So its finally gone, swapping it for a 4wd. Now before you all bag me its something ive wanted to do for a while, bought myself a cheap jackaroo a while ago and have enjoyed it so much i wanted something newer and better and this deal came through i couldn't refuse it. My house still isnt finished which i was going to use the funds for but the bank might be helping there.

Its been fun owning the stagea, there such an awesome and underated car, i had alot of problems at first but once all sorted the car hasnt let me down, performance and practicality in the best way, which i feel isn't matched anywhere else.

One day i might find myself back in one.

Will still be coming back to this section as i have made some good friends in here!

Go the Stagea's!

I am amazed at your fortitude. You had such bad luck with the original car and did a mammoth job building the new one. You would be entitled to have a poor opinion of Stageas so I am glad to hear you would consider another in the future. Good luck with whatever you are driving - you deserve a break from car troubles!

Brenden just rang me, He cant go through with the swap :cool:

Not his fault, his parents arnt to keen on him getting a fast car, which is fair enough, the folks are the last people you want to upset.

So its back on the market...

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
