Hey guys,

I would like to re-introduce myself to the ACT SAU peeps after a 4 year hiatus on anything Nissan.

I'm Karl, and have recently purchase a black 1999 RS4S Stagea. Back then, I used to drive a 'violet-ish' (?) R33 and sold it to someone in Northside.. and since then did the Toyota scene..

I live deep in the south, Banks, and have see a few skylines down here..

Pics to come..

Look forward to the banter.

Cheers.

Karl

Hey guys thought I would just share the positive experience i had with a panel beater here in Canberra.

I tip my hat off to Chris and his team at The Body Shop smash repairs in Geelong St, Fyshwick.

After being less than impressed with my insurance company with their lack of communication, I finally dropped off my Stagea with Chris on Monday morning and received a call on Thursday (yesterday) saying it was good to go at lunch.

The work needed was the scrape on the rear bumper (insurance) and the repair of the existing damage on the front lip. Chris mentioned there was previous work on the front which he tidied up, fixed the crack and stone chips and resprayed - all for a cash price too. He also included a quick clean and polish.. which seemed to go to waste as it decided to bucket down on the drive home.. mind you, if I wasn't babying the Stagea down every driveway and hump in the road I may have beat the rain.

I'll post pics tonight.

So there's my 2¢ on his shop.. I would recommended without hesitation.

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
