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.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
