can get a remap for 200kw + more torques + faster dsg, while under warranty thats probably all ill do.

ive really wanted a new(ish) car for a long time. ended up with an actual new car. it has everything, except electric seats which is really weird

WTF dude?

So now that you sell your Stagea, you don't understand torque measurements?

Can't have more torques. Your engine has torque and the measurement of this torque is in nm, lbs/ft etc. geek.gif

Sound as silly a Clarkson when he talks about "torques".

On an unrelated note, I wonder if Craig will crack 300 powers when his car is finished...

So, just bought the replacement for the stagea. Dont laugh!

Got it brand new, collect Friday.

147KW petrol with DSG. Mines a sedan, not a wagon shown in this pic. Same colour!

Does Dsg chip second?

I replaced my Stagea with a 130i. Black. Msport. 195kw.

Needs an LSD.

Euro ftw!

i dont know, i pick it up in 2 hours. give me a few weeks to bed the motor in and ill let you know!

im gonna say no, its very smooth with its gear changes, you barely even notice it at low speed!

Use a good quality masking tape and take your time putting it up :)

Cheap masking tape can either leave sticky residue or come apart when removing leading to unnecessary anger.

Nice avatar change by the way. Do love (and will miss) those Nismo tips thumbsup.gif

Also, if you're masking against a colour; paint the edge of the tape with the colour that is underneath the masking tape. This seals the edge of the tape stopping the new colur bleeding under the tape and gives you a razor sharp edge.

I f**king hate painting.

    • Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.
    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
