Well, after owning the stag for just over 4 years now and driving it pretty much as it came. I have almost completed my 1st couple of mods/additions.

I purchased a Turbo Tech MBC off ebay & after trolling thru a stack of threads I managed to get it fitted the way it should. I also bought a boost gauge & air/fuel gauge from one of the skyline boys, purchase a few bits & pieces from my local auto shop & fitted them below the radio in my centre console.

Any suggestions on what I should put in the 3rd gauge slot???

Just fitted V spec Brembo all round , crap !!!! , is there a certain bleeding procedure ? , whiteline Anti roll bars front and rear , Awesome ! , front adjustable upper arm bushes , camber better ! ,

oil pressure

unplug the abs

bleed the rears, furthest from brake master (bmc)

bleed fronts (both sides of each calliper)

plug abs back in

Looks sweet once it's done eh?

Yep. I ended up putting on the darkest legal (30% i think?) as I got pulled over earlier that week and was told my rear windows were illegal. (factory stained glass from nissan) Haha.

I had mine done 20%whistling.gifthey're almost exactly the same as the back. If it didn't look so cool, it'd be a pain in the arse...

I figure if I ever get pulled over I'm going with "it's all factory tint" If that doesn't fly, I'll just strip it , inspection, re tint. Mine only cost $100 for the pair.

I got me an oil pressure gauge, only thing is its too big for the slot. Was thinking of mounting it on the A pillar at a later date. Any other suggestions......maybe voltmeter?

BTW............forgot to mention that I made the plate for the gauges to sit in, dead easy.

IMO if you are going to run multiple gauges, the most important ones will be boost, oil pressure, oil temp and water temp.

Thanks, probably put water temp in the open slot in centre console. The oil pressure gauge is too big to mount under radio, so I'll look at making dual A pillar mount out of fibre glass for oil pressure & oil temp.

Just bought the 'power duct' through Nissan. Looking forward to saving that amount of money over the next 8years 5 months (HAHahahha) in fuel economy from sucking in hot air from the engine.... :rolleyes:

looking at connecting the fuel/air gauge 2d. pwr connected, just need to run sensor wire to the heated O2 senser on the ECU (pin 50) if I'm not mistaken.

Waste of time, unless you get a wideband sensor.

Oil pressure, oil temp, exhaust temp, accurate water temp and wideband are all critical if you are tuning imo.

OK then how fo you know if its wide band??? or not. The one I got is Autometer Pro Comp Ultra Lite (refer above pic). Shows - lean, stoich & rich.

A wideband wont run off the ecu, it requires a wideband o2 sensor to be placed in the dump. It will give you an actual value instead of just rich/lean.

This is the one I have...

SHWEEEEEEET, something to save for asside from the home loan :D Thanks for the info, i also had a quick look at the new autometer clip for their wideband sensor/gauge.

Anyways, gonna finish wiring this up so my acr is ready for the trip to Dubbo 2m

got my intercooler today

ITS THE WRONG FKING ONE

sigh.. now have to way another 30 years for it to get here... and the fact that this "flood" has nothing to do with WA or where i am ordering my cooler from, it will still take bloody ages... so angry

well today i got the dump exhaust off..to fix the exhaust gasket leak.exhaust.. turns out there was maybe 1mm of the flange that WASNT leaking. When I pulled it off to fix it, it looks like the exhaust shop that did the exhaust did a dodgy, and shrunk the 3" to about 2.5" and put the stock flange back on (never taking it there again). Scotty the f**kn legend cut some of the exhaust off put it back to 3" with a new flange.. fixed.

Ok so made up a new gasket from Gasket material, with some gasket/exhaust seal. n put it back together..

it set.

Started the car.. i'de safely say about 50% of the turbo whine went away...sounds normal now..

still gonna take it to the turbo shop on monday to let him have a listen first..

once this all finished. i made some great souvlaki's and now im full and scotts so full he cant breathe!. goodnight Stagea owners.!

Edited by AaronNM35

that turbo whine you were hearing is awesome. LOVE the sound of the turbine when you have an exhaust leak :)

my bosses car has a dump straight to the ground from the turbo, i love driving it just to hear that sound. pity its attached to a mazda6 MPS

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
