I'll make some local calls and see how we go.

They do a G35x version, so I'm guessing our undertray isn't the same as 350Z. I'm wondering how different the shape of ours would be compared with the G35 too...

Looking at the undertrays on the website the G35x ones are the same shape as our undertrays. I will take the gamble... No way you would get one locally for that price, I wouldn't even bother making myself one.

It's the shipping price that's the killer Scott, calculated cubically I think. I've had a quote of $100+ to ship one over.

By the time you add shipping to it, you're getting to the point where it may be cheaper locally. Not sure how expensive they'd be to ship around domestically for a group buy though.

Maybe we should make another thread on this instead of clogging this one up?

Took my car to Pukekohe yesterday (its going to be closed for a few months as they do it up for the Auckland round of the Aussie touring car series). ATM I have 280awkw but annoyed to find it still not good enough to beat my mate's Subaru WRX RA version. They were a lightweight rally special with over 200awkw and I expected him to beat me in the corners but I couldn't catch him in a straight line either. My timer packed up so my only lap time was a 1.20.4 and I was hitting 240km/hr at the end of the back straight. Next step (when I have the cash) is a couple of reground cams and a full tune - aiming for something like 330kw or hopefully a bit more.

I think you have done damn good. He has slightly better power to weight and possibly a close ratio box. What yr model RA ?

good to hear it ran well mate.

she's a big heavy car....what tyres are you running?

Ex NZV8 17in slicks

I think it was 2001 - came from Possum Bourne Motorsports (was in storage for 10 years and has only done a genuine 10,000km) and has only mild mods - chipped or tuned ecu, better brakes and semislicks -

Any C34 owners who are looking for a cheap master cylider stopper

have a look at gktech: http://www.gktech.com/index.php/r33-skyline-brake-master-cylinder-stopper-clearance.html

They are clearing their R33 ones for $22! I've just ordered one but im not 100% certain the fit but im pretty sure they will

They're not the same as your undertray. The G35x is the same as my undertray.

gktech stuff marked as shipped

boost controller arrived in qld

will order fuel pump soon and book a flight back to qld

should see my car in a couple of weeks :D

also, i made a stagea facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/117917321698843/

just to make it more socially available (a lot of stagea owners don't know about the SAU section here)

dammit, i searched on fb and couldn't find anything

i'll join that and pull mine down then!

Installed an Apexi AVC-r on the weekend, anyone had any experience in setting up the speed/gears business, the manual doesnt really explain what the numbers mean.

Hardest part was hiding everything under the bonnet, I need to make a better bracket for the solenoid valve as hanging it off one airbox mount is a bit average.

Should compliment the dump and cat installed a month or so back.

I have used this guide both times i've set up my AVC-Rs. You will want to make up a rubber isolation mount for the solenoid to reduce the noise.

Had my D/S inner CV boot replaced today; it split a couple of weeks ago.

Had a bit of a chat with the CV guy, as he hadn't ever seen a Stagea; so wasn't sure what he'd need to charge.

Quoted a top end of $200; but said it would probably be less.

Get a call about 2 hours later; cars finished!

Then I get "Holy fark mate, what the hell is the go with that car? Took a little test drive to make sure everything was ok, pulled out the driveway, and nearly ended up in the back seat!"

Ended up chatting about the car for about 45 mins when I picked it up; he couldn't believe Nissan never brought it to Aus, same deal as everyone else that has driven it. He was looking forward to Nissan belting the other V8's with that "Quad cam beast of a motor".

He told me they'd gone right over it when it was on the hoist; couldn't believe how well built it was.

Ended up charging me $100 for the job, and that I was welcome to bring it back any time...

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
