What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

Recommended Posts

111c wow thats not good at all :S hope you didn't cook anything mate

Drives fine still, averaged 10.8l/1000 from the first tank which included going through some twisty hills

The yellow colour I bought was absynth yellow, not a prefect match but better then what it was (use white primer underneath too, yellow doesn't cover other colours well)

We'll see how it goes today, is gonna be a heap colter today, and less hills now too

looks good!

Now go get a trans oil cooler to shove somewhere in there!

awww fk...I knew I forgot something...putting that bar on was a bitch and now I gotta do it again!!! GARRR

Booked in to get my EMU installed/tuned in early march...I take it I need a trans cooler before then? :mellow:

Re rims...LOL i've ordered like 3 sets of rims from JP totalling 4k...1 x R34 GTR rims, 1 x XT7 (18 x 9.5 +30), 1 x LE37 (18 x 9.5 +12), and I'm eyeing some Advan TC2's...

*sigh* maybe I should just buy your ARX rims and spend the rest of the $$$ on more power mods :ph34r:

copycat :P

LOL, yeah, well it only made sense since the car had the skirts and rear bar already...

Was tempted to put Kyle's Gialla bar on (think 360 modena!!!) but it looked a little too much...and I was sure I would scratch that bar to buggery in a week!

Would end up looking like the blue car :O:

I was going for the AVS7 look below...but somehow got sidetracked :P

Actually, is the red one below - is that Kenstyle or Impul? I like it...

Hi Tom. I saw you on the highway on Sunday, just north of Ballina. That yellow really stands out on the road. I wasn't in the Stagea so you wouldn't have seen me. have a safe trip.

Yep he kinda talked me into it LOL. Nah I told him I'm happy for whatever the stock turbo can max out at 14 psi and my existing mods. Aiming for the 200 mark for now. When the turbo dies then we'll look at a higher number :devil:

Cihan says:

I would say installing the EMU is going to make a big difference in torque and power output regardless of the turbocharger installed, you may be able to enjoy the engine as it is for a long time before you have any need to upgrade the turbo. In my opinion the EMU is a great investment at any stage in the tuning process, so i wouldn't hold back if that's what you want.

So I said aaaah why not...no point waiting and waiting...that EMU has been sitting in the car for a couple of months now!

Oh and the rims...figure I'd try em and see which one I like best/fits best. For the price I got em for I'd be suprised if I don't make a profit selling the unwanted sets.

thanks mate, its easy to spot

I spotted a bayside blue stag in tamworth as we were driving in.

We've just left dubbo, 400 kms to wagga wagga :-), car is running well too

I doubt you will see 200 without bumping the boost up which will blow the turbo, and you will be limited to 200 anyway by the intake. Still it feels good at that level.

Are you getting injectors?

You will need a valve body upgrade for the auto before the tune.

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
