sooooo do we need just one more person for this to go ahead?

Pretty sure we're good to go with 4 people. Jap rails are getting sent down in the next couple of days, and ccubed are organising individual invoices. Darrinspencer will have more details shortly... :P Hanging out to have a complete car again!

No stress mate, we are always too busy

Sorry to kill your possible sale

After waiting 13 months to get these made, the quality was shit.

They were suppose to take 6-8 weeks to get made!

Have a look when this thread originally started!!!

The guy was well capiable, recently making all the carbon work for Handbrake's mega R35 GTR build, but managed to totally give us a crap job and charge us for poor service.

I have had to fully bog the entire length to get them flat

Will be in primer either this weekend or next

They are not good enough to just paint and fit.

Any of you guys tried to use the existing plates with some fibreglass mods to bolt them down and clean them up in the sections where the racks went through them?

Ive got a spare pair of rails i'm thinking of trying this with. Should cost much (like $20 in fibreglass and resin). I'm just assuming there is a reason it hasn't been tried yet

I did have a original plan of fully covering the entire roof strip in 1 or 2 layers of fibreglass, then bog and sand and paint.

The problem with the roof strips they are covered in a rubber/plastic coat over s/steel metal.

Too hard to remove the coating, plus the front end is approx 4-5cm long of solid plastic, not metal.

Still worth a try.

Pics of the fibreglass ones we bought

This was last weekend. Now both sanded and getting undercoated this weekend

Does anyone have a picture of how the roof is bonded to the chassis?

I'm having my Stag re-sprayed in a few months time & the paint shop says it's dinted to hell & may be better to replace entire roof. I would love to find a dual sunroof car & convert mine.

3 quotes I've had so far range from $6600 to $9000 for full job including fitting this kit (supplied by me) http://www.freeway-dolphin.co.jp/aeroform/stagea/nissan_stagea_c34-wh.htm

Thanks.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By feartherb26 · Posted

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
