Finally got to post up some dyno charts. Not earth shattering (308 AWKW) but it feels fast to me. I have had some good days on various tracks but now looking forward to setting a 1/4 mile time. Trouble is Friday nights are drag days and I work at nights but hopefully I will get down there before too long. Progress has been slow - no time or money - but some new plugs and a better setting up of the wastegate and a touch up of the tune should net me a few more AWKW.

RB30 is great for the Stagea (mine is 1800kg with me in it) - pulls away from 1000 rpm in 5th comes on boost 2500 and full boost at 4000 (rev limited at 7000).

What I don't understand, is why didn't Nissan make the cars with this engine....with their weight they really benefit from a few extra ccs.

Good dyno result, particularly on 98 (it's getting rare over here to see a medium or high power build that is not running e85)

Imagine one with a non turbo rb20! Lol!

Downfall of having capacity based road tax systems. Big cars, silly little engines.

Great result; especially at all four!

It must have torque up the wazoo; sounds like a great thing to drive.

So, 12 months, 2 radiators, 4 turbos, 3crankshafts, 2 sets of pistons rings and bearings, 5 unsuccessful dyno runs many many $$ and a new set of coilovers later, it looks like I may have my car back on the road tomorrow... Fingers crossed!

Pics to follow once I've finally had a chance to get behind the wheel again: cannot wait to post that it runs perfectly and made good power!!

Excitement!

installed boost gauge, car runs 14.5 psi, was hoping it was running a little lower so I could have upped the boost. So i'll just go sort the rest of the exhaust and still aiming for hi 12's

wish I had smaller hands! today I tackled, spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, cleaned afm, attesa fluid and replaced all the dead lamps in the climate control unit! and refitted the stereo so it sits flush with the climate control :)

couldnt face doing oil change today!

What power is the car making? I ran 12.3 at 270ish RWKW and a slipping clutch. Its all about getting these heavy things off the line.

Put the boost gauge in, only reads .4 bar boost (running 10psi so .7bar) and barely reading a vacuum (maybe -50 mmHg but should be at lease -250)

Anyone ever pulled one apart for repair?

So finally got my bars painted :worship: and refit them to the car,while the bars were off i plasti diped the grill and pulled apart the head lights and plasti diped the inner crome bits [ :domokun: obviously not the reflective bits]oh and also bought a new autech badge for the grill and had to make a bracket for it as it was STOLEN with the badge last time :angry: and cant be boughtscottsstagea006_zps159c8845.jpg

    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
    • Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
