What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

Recommended Posts

They do seem to run a little richer on boost than OEM, I suspect they have a slightly different airflow/Voltage curve. Only the modified cars seem to display the rich running, at least it's better than lean mixtures I guess. Did you reset the ecu before fitting it Josh?

The problem is the 'replacement' Nissan AFM's run much the same as these, and only last a short time in comparison, (something gets damaged inside at full noise for some reason.) I have yet to hear of a failure from these aftermarket afm's, and the price is much more reasonable.

Gives you a good reason to tune the car Josh. :P

Yes a good tune is next on the list once I get a ecu. Was thinking wolf 3d(to give us another ecu option) or greddy emanage ultimate(already tried and tested). Found when I was giving it a little using triptonic once I went from say 1st to 2nd gear it kinda stalled/stuttered.

Well, I bought the red S1 off ebay. Price was OK for S1 Dayz with electric leather. Duco is sh#t but does not make it go or stop. Motor was advertised as stuffed, and it is. Compression test was my worst Chrissie present 3,5 & 6 50psi. So out with the motor and it looks like an RB30/25, same as the Sil is the way to go.

So my new year of Deeper in Debt continues. One would think at my age I would know better But then I am a Nissan Man.

Happy SAFE motoring for all for 2014..

Took the HKS pod filter out and put the factory air box back in with a Greddy high flow panel filter. Hopefully it will be a bit cooler than the pod filter and if I was to get pulled over, it isn't a defect.

Have you got a cold air deflector? That is supposed to help also.

Yeah, I have that. Kept all the stock parts just in case. Although it is a PITA carrying this stuff around when you get posted around the country every few years.

Hmmmm looks like your going to need a 4wd sump adapter and oil pick up for that mission

My Nismo son is doing the Sil Rb30/25 so he does the hard yards and I learn from him for a change. I have been looking at a better oil pump system

for my other RS4 Auto. It has an FFP and a pod and it runs a bit too hot and gets the gurgles I have an oil temp gauge and it gets to 120 when pushed up Henri Robert Drive.. I am looking at an oil cooler, but with a remote oil filter and an oil cooler I think I will need a much better oil pumping system. First I will go like Hanso and refit the stock air box and the cold air deflector. Mrs66 will appreciate the lowering of the induction noise.

Hugh have you put a bigger transfluid cooler on the auto RS4? If it is still routed through the bottom of the radiator that should help. I presume you are using a good synthetic oil! I had a remote filter system but gave up on looking for a place to put it so just got a sandwich plate where I can screw the filter on as its not too hard to do under the FFP.

And what have I done to my Stagea lately? Finally fitted the stock rear wing I bought ages ago, got my under mirror rust cut out and will paint shortly. I got tired of buying cheap and nasty wheels for the track and thought why don't I use my lightweight forged TE37s and bought some Direzzas to try. For the street I got a set of 18 x 8in wheels (ex Nissan GT coupe SE) which actually fit ok. I seem to have lost the ability to paste links on here (anyone else or is it my computer?) so pics will have to wait.

Also removed the knock-off Aerocatches which lasted less than 6 months and installed the much superior genuine article.

(BTW was having a number of problems with this site - unable to paste links etc. Just uninstalled IE11 and reverted to IE10 - all seems to be fixed)

"KiwiRS4T" watch out the heads of the bolts on the bonnet pins will rust out with rain, didn't have a problem washing my car but after it rained they left nice rust lines all down my bonnet :(

No worries have already replaced with stainless!

Tried to rationalise that it's just a car and was not worth commiting murder over because my mother-in-law didn't even notice she'd clipped another car with it pulling out of a car park. Nice little dent right on the crease above the driver's front wheel arch and scuffed up paint on the front bumper.

Mother-in-law is now banished to driving only the Commodore battle wagon which, every time it gets damaged, only elicits a "whatevs bro" from me.

You ought to see my two Stags. None of my doing.

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
