Looking for the owner of a red stagea, gets seen everyday between garden city and the Ipswich motorway. What mods have you got, my father in law keeps saying how quick it is compared to mine.

During the last week & a bit?

Lol. What mods have you got? Got a power figure?

Hi flowed stock turbo, free flowing exhaust, Pod & a dodgy bleed off type boost controller. Last week I was going up the hill near the stadium & the wastegate thought it was a good idea to stay open... the gauge read ~25psi when I knew what was going on, besides the sudden loss of traction from the rear :)

The next few months will see a total upgrade:

Link ECU

A secret modded Intercooler (will tell what it is after I prove a concept)

Garret GT3076R

Mandrel bent 3 1/2 inch system w/Varex muffler

Bosch 044 & fuel regulator

550CC JECS Injectors

This will be tuned for ~300KW

I'm using the Stag as a test bench for my '85 Bluebird. Once it's running sweet, the whole donk is to be swapped over (bluebird has RB20DET atm).

A long LONG time after that, I've got another RB25DET that will be a crank up rebuild (I have access to a 6 axis CNC machine for billet fun) & I'll be hunting for the 900-1000hp mark :)

Forgot to mention the Stag is my work car :P

Sounds like fun, mine was tuned upto 306hp before one of my rings let go, I'm half way through pulling the engine out.

That's gonna be a quick blue bird.

The Bluebird weighs ~900 KG. It's been a project for the best part of 3 years.

Looks a bit different from this photo today

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
