Lots of goodies arrived yesterday. HKS Fcon and harness, bonnet struts (thanks Cam!) and Deatschwerks pump.

I had one issue with the bonnet strut installation - bit hard to install when someone steals your drill! And here I thought everything was included... :nyaanyaa:

One question to people who've installed a fuel pump, Walbro etc: Do you buy a wiring kit or do you just go to Jaycar and buy all the bits outlined in the million and one how to guides?

Still need to order a fuel filter before I install it, and talk to the tuner about injectors. And settle on a tuner, I still have a couple of options.

Trying to run the deatschwerks on the stock wiring will end in tears, they draw way too much current for something so small and will definitely require a 30 amp relay and thick wiring at a minimum. I got mine from Jacar, I think it was a 60 amp relay with thick gauge audio power wire, run along the passenger side and under the back seat. Make sure you fuse it well and preferably run an earth from the battery too.

The old pump positive will need to be run the same way back to the relay in the enginge bay to turn the new pump on/off.

It seems the DW 1000cc injectors dont have the locking clips to hold them on to the rail, not sure I would trust that personally as all the other aftermarket injectors I have seen use them, even though their install docs say otherwise.

I replaced all the rear wheel studs and fitted the new shoes to the Stagea today.

BB5 LM 19 x 9.5 +25. 235/35 tyre.

Looks sweet.

Can I ask, are your guards rolled, do they scrub at that height?

Looking at (when i sell my Pupra anyway)19x9.5s at around +15-+20 but that offset looks pretty spont on....

I assume you have a manual too.

Also Sika'd my side skirt brackets properly today....

I thought it came with the plug and some wire and you just cut and shunt it

You can, but looking at the flow graphs you get much more flow at the higher voltage. Seems like all aftermarket pumps are recommended to be hard wired.

Bob, there are a few people doing hard wiring kits, including Deatschwerks and Aeromotive.

I did see that. Interesting. My tuner doesn't seem to care, as long as he gets the latency info, which will save a heap of time. Leaning towards the ID1000s, just looking at pricing.

Are the Bosch EV14 1000cc injectors the same as the ID1000s? I've seen a couple of sites referring to them as "Bosch ID1000" or "Bosch EV14 ID1000".

Also are you running the 11mm or 14mm ID1000s? And which length (48mm or 60mm)?

Yeh the ID's are just flow matched Bosch ones with a little machining to the pintle end, nothing special, so are the Xspurts. I think they are the shorter ones at 48mm.

I would rather buy from the Aust distributor, Injectors online just for the warranty. They will also price match to some extent.

So we have had this stagea for about 5 years now and have never posted it here hehe it has been a great car for my wife, it is her daily driver and had minimal dramas. It is a 99 RS rwd auto yer baby :-)

Ok so my wife and I just had our first baby so while she could not drive I decided to give the old girl a birthday.

I fitted some BC V1 coil overs, new tie rod ends, new front pads, a service, replaced the leaking inlet cam lip seal and fitted a Thule luggage box for holidays. I know it's not as racy as some on here but this car serves us well and it is now kited out ready for another holiday.

'Bout bloody time you post in here, Ryan. I've always wanted to know what your car looked like.

I called up my local Nissan dealer today for some pricing.

Fuel filter at trade was $35. I thought that was ok.

Ball joints I wasn't prepared for. Nissan wouldn't sell me the ball joints on their own, I had to buy a spindle. FOR $806 PER SIDE! $1600 FOR BALL JOINTS?!?!

So I'll be ordering them from ebay shortly, where they're around $62 for a pair. Thanks to Dale for his help in confirming the 350Z/V35 ones will fit.

On the plus side, at least Main North Nissan would look up parts for an import. I was all ready to ask for 350Z bits and started with the import bit just in case. Looked it up, easy!

Those guys are legends. The fact that you can walk in say "M35 Stagea" and they know what you're on about is pretty cool. :thumbsup:

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
