Nice josh they fit in well but are very low! I suggest some spacers [emoji6] they are much nicer than mine. Got mine for $150 but they are stained from the cover the guy had on them. Looking into dying the leather as cleaning then with a tonne of elbow grease has done nothing.

By my measurements; they look to be about 50mm lower at the seat base?

Yeah thats good to hear. Id rather the lower sitting to the stock stagea seat clearance as i feel now its too high. 50mm will be perfect. Cant wait to get my hands on them. Quick clean and then install.... bring on October and WTAC

Hey guys

I'm new on here, but not new to the 'import car scene'. I've had a Supercharged AE86 and a '99 S15. Just picked up a 97 S1 C34 Stagea last Friday. It was a bit rough when i got her, but i'm slowly cleaning her up

So far I've swapped the cheap tiny dirty excuse of a pod filter for a K&N and cleaned the air flow meter at the same time, Pulled out the HID Head lights with no High beam and replaced them with legal standard bulbs (i have high beam now surprise surprise!), only about 2 bulbs in the AC unit worked, so I put new bulbs in so i can see it at night(I wrecked one blue condom thingy, so if anyone has some they don't want, let me know!), the car had no Floor mats so i got a full set of c34 mats for it, installed a M80 mongoose alarm

and today at lunch i went home and pulled the old falling apart steering wheel off and put on a MUCH better condition one!

Gave the Stag a wash and touched up a few chips and scratches today.

Also changed my fuel filter and drive belts which were on their last legs.

Nothing says JDM like finding some yen under the back seat.

I'll be tackling the dump/front pipe next weekend (not enough time today and going to Shepparton swap meet tomorrow to buy more crap that I probably don't need)

Still by far the best upgrade I.m.o.

Response from mid to top end very tidy indeed. For me paired to the aftermarket 3" exhaust my fuel economy improvement has been the real big bonus tho...

Still very happy customer

How much better is the feel economy with this done vs stock?

?L/100km

My fuel consumption went up to about 13.5L/100km around town after doing the Transgo shift kit install (stock exhaust, cheap air filter)

Is now down to about 12.5 around town after installing the Blitz panel filter and Nismo mid pipe and muffler.

Interested to see how much difference the dump and front pipe make.

dammit....what I did to my stagea lately is blow the damn turbo...the bearings are totally rooted.

so basically, I got to spend sunday morning pulling the tow car apart instead of the race car

and off to get it rebuilt tomorrow I guess. hopefully the turb bearings in the oil didn't hurt the motor

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
