What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

They came up well!

thanks!

damn hard work on the hands sanding.. but so satisfying when done.

Took a while as I only have cordless drills so very low speed/ torque. For about 30 bucks in materials though a new lease of life

Found this thing waiting for me when I got off work today, freshly delivered from Sendai, Japan

btw anyone have access to the Nissan Fast software to run the VIN for me? Just want to be extra sure I did in fact buy an Autech 260rs, all the signs point to that but just want to be 1000% sure

ahh they are such a great car aren't they :) post up or pm me the vin and i can check.

I used the Stagea to tow the Leaf to Bathurst and back on the weekend, it made easy work of a very heavy load as always. Very happy with how the car runs, even though it has over 300,000klm on it now

Big thanks to Duncan for running the VIN for me :)

Stopped by the local Super Autobacs yesterday after work and picked up a mount to hold my phone so I can use it as a navigation and picked up some good ol' JDM squash air freshener.

Phone mount on the left side, obviously no phone in it because I used it to take the pic :P

and some cheeky seat belt covers that I've had in every car since I was 16, they were a gift from a friend in high school for my 16th birthday

Seemed to have developed a boost or fuel cut on hard acceleration in 2nd gear and sometimes 3rd. Not sure if what has happened but feel like the engine fuel and boost all cut for a second so I let off the gas for a sec and bang all good again. Any one with thoughts on what it could be boost cut, fuel cut ? Running 19psi on max rom tuned with Walbro pump 3" turbo back and intake.

Maxing injectors maybe?

don't know if you are running with EBC. if you have EBC, you can block stock boost sensor that could let you know it is boost cut or fuel cut.

with aftermarket ECU, maybe the problem is your 3" turbo back, it will increase your boost level.

btw, do you have boost gauge to measure the boost level?

i also have some fuel cut and EMU is on my hand now :nyaanyaa:

I have a ebc and gauge reading 19psi max boost. I deleted the stock boost solenoid a year ago. How can you tell if it's boost or fuel cut by blocking the solenoid?

You can just block stock boost sensor, then you never get 21psi boost cut.

See attached pic, No.1 is boost sensor

Could the factory ecu re learn itself and try to adjust for the max rom

It does exactly that, although it is fast at learning, so I would have expected it to be sorted on the dyno.

If the AFM is hitting over voltage in one particular cell it will fuel cut like this, but the voltage this happens at changes depending on the cell.

Nathan, if it is boost cut I would expect the MIL to light up. I wonder if the AFM was clamped correctly... As I said I have no idea how they tuned the HDI mate.

thank you gents I blocked off the map sensor this morning drove it hard to work to see if any boost cut... Seems to have done the trick.

I wasn't getting a mil light when it was happening but seems good now I'll test over the coming days and see how it goes.

I wasn't getting any cut in the dyno or for a few weeks after the tune, just came on all of a sudden. The ECU does learn at a fast rate so not sure why or how it happened.

Thanks for everyone's help with this gents [emoji106][emoji4]

Some new wheels on won on auction so will have to wait for them to get delivered.

Also bought a Transgo shift kit to liven up the gear box.

The guy i bought it from has only one left. $250 + delivery.

If anyone is interested, please let me know so can pass the details on ☺️

This learning only happens off boost/low load for fuel.

Finally got my AMPerformance intake fitted, straight away noticed the extra flow.

Throttle more sensitive down low, less throttle needed to get the car rolling.

Haven't tested high rpm yet.

Thanks to Craig for fitting it, wasn't easy.

Nice, and it's up high that it's makes the most difference

spent some time this weekend exploring, trying to figure out what mods were already on the car, so far I've found:

Nismo Exhaust

Nismo Air Intake

HKS EVC 3

Apexi Turbo Timer

Coilovers (brand unknown)

Carrozzeria head unit

waiting to hear back from local shop about doing a full fluid change/flush and to have them inspect the car in more detail

    • 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.
