That sounds like a complete beast unique1!

Perth is a little far away though, and I'm sure your asking price wouldn't be in my budget. If I do go ahead with this, I'll be stripping the 5 back and selling it cheap as a stocker (it's pretty banged up). It has a shitload of goodies in it though.

Still on the fence though, I'm sure a test drive will help make my mind up, I'll have to wait for the weekend.

I've figured out what I want now.

Black/Gray S1, I don't mind if it's AWD or RWD (I'll be pulling the shafts out anyway). I don't want leather, as I'll be changing the front seats. Already converted manual would be cool, if not I'll do it myself with a mean clutch to handle the abuse it'll get.

Taking an S2 out for a spin later today, I'm quite anxious to see what these things drive like! :D

It doesn't phase me much, as I'll be changing quite a few things on the car. But yeah, I'm not a fan of the S2 fronts, and I'd prefer an S1 front. :)

But like I said, I'll have to wait until the MX-5 goes before I do anything.

It's offical guys, I'm a Stagea owner!

I picked up a gray Zenki DAYZ edition 2 hours out of Melbourne over the weekend.

Check out http://run-it-hard.com for info on the journey, I'll probably post a build thread up here once the ball gets rolling.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
