Finnaly got to drive the new stag yesterday after two months and im spewing it took so long for me to get one. they are soooo cool. its smashed every expectation i had of the car from the pics i saw of it. and im still finding gadgets everywhere. the first time i sank the right foot in shocked me. it got up and moved quiet alot quicker than i thought. so happy, but now i do have an unhealthy obssesion with not closing the boot properly jsut so it closes itself haha. :banana:

dont worry i do that too!! then people ask if im going to lock it.......

Yep, me too :P

Then when they see it pull itself shut, they always say "ooh, niiiiice". - yes I know, Stephen, could be taken as dirty, but I refuse to change it!

I've had mine 3+ years and every time I see Mrs 66 drive away I think to myself "thats a nice looking car" LOL

Yeah, had mine for 2+ years but I have only thought that twice... Once when my wife drove it shopping and once when we moved and my Dad was following the truck I was driving... other than that, I think it to myself almost every time I leave or approach it.

I had a quarantine check inspector have a hell of a time with the tailgate in our S1 - he 1/2 closed it, then opened it when it was self closing, then tried to close it when the motor was still running.

I ended up suggesting that I could close it for him so he could move on to the car behind us

:down:

They are a top piece of kit, and welcome to the family!

welcome!!

Yes the self-closing boot is such a cool feature. Its so handy when you have your hands full and you can just get your hand on the boot to pull it down. You just let it fall gently against the car without having to try to slam it when you're carrying too much stuff.

The other tricks I like is the levers either side in the boot to fold down the rear seats, so if you're loading something big into the boot you dont need to go round to each side and fold the seats down first.

I'm disappointed the M35 doesn't have the extra cig lighter in the boot, although admittedly I never used it in the s2. Just would be handy if you want to carry one of those waeco fridges in the boot or something.

The s1/s2's also have a removeable mat under the boot - but mine was missing this.

So many gadgets :thumbsup:

this might be going off topic but seeing as we are talking about features.... Does everyone elses S2 do this ?

Lock your car with your remote key, then unlock it again (let's say you accidently bumped the unlock button putting keys in pocket). In 30seconds, it locks itself again. It senses none of the doors have been opened within that time and decides it was a false unlock.

Now is this part of my clifford alarm or a standard stagea feature ?

most alarms do this, and also the factory immobiliser (whatever it may be) should do this too. its not just a nissan thing, my honda did it, the scoob, the fiat does it too. its just a security feature incase you bump the remote

I reckon that's an alarm feature. Mine never did that, but with the aftermarket alarm, the immobiliser comes on if the key hasn't been put into the ignition after approx 30secs when you remote unlock/disarm it.

The M35 is self-locking (most annoying feature ever) but the s2 is not. Must be a feature of your alarm. Read your alarm manual, I've had alarms that do this but its usually possible to disable the feature.

I've yet to read the V35 manual through to see if its possible to disable the auto-locking on the M35. There is also obviously some combination of doors opening that will prevent it from locking again, but I haven't yet worked out exactly what it is yet...just seems to lock sometimes but not others...

Glad to see I'm not the only freak....once swapped cars with my wife on a drive just so I could see it moving...lol....she only got it for 5 minutes though....then I had to have MY PRECIOUS back!!!!

The synchro switch locks on the awd to give 50/50 front/ rear drive when you start off. At higher speeds the computer takes over again and sends most drive to the rear except when the rear starts to lose traction.

hahah if you unlock the car, and dont open any door, it will lock itself again. open a door and it wont re-lock. easy!

nope. if I unlock the car, open the driver or front passenger door and close it, it will still re-lock. even with the boot open it will still re-lock. Its only been things like when all 4 doors open and close then say one opens again and stays open that it wont lock again - something like that. Like I said, its more complex than just leaving a door open, and I've yet to work it out.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
