I fitted a Boost gauge to my stag at work tonight. drove home, standard solenoid standard turbo - 10 psi. strange. now i just gotta try and work out why it's running so much boost, either a faulty gauge or it has an rb20det boost solenoid fitted.

I fitted a Boost gauge to my stag at work tonight. drove home, standard solenoid standard turbo - 10 psi. strange. now i just gotta try and work out why it's running so much boost, either a faulty gauge or it has an rb20det boost solenoid fitted.

i grounded out the solenoid via a switch so i can run low or high boost which happens to be about 5-7 for low and 10 for high

i also have an electronic boost gauge and would happily swap it for a normal one

where did you guys take the boost reference from? mine is plugged into the drivers side rear of the intake manifold right next to the brake booster piping. might try putting a t- piece into the boost sensor hose and see if it reads different.

very surprised it didn't fit - every skyline brake bit I've put on mine bolted straight on....I've run gtr front and rear brakes on it now?

what was the problem, did the adapter hit on something? Either way Im sure UAS will refund.

Hi guys with slight mod they do fit . But once on the spacing is 11mm off . Even with a spacer the disc wont fit under the caliper without fouling .

did an oil and filter change today

guld western s6000 sougi - awesome stuff

car runs sooooo smooth

$68 and its the same spec as motul 300v or royal purple (shits all over penrite, nulon, castrol etc)

You are running the skyline disc to suit that kit not the stag one right? They need to be changed as a pair

Spent 8-9 hours at custom exhaust shop standing around and helping out getting new front pipe made, cut and reweld my new exhaust which was bent in 3 places and new/modify intercooler piping to suit new turbo and front facing inlet plenum

I am using a 324mm skyline gtr disc & sumitomo calipers off a skyline . So i think am using right parts but any advice would be appreciated.

Well today I have finally finished the Front Facing Plenum fit out complete with a FMIC. It has been quite a long project

as being 50ks from suppliers is a bit of a drag. Every time you need a bit it is a 100k round trip.

Anyway I am happy with the way it has all turned out. I will have pics of it next week when we do a road test. My boys are off to Eastern Creek tomorrow in the 25G.

Spent an hour last night relocating (slightly) and refitting the handbrake assembly, for my modified manual console surround (grafted the Stagea auto surround and an R34 manual surround together). It all fits and now I just need to improve it cosmetically. Got some leather boots for the stick and handbrake with red stitching coming from ebay, and I'm also fibreglass puttying up the console to sand it back to a smooth finish.

:ermm:

Pics please!

Well I thought I would kill a couple of birds with one stone. I needed a new GPS and car kit.....easy answer Garmin 1490T(great unit)....but I also wanted an Greddy Infometer.

It had been mentioned to me that Garmin will be coming out with an OBDII port dongle....http://www.ja-gps.com.au/Garmin/ecoroute-hd/

Anyway that day arrived yesterday and as I received the much awaited package and unwrapped with excitement then hooked it up. I soon came to the conclusion the ecoroute-hd didn't work. F#$KING M35's!!!!!!

I did decide to test it on some other cars though......much to my joy :down: (not to my mates)....it doesn't work on a V6 commodore either....and I cannot even find the OBDII port on another mates Mitsashitty 380.

Pity this would have been awesome for the price

Plenum in. Started the Stag. Took a few turns to get the fuel up. Ran like a dream up to 2500, then total misfire. WTF.

Checked all connections and found AFM plug not in socket properly. Clicked in and PRESTO. Music to my ears.

Get the wheels on then off for a drive.

Polished up the brembos today and they are in awesome nick! no marks at all :D very happy.

All the braided lines (approved) are here, just waiting on the rear caliper bolts to come through Nissan from Japan.

Clean pic below!

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
