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 Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
