so you know what im refering to well im in NZ and mine went through compliance and warrants etc and i still got it its fn awsome , full controll over my exhaust sound level

and ye it is a factory some stageas came with a few little extras :nyaanyaa:

lol factory is as it came out of the 'factory'

Nissan dealers added the 'options' when sold to a customer. so its not factory - its an optional extra. trust me, the factory exhaust is a peice of shit. lol

I got schooled about this difference between factory/option when i said my remote start was factory.

2.25 towards the end of the exhaust should make a difference to power shouldnt it? in saying your doing the rest of the exhaust 3"

any way its good just want the exhaust from there forwards to be a nice tuned straight pipe

yeh so is my remote start. i got them to pull the battery and remote of the keys when compliance.

I wish i had one of these adjustable doo hickies! wouldve been awsome.

my car sound like a thunderstoorrmm,

Theres a power difference between 'Silent' and 'Sport' modes; I would say this difference would be present whether you had 2" straight through to the muffler or 3" to the muffler.

what exhaust are you running

and so you recon 3 inch or 2.5 all the way thru is best for the stagea ?

on another note spoke to R.I.P.S (NZ local skyline experts )

after asking them for some custom work they said using my car for R+D they could make bolt on performance turbo kits , incl plenum, piping ,intercooler , throttle body , manifolds and turbo for the stagea

:worship::banana:

im guna look into the idea of not havn the wagon for a while

but the heated(expanded air molecules) at the turbo dump, would be much hotter than the colder(compressed air molecules).

Wouldnt this mean that once the air is cooled down enough, the 2.25" should be an ok size right.

a 3 inch the whole way would be better. airflow = power.

finding a turbo that fits is going to fit will be a bitch. nothing else fits for us - but may well work with new manifolds(we would be interested in gated manifolds to fit)

theres a HDI FMIC kit already available, which is proving a win for most of us.

and our throttle bodies are pretty big stock!

Try and get em to do a manual 4wd conversion kit! thats something we NEED

fortunatly i got my compliance and warrants with the switch still active and yes it is a silence / power switch

but the heated(expanded air molecules) at the turbo dump, would be much hotter than the colder(compressed air molecules).

if you got the cash just buy the factory parts from the manual stagea , i know you get one or if you google the boys from jun built a 350z 4wd using the m35 stagea drivline and all the bits etc im prety sure a vq30 manual box can be moded to suit the vq25det then just need a pedal kit

well, thats good!

it can be adapted to an apexi ECV (search ebay, about $200-200 delivered) where the cable comes out of the boot area. try not to destroy things when removing tho.

#$#$ awsome that means i can get a after market exhaust and get this , perfect get my load sound with th eoption of silencing

weird tho this unit sits up by the coverter where as mine is actually inside -part of the rear muffler

any way good find :worship:

as mine had compliance with a ECV on it i can get a aftermarcket one :thumbsup::nyaanyaa:

Yep, ok...

Have they seen the placement of the turbo? Not that I wouldn't mind a RIPS manifold but seriously, they have enough work to last them a century, why would they want to tool up for the VQ? Not even getting started on the tuning...

I questioned rob about and if he had any experiance with doing up stageas and he said "shit loads mate"

then i said but wait its the new one with the vq25det and he went a bit quite then said "well nissan are moving away from the straight 6 platform to all using vq and vh engines so i might as well start working them"

i sad well ill bring my car down and he said " i could look at doing a full turbo kit but wil take sum time to get everything right and tuned etc "

but he is really keen to have a look

he said he can start with the easy stuf like manifold plenum etc

maybe give him the list of what we have done first and the result's we are getting then let him have a good old think. Plenum manifold would be nice though depending on the design!

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
