thumbsup.gif

I am wanting to buy a 4 door Skyline or Stagea (undecided which yet) because I need a family wagon that tours well (mainly to southern France where SWMBO family is) but can also deliver the goods when I am alone wink.gif

I have owned Legacy's and a VR4 in the past so am looking to Nissan that I have also had experience of before (favourably with a primera Egt saloon). I am lucky to have a Caterham for the full on stuff but, as I say, which one to go for - Stagea or GT-X Turbo.....I have now driven both but want to look at a stagea 2 with the tiptronic and NEO engine.

Any thoughts from the gurus on here?

Many thanks in advance for any advice offered.

Dave

Hi Dave

I am also new :blink:

I have just purchased a s2 stagea rs4s , I have 2 kids and all the associated stuff that comes with said two kids and the nissan is doing a fine job i must say .

As far as a 4 door, it will do the job (as u know) but you run out of room without even trying . I had a toyota jzx90 mkii b4 the stag and with just a few mods

it was a lot faster than the stag but thats not the reason i got the nissan .(i am in the middle of a locost 7 build so that is the car that will entertain me)

I say if you liked the way the stag drove go for it they are a very nice car . If you want it a bit more sporty go for the manual .

Thanks for that RS4S. Which Locost build/spec are you doing? I still have my ford engined caterham supersprint (1996). Love it! The Stagea souns just the ticket though - just need to find one :cool: ......

Hi Dave

I am building a Formula Motorsport Chassis ( wider and longer ) with a 2ltr ford zetec , mx5 box , skyline live axle .

it will take a few years as i am doing the lot myself . (sometimes i think i must be crazy)

Good luck with finding the Stagea and if you have pic of the caterham i would love to see it.

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Light should be a pressure switch, not a sensor.

      By Duncan · Posted

      The pressure light likely has a different sender to a pressure gauge, its been too long for me to remember for sure. Just have a look for another sender down near the oil filter. If you are confident in your rewired pressure sender reading correctly, you can be pretty sure it is just the dash light's sender failing, it is a pretty common thing.

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan · Posted

      That is a series 1 front end (grill, bumper, headlights). I'm not sure if you are trying to confirm if your whole car is series 1 or just the headlights, but the build date and vin# on the plaque in the engine bay would be the best reference for what it was when it left the factory (noting a lot may have changed over the years)
