What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

I replaced my castor bushings with superpro ones. When getting an alignment done, the castor was slightly different between the wheels but it hasn't proven to be a big deal. However if I were to replace the bushes again I would have just bought adjustable arms.

Considering he's had the car off the road for months and missed a years worth of cruises, I think it's warranted.

Micro SD to USB adaptor.

So neat and out of the way. Less likely to knock it and bust your usb input port. It barely sticks out lol.

Neat job you did on the gauge intstall and surround.

I received a red and yellow box today with the same two letters repeated. Wating on another box to arrive with HKB on it.

Spent 3 hours with a red sharpie permanent marker fixing the sun-bleached red stitching because my car has spent soooooo much time sitting in the sun at my mech having work done. That, and the fact that I only have a carport available until my under-house 4 car spots are ready...

On a brighter not, my internals arrived on Monday and went straight to the machine shop, where my block is waiting: hopefully I'll be looking at an almost complete engine in the next week, then it's being on the run-in week of driving pleasure!!

Destroyed a new $1600 clutch at willowbank last night! Whatever holds the throw out bearing in the pressure plate (pull type clutch) decided to fail

So started the process of pulling out the box, had to cut the front drive shaft bolts with a grinder because a un named favorite business on here who fitted the clutch rounded the nuts off.

took out the gauge cluster out of the m35 (volts boost torque) removed the boost and installed a 30psi autometer one in its place. works a treat and for the first time since scotty did all the mods i know how much boost its running hahah

get a hdi EBC with digital gauge.

Craig had nothing but problems with his HDI and I am now of the opinion a good mechanical option is best. He already has my HD actuator fitted, and the manual bleeder is a solid performer. No need for the defectable electronic options imo, even though they allow slightly better response. (due to the little spike they give.)

Although, some EBC's have an overboost warning, this is more important than a boost gauge I feel.

+1

No difference in performance between the hdi and turbosmart T.....Ive been swapping between tge 2 for weeks.

The only really difference is the hdi spikes like a mofo and the T maintains control.

    • I'm in the market for 370GT.  I live in Canberra and not much available so I'm looking interstate.  Can anyone recommend an inspection service with expert knowledge of Skylines? Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide (Elizabeth area)
    • A million years later, searching for something else I posted, I was reminded of this thread. I eventually bought a new gauge. Put it in using the same probe (which has been installed the whole time stopping the exhaust gas from coming out the hole) and.... normal service has been resumed. The old gauge was definitely broken. /semi-pointless closure.
    • They're available from Nissan! I was able to buy a GTR (R33) one.. relatively* recently. Perhaps this stopped now but I bought mine ... relatively recently. I believe the 300ZX one has a different knee-point which is more rear biased, which I think the HFM one echos.
    • Hey Team, A bit to unload here. Hello from New Zealand I have a 2009 Nissan Skyline 370GT ( Type SP ) Auto 7 Speed, that I've had since 2022 and have loved the car since. Its painted in its factory QAB ( White Pearl ) with the Impul front lip and rare boot lid/spoiler with woodgrain interior. Mods since I've bought it and installed: Stillen Gen 3 Long Tube Intakes Motordyne Shockwave Catback Exhaust JDM Skyline Taillights Fake carbon spoiler and front grill ( Will be taking off.... its cringe ) VR30DETT Transmission from the Q50/Q60 to hold up to 550 Foot pounds of Torque ( 753 nm ) reliable  Currently I plan to turbo the car and have all the parts needed ( Photo Included ), I have my tuning day set on August 8th and choosing EcuTek as my tuning platform. Two of my work colleagues has their 370Z ( Manuel ) and 370GT coupe ( Type SP - Manuel ) also turbo'd and they have inspired me to get it done I have prepped quite a wee bit for this, as I had done the VR30 transmission swap over to this car so that I can achieve my HP goals without torque being an issue. I've taken quite a cautions route, as im always thinking about the safety as well as performance with my build, I'd rather do it properly and not cut corners etc etc. Any who, I've recently picked up the AutoStrada cruise control kit with all the included cables/wires/instructions. I've been hella researching around and can't find much on the integration that it has with the ECU and/or system. the only reason why im asking is, because I'm getting EcuTek and one of them RaceRom features allows the ability to switch maps via the cruise control function, which I am currently in the grey area if this would add-on via the Canbus will allow me to switch maps or have the option to use Cruise Control to begin with ( showing up on the instrument cluster to advise Cruise Control being set etc etc )  Because of my model being Type SP, Cruise Control on these models was never an option from factory unfortunately.  Anyone here that is able to shed some light on if the Cruise Control via AutoStrada gives OEM ability over the cruise control. Would love and appreciate any response and/or assistance with this, also happy to answer any question about my build and ill try pitch in where I can. Warm Regards,  
    • I thought the only (new) BM57 that was readily available was the one that was a BM57 but with the wrong bias. HFM or someone's?
