Hi guys, I've just purchased a Nissan Stagea.

I've had a Toyota Soarer for about six years so now it's time to learn about a whole new marque!

My Stagea is a 98 RS4S, black, manual so looks like a big old hearse haha. Has some light mods but won't be doing much to it, want to keep it fairly tame and reliable. Will post some pics once I get a chance to take it out for a shoot!

Sounds nice :D

I'm pretty new to the Stagea thing myself, but they're a great car.

cheers

Good to see another here. Was this this one advertised on CarSales?

Yeah it was. It has fairly high ks but drives well. I'll get the 200,000km service done a bit early just to make sure she's all ship shape as it turns out I might be moving to SA so will probably drive it across the Nullarbor - not a place you want a breakdown!

The interior did need a good clean out as ithad been a bit of a family car, got a lot of the kid muck out but unfortunately the seats are a little stained in the back. Might look into either dying some sections eventually. it's nothing too tragic in the mean time.

Also need to investigate a better option for the amp install as it currently takes up the right side rear passenger footwell.

It also has some 19 inch rims on it and while they look really cool the ride is affected quite badly. I might return to the stock 17s it came with.

that stag is very nice. plus wheels suit it nicely. very clean.

Indeed 18th and 19th is the Perth round of Track Battle & ADGP, meet and great cruise to the track :P

hell yeah im down for it. meet and greet at ADGP for sure. anyone SOR wonna cruise up to barbs?

I don't know if anyones interested but I have a 98 series 2 stag for sale. Needs a couple of things but it's pretty good price considering... factory manual, r34 gtr wheels.. its in forsale section here for 5k

here are the latest pics of new paint job almost done :) just needs pearl over the top:

looks awesome dude will be pretty epic in the flesh once its finished... Who was doing the paint ?

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
