I have never been in anything with a turbo in it before let alone owned one...

Is this a normal level of boost... and how do i read the gauge like as in PSI.

This is a 2001 M35 Stagea

Here a couple of vids

First one is taking of from about 10kmh flat stick to about 85-100kmh

vid 1

The second is me cruising at about 80kmh and giving her a quick jab at the end...

Thanks

We were discussing this in another thread just recently, do a search. I think the readout on the one you have is +1 Bar (14PSI), which is as high as you should run a ceramic setup if you want it to last.

Has nice pickup, something is definatly modded I reckon, my RS doesn't pick-up that well.

Has it got an aftermarket piggyback? If not I don't see what they are going to tune unless you are seeking someone to remap the factory ecu.

The turbo could be fine but so far 2 or more have lost turbo's, the ceramic one's just don't last forever.

How would the guy you brought it off know, they do little things here and there in Japan before they get here, who know's what goodies it's got :)

I just need a good mechanic that knows stageas to service it all for me.

The guy I use at the moment has never worked on one in his life::.

I'm sure someone here from QLD will advise you of a workshop familiar with M35's.

It's definatly the way to go though, if you are going to get someone else to service it etc. make sure you use someone who know's these cars.

I had my last service done by Hornsby Nissan.

Not for a stock RS. The needle should have stopped at just before the "+1" (+0.8).

"pickup" seems about right for the stock unit though.

actually 1 bar is 14.5psi :)

Yes. Yes it is.

I stole the .5, so sue me!

Afterall, what good is a halfy!

I was going to say half a bar but we talking PSI now, spoil sports :banana:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
