I think so! Good thing about putting RB30 in Stagea is the extra height available compared to a Skyline. Also have FF plenum so all that stuff is gone from top of engine.

It looks like that turbo/wastegate setup sits about as high as the factory plenum.

Do you know if the factory plenum would fit if there is more bonnet clearance on the stageas??

I am not ready to embark on an RB30 build yet but it interesting to know. If you are able to check heights that would be handy.

I doubt the strut brace will go back on over the gate pipe..

Did the Tiptronic reversal today... not as easy as I thought cause of different interior, but got it done OK. Also found and vac'd some Jap dudes smoking ash in the console, and fixed that ever floppy gearshift top thingo.

Today i read error code P0345 from my m35 on the engine light.

P0340 CMP (Cam Shaft Position) Sensor (Phase)

P0345 CMP Sensor (Phase)

P0350 Ignition Signal

and thinking about how to get it sorted.... :S

if your car didnt get the recall fix (i dont know what M35 you have) then you should speak to the compliance place.

check your engine plate and see if there are any silver stickers on it with RXXX (XXX being numbers)

I have spares if needed

drove the stagea last night for the first time since i took a chunk out one of the nismo rims :- :P

but damn it felt slow.. sounded like it wasnt coming on boost at all.. like my turbo wasnt working at all. maybe im just too used to r33's boost now, i think that hiflow might need to be done sooner than later. :woot:

Looks the goods, Bob. Not a fan of the gate being plumbed though :P

Bubba, how much of a difference do the swaybars make on a scale of 1-10?

evidently thats a perth comment. if it was atmospheric itd be road legal for about 5 seconds.

awesome build though bob.. looks the good man.. can i have your 30 bottom end when your done :woot:

I assume you werent just babying it.. I cant recall your interior, I take it you dont have any PSI/Bar gauges? Not to sound too one eyed, but I wouldn't have said our cars were so slow that they'd feel completely un-boosted after driving an R33 around for a few days! Maybe take a 1.2L ford laser out for a couple of hours and then come back to the Stag :P

nah im being serious.. i think theres something wrong with it.. i wasnt being sarcastic.. i love my stagea.. the r33 is a piece of crap cop bait thrasher.. the stagea is my classy car... but aside from that .. it didnt sound right i couldnt hear the turbo whine at all. it was perplexing.. and didnt have its normal sting off the line. i was going foot flat to the floor with no one else in the car.

:P

good point though.. need to gauge it to see whats going on.. its the only car without them atm.

one of my mates refers to my garage as Skyrice , volvo and the turd runner.

(r33 , m35 and the sportivo turbo)

Managed to source a custom dump pipe, it arrived first thing this morning at my office all wrapped in bubbles. Now its sitting next to me, mocking me. Perhaps I should stop getting things delivered at work, it makes the day drag.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • 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
