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....

My guards are rolled and they don't scrub. The plastic inner guard lining hangs down a bit in the front, so occasionally it rubs on that, but nothing major. I really need to get out there and refit it!

It's an auto and runs a 15mm bolt on spacer up front. If it was a manual, I'd be going for 10" +15. That way it gets rid of the need for the front spacer and would still fill out the rear guards.

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.

I think it looks kinda cool with the luggage carrier up top!

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:

That's pretty cool. FTGully Nissan used to be like that.

washed and polished, looks like new again. :yes:

Half way through replacing the front left wheel bearing, I hope to have it finished tomorrow after work. Just need my mate to press off the old bearing from the hub and press on the new bearing.

Fitted the Cusco front camber arms to my S1 yesterday set to max negative camber. Don't know what that is yet -still to get wheel alignment. Not recommended for street use - makes it very tip toe but seems to help in cornering. Got them mainly to take max advantage of my slicks on the track.

It was a bit different 3 yrs ago when I went looking for a spare key for the M35. I must admit the guy did a lot of computer work to find what I was after. Top place.

I use Grand Nissan down south, the spare parts guys are always helpful when it came to any of my imports. I think it's just a matter of finding a dealer with a spare parts department that are not lazy.

i wish i had that luxury up here in townsville, we have one nissan dealer, and i went in and asked about towbars when i first got mine (before i read about the max ones) and his answer was 'stagea? that's an import correct?' my response 'yup', him 'we don't have anything to do with any parts for any imports whatsoever' i just walked out. didn't even reply to him

Driving on Sunday, I hit one of those stupid kerb things on the left hand side as you go through a round about. Obviously just not far right enough.

Pulled over, checked it, and I'd hit the front wheel hard enough to tear a flap in the sidewall, but it was holding together, still had air in it, so off I drove, and left it, but checked it a couple of times. Put about another 50k on it.

Go to drive it tonight and the tyre has definately lost more air, but on closer inspection I've shaved the underside of my front bar, hit the rear wheel worse (and taken a fair chunk of metal out in a couple of spots) and damaged the back part of the side skirt.

I seem to remember the ATTESSA system won't let me replace one tyre, I have to replace all. I've also got to check that the wheels are still straight, organise a wheel alignment (which I was already doing), and have to get the skirt fixed (which doesn't look like it'd be that hard a job).

So what did I do to my Stagea? Hurt it. But I'll call the insurance company tomorrow and ask them what the go is.

Yeah thinking about it. Planning on getting wheels soon so don't want to go crazy but it's got the original jap tyres on it still.

Guess if I put four decent tyres on gives me time to work out what im going to do, and finish the current mods.

you'll be fine just replacing 2 tyres (I don't beleive in replacing just 1...). Attessa allows for something like 3-5% difference in diameter before it detects slip to allow for this.

Even different brands in the same size can have variance in actual sizes.

Cheers Duncan. I've heard all kinds of funny stories over the years about Attessa being a bitch, had me kind of worried. I remember at one point reading that someone didn't rotate their tyres on their GT-R and that was enough to make it kick up a shit fit.

It's my drivers side rear, It had a small leak when I drove up the coast, my front torque guage was sitting a few mm up from the bottom and when I put air in it was normal again,

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
