Do you know how to connect your laptop to the ECU via the CONSULT port? Do that, then go to file in NIStune and open your appropriate address file for the Stagea. Then siwtch the car onto IGN, and click the "CONSULT" button at the top right of the screen. Click ok to the dialog box that comes up. Once you've done that, there is a button at the top of the screen that has two arrows on it, from memory one is blue and the other is red. Click on that, then click on the button that says something like "Read data from ECU". The other one will say something about writing data to the ecu, don't click that one. Then go to file again and save the image file somewhere so you can send it to Jez.

I THINK that is all correct, but it's been awhile since I used NIStune. Maybe just get on their website quickly and have a read of the documentation, it's all explained in there.

I can't do it in the trial. Says its not available.

This thread is epic haha, I have been avoiding it but decided to read start to finish. About 45 minutes later and here we are!

To whoever mentioned getting a scooter and living with that for 6 months while their Skyline was off the road - my R34 has been off the road for over 2 years now and I have not had another car during that whole period, much to my wife's disgust!

I was surviving with a 250cc scooter to begin with, then I bought a new Kawasaki 1400 GTR a little while after. Coincidentally this morning the 312kg GTR fell over and smashed into my Skyline... Not happy

Anyway sounds like you have had quite an adventure with your Stagea lilcrash, I bet you have learnt a lot during the whole saga. Sounds like you are getting closer to getting everything sorted once and for all though, hopefully! Good luck with it all. Hopefully mine will give me less drama and I put it all back together.

ok so ive discovered that it only has this problem after i baby the car for a while, if i drive it hard the problem goes away after a few good bursts.

wrong spark plugs/gap??

Might be too rich on cruise. Leave the 02 disconnected and test

Scooter for the win while the skyline is off the road saves heaps of money aswell

You just need the appropriate wet weather gear. You get used to it when you have to. Although my bike is pretty comfortable in the weather anyway with its electric screen, heated bits etc

Stable in 125km/h winds is it?

Fark that. I had a scooter when I was 16. Bloody thing would get blown around so badly, I remember driving home from my gf's at 1am, pouring rain, no gloves. Was so cold I couldn't move my fingers to squeeze the brake Good times.

[lilcrash]

Thanks crans

Don't know about 125kmh winds But it does feel completely solid on the road even in heavy cross winds, probably because it weighs as much as a tank.

I know what you mean though as even my 185kg 250cc scooter is horrible to ride even in moderate winds.

[Crans]

There is too much scooter love on this forum, is that saying something about skylines

[lilcrash]

The good old scooter is the only way to balance the fuel costs of an rb engine.

VW blue motion is more comfortable when its raining and best fuel efficiency in a car...

Balance fuel costs of an rb? What?

I get under 10L/100ks most of the time!

[wolverine]

^^ Stageas are a little more thirsty due to the extra >350kgs.

[lilcrash]

I don't enjoy my $90 a week fuel bill. 15/16litres per 100km
