After 9 years of Stagea ownership I am out. The Stagea has been passed on to safe hands and should give the new owner years of fun. I'm sure I will be around but thanks to all here who have helped me over the years and to a few who may not frequent the forums any more but I still keep in contact with.

Thanks Wolverine, for all the help you have returned to us. :)

What have you 'upgraded' to? I just can't find much worth replacing my Stagea with.

Thanks Scotty, I bought the old man's 2012 335i which is a good car to steer. The refinement, the improved fuel economy, the interior is a bit more up to date but the car is less fun than my old R33 and the Stagea.

Finally got the Turbosmart Kompact BOV fitted, got a K & N panel and replaced the hid bulbs, which one has already failed, Yay for ebay!

Why a K+N? Don't say I didn't warn you. I only have a couple of AFM's left...

Rotors and pads arrived yesterday... R35 GTR seats should be fine to pick up next week.

My aero bar should hopefully arrive within the next 2 weeks :)

Nice one, pics please. :)

Forgot to mention, I had the AFM replaced at the same time as well :no:

Honestly didn't realise that K&Ns were an issue, for all the poking around ive done on here id not seen it mentioned.

Have noticed that at full tilt in 1st & 2nd, the last 3 - 400 rpm before redline, it drops off and then theres a slight backfire when it clicks into the next gear. It seems more noticeable now that the bov makes more noise too.

Nice one, pics please. :)

Once all the bits are in the spare room i'll get cracking and take some pics :)

Looking forward to getting these things done so i can move onto the next stage. I have a few blokes in Adelaide working on some options for me :)

Massive thanks to you too, Andrew, for helping with the original "Secret Squirrel Trick" for us PowerFC owners!

Rotors and pads added today.

R35 GTR seats are still stuck in the container which they travelled from Japan in but hopefully they will be good to pick up this coming weekend.

Also got a bloke to give the M35 a once over to find possible issues.... Looks like i have some forum searching to do re: cv boots / caster rod bushes and radiator (last one will be easy)

Cheers

If you are planning on modding it spend a little extra and get the moshimoto radiator. Twice as thick, twice as awesome. It is on my list of things to do this year.

I'll take a look Josh cheers,

Yes at this stage further mods will be on the way.. not sure how much more power it will make from the 240-odd kw's it's making now but i do see more in the future :yes:

Threw on the cold air kit today, idle seemed to go back to 650/750 rpm compared to the factory which I could never get to stay at. ?

And had a play around with the boost T, steady 14psi now bit more of a joy to drive ?

Now let's see who is the first to give me s**t for using a k&n pod and ditching the factory unit....

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • 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
