While I'm waiting for my R34 brakes to arrive for the Stagea, I decided to remove the passenger mirror and hunt for any rust coming thru. Found some just starting and decided to rub it all back and treat it so it won't spread.

Two more weeks until Time Attack ... so in two weeks I'll need to fit the R34 brakes, braided lines, bleed the brake system thru with fresh DOT4 fluid, oil change, filter change, O2 sensor change, and a dyno tune.

took me about 3 or 4 hours to slowly cruise through my r34 brake swap

pull the restrictor out of the 34 brakes and use your existing banjo bolt with both original copper washers without modification

the 3-4 hours also included going to get more brake fluid and bleeding everything twice and taking the master cyl out cos i got air in it

the thread on the stock rotors (to pop them off the hubs) is metric fine pitch, cant remember what size tho

Jason it`s a simple thing to do ok not hard mate at all ,front Rotor`s slotted may be RDA954S,& EBC DP1671 & there Black stuff ,you can look at yellow stuff your call,

Now all this about then not fitting ???? ,LAST TIME I WILL SAY THIS OK

I FITTED THEN NO MOD`S OK,

Searched and searched for rotor and pad replacement for S2 stagea!!!! Read through all 19 pages of stagea brakes! Waiting for response on hpx pads. Just been on Bendix site again.

they are also a site sponsor here, dont get the ar1m or you wil chew through rotors if your not getting them hot enough

ask them about the hpx's

and if you get them through sau they are cheaper

Fitted a boost controller today, Blitz SBC R. I don't believe the difference it made to the low end response, it seems to be on boost all the time now. :)

I checked the wideband higher up in the revs and it is running very lean, with a lot more punch. I had to drop the boost back down to a reasonable level until I can get to the tuner.

Wideband reset, torque converter lockup and petrol primer for starting on ethanol. There's still heaps of room for the ejector button though. :)

Stainless buttons are from Jaycar, they come in momentary or latching and are led backlit. (blue green and red.)

You got that in in a hurry!

(all those wires along that side made it too difficult to mount the buttons?)

"it seems to be on boost all the time now." - Statement to make Jetwreck more envious by any chance?

very pretty Scotty....red is gay though!!!!!!could have at least put some pretty screws there.....should have done the carbon fibre look ;)

only kidding bud....looks gay but good :P.....not that gay is a bad thing :)

Cam, might be envious of instant boost but at least I have some real boost all the time :P.......that's the only comeback I have! :D

Turned up last night, had to get it in... :D

How did we go with the exhaust leak mate?

Exhaust manifold. Have yet to rip the heat shields off to have a look, certainly hope I have not sheared a bolt/stud... although that would be an easier fix than if the manifold is cracked.

"Real boost" all the time? Oh yeah?... well... erm... (stupid f*ck'n exhaust leak) ;)

EDIT: Suppose I should actually contribute here.

Okay, well a couple of weeks ago I installed my lovely Nismo exhaust in leu of the Fujitsubo Legalis. Same design, different muffler lol

On Monday night I decided to change the aerodynamic abilities of the rear end of my car by installing a stealth black trailer :banana:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
