What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[bigkevracer]

It's only taken you a few years.

lol yeah yeah yeah. It's taken me just over a year, but it's been a busy year. Hopefully taking my time and doing it all properly pays dividends.

Adjusted the rear swaybar on the M35 today from the softest to the middle setting... Holy shit what a difference!

Would be keen to go all the way but I'm a bit worried the Mrs would accidentaly get it sideways around a roundabout in the wet & clip a gutter.

Front full hard, rear middle setting

[Mr 20Valve]

I've still got the front full soft

[WAGON_BOY]

hard all the way round with the shock's on 10/30 is primo!!!!!!

[Mr 20Valve]

My Tein shocks aren't adjustable...

Although I have been contemplating a set of Cusco Zero2R's...

[Mr 20Valve]

Will put the front bar to full hard in the meantime before Alex beats me over the head with his turbo kit

[bigkevracer]

From memory those settings Alex listed were the Whiteline recommendations? Thats what I've got my car on and it feels great.

Why Cusco Zero2Rs? BC BRs deliver, and are cheaper?

[PN-Mad]

idunnoboutthat?

But it is what Daleo said. And that guy knows what works. So I did that. Not like its a big deal to change it back if you don't like it!

Because I'm a massive wanker...

oh yeah - std shocks / nismo springs FTW

[rb26stagea]

Ordered my internal bits today: pistons, rods, head gasket, studs, pins, rings, head studs... Getting excited: it's all coming together: block is in getting honed and prepped, so will hopefully have it all screwed together next week...

That said, I imagine my tuner will be taking Christmas off, so I doubt I'll even have a run-in tune until mid January at the soonest...

Not what i have done but what i've found out:

you can now use google translate (at least on android) to translate photo's of text from jap to english!!!!

Pointed the phone at my fuse box, highlighted the text i wanted and bam! It told me what the japanese said and it made sense!

[joorsh]

I just bought the sticker on ebay for 2 bucks

Lazy FTW

[pipster11]

yeah, i downloaded it and printed it out

but its also useful for other areas where there is no known translation

or for areas of interest for the jap service manuals (r33/r34 etc)

[joorsh]

Yeah that's true - I can think of a few places it would be very handy!

Car was finally tuned yesterday. Bad day for it with the heat, but oh well.

We had issues with the config of the EVC to start with. For some reason it had started just delivering 7psi. By the end of the day it was fine and back up to 15psi, but it's pretty obvious that I'll need Scotty's upgraded wastegate spring.

Few things still to clean up on the tune but we'll get there.

looks good Ryan.

Seems like the shut if down pretty early- about 6000rpm. Stock turbo is out of puff anyway. Magic question - what was the AFM volts maxed at?
