Picked up the stag after new plenum install.

Sex!

Just ran a rag over it, so she's not detailed properly

Is that my throttle cable???????????????????

[66yostagea]

Finally got the Alpine head unit finished installed in the 25G. How dull.lol

[Oddy man]

Why 66, yes it is! And its thanks to you I have the stag now )

Incidently are the cam covers polished or chromed? My Gready look alike is chromed so i want the covers to look the same.

[Oddy man]

chromed. A little pitted but they come out nice with a polish, legacy of a mates r33 which now houses an rb30.

[FLN75S]

thanks mate, havent seen u for a while, and im on 2 weeks hols atm too so it will be a little while...though maybe not looking

forward to the roughness of annangrove road

Yeh it has been a while, Annangrove road is shocking at the moment i have been leaving the skyline at home most days and using the daily hack, hope they fix it soon.

[Stagea_Neo]

Just set the Tein dampeners to 16 all round, now she feels like a go cart

hi flow turbo and WB o2 sensor is in, max tp limit so no more fuel cut, pulled some fuel out, added a few degrees of timing and now its standing up when floored. Damn AFM is maxing out now though, will put my z32 one on tomorrow.

Also noticed when i took the standard turbo off that the impellor is all chipped, explains the noise when it was on full boost, (i was chasing a boost leak, it sounded like air squeeling). Looks like it wont be going back on the r32.

Whilst loading a case of beer into my garage beer fridge, accidentally dropped one on the floor. Bottle hits the ground, smashes, then to add insult to spilt beer, the broken end with the cap still attached, bounces 5 feet, hits the door of the Stag and put 3 little scratches on it!

F##k this for a game of soldiers, going to drink a few of his mates, that'll learn 'em...

[bayslideblue]

installed profec b 2 and wound up boost to 12psi. Wow! Makes me want to hi flow it, just to see what it would be like above 14

[KiwiRS4T]

It will have cost me about $15k to get another 150kw for my S1 Stagea. Mines will do the same for your GTR for a mere $55K if you send them your engine !

[Blizzerd]

getting tint stripped off today, most upset

[pipster11]

found out why it whines on high boost

getting the turbo off was not the most enjoyable job tho

will fit the new gasket tmrw and bolt the 3inch dump up

also, lolz at the stock dump pipe, i'm surprised that the wastegate can even open

i also have a sneaking suspicion that the rest of my exhaust is 3.5 inch cos the front pipe on my car is a bit bigger that the 3 inch dump/front pipe i have and it necks down just before the dump->front flange

[pipster11]

also bought these for tmrws exciting refit of turbo and install of the 3inch dump pipe

So after having my replacement engine in for a few weeks with a hi-flow on it, it is now back to a rebuilt std turbo, (my old one) with a ceramic impeller. The difference is HUGE. The hi-flow didn't come on until 3200 rpm. It was at max boost at about 3700rpm. The newly rebuilt std turbo is on boost even lower than it was before the engine was replaced. It starts coming on a 2200 rpm and pulls hard to about 6000. The car now has a Nistune and will be tuned before the weekend. The hi-flow was not for me, that's for sure. It was slower than my wife's Maxima, until it got to about 60kph, then it was doing over 100 kph before you knew it..... crazy as far as I am concerned.

I'll post up the dyno sheet after it is done.

Who built the hi-flow? That is laggier than my GT3040 on the R33.

Replaced the plugs in my Stag and replaced the coilpacks too. Checked the CAS timing and reset the ECU while I was at it.

Also chasing why my brakes makes this loudish acoustics noise when its moving backwards (rolling back or reversing). Makes no noise moving forward. Got new pads and bedded them in on the track. They were fine up until I had to reverse out of my driveway for the first time with them. NOTHING is rubbing the rotors except the pads.

Mine does the same thing.

Jetwreck gave me his old r32 disks complaining bitterly about the squeal they had but I must have put them in backwards.

Should have tried swapping them Craig...
