without tune its costs massive on fuel

the way to describe the turbo whine is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

i have a tiptrinic and i find it likes to shift to 4th and just slip winding boost to 5psi under slow or slight uphill applications, hoding gear in 2nd or 3rd sees at the same revs a locked trans and 10 - 20 inches of Hg - no boost

invest in an exhaust to hear your motor (not rediculously loud) and a boost guage because boost = cash

still tiptronic is fairly quick and easy to use, normally although sluggish responds quickly and shifts without jolts etc.

i'm looking to get a nistune but i see no point w/o electronic boost, dump, front mount, cold air, fuel pump until then its rather pointless as you cant milk the gains as much

but the stagea does not have a fuel economy figure - it has a fuel CONSUMPTION!

still a great car and one of the nicest things to drive, tows brilliantly, safe as, sounds fansastic with exhaust, heaps of room

even in stock trim its brilliant

ahh i was wondering what that extra wear was from....thanks carl :P

Thats why Commonwhore drivers, when they don't have passengers, place their upper torso over the centre console ... to even the weight distribution, so their fuel lasts longer and tyres last longer for those one peggers. :D

Hey i have had my stagea for over a year now. I have an auto, no mods and i use it as my daily drive from aldinga to glenelg and i get 520 to a tank. When i was driving from aldinga to the hub every day i was getting 550-570. I don't drive it hard but i still have a bit of fun. I love my stagea and i have owned a 33 before but totally wouldn't go back. I do have some rust under my mirrors but that is about it.

i never wanted something that had been modified.. as for price it has to be the cleanest low km stagea i've looked at in adleaide for that price. and in the flesh it is immaculate.. buying another modified car didn't interest me, been down that road before and your basically driving some body elses creation. all mods i want to do myself that way it's all mine.

That is a good price for a tidy stag. Right priced :)

Sounds like you're sold. Hurry up and get it then, so you can come on a stag cruise. :D

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
