After a long search I finaly got my Stagea. Been to nearly every dealer in Sydney and some private ones interstate (and spent a lot on car inspections fees). Some good and a lot bad, so without further ado here she is. Crappy mobile phone pics unfortunately.

Things to do are get the radio to pick up Aust channels, reversing camera and after a month or so get the turbo built up. Shes needs a good detail and I´ll do an oil change in a few weeks.

Congrats on the new wheels.

Don't mind the M35s. I'd have one if they came in manual. But alas, they do nos, so I'll make do with the 34 :)

NEEDS MOAR LOW!! :nyaanyaa:

Looks nice, good luck with it! I actually saw one very similar driving through town today. Looked awesome in white, hadn't seen a white Axis before then.

So future mods...

- get the radio to pick up Aust channels - Guessing you have a Bose, so just get a band expander for it unless theres an issue with it. Then when it breaks down, you can replace it with a G35 fascia which will give you a standard 2 DIN hole.

- reversing camera - slippylotion posted up a guide a month or so ago using an ebay special camera. I take it you've got the screen? Just do a search, you'll find it, pretty easy and the cameras are only ~$30-40 on ebay.

- get the turbo built up - Why so soon? Can of worms is open!

Definelty needs MOAR low.

Wasn't a fan of the whites in the rs,rx models but the axis in white looks better than the other models.

I'm not sure what stereo as l'm already at work and didn't check. Hopefully just a quick fix.

For the reversing camera trying to get that done ASAP . I can't seem to get access to slippylotions post but trying to sort something out.

With the turbo ive been told they start to let go around 100k mark so I have some time to save for a new one.

Scotty has found it's oil feed (or lack thereof) that kills them. If they're poorly maintained the banjo to the turbo blocks and starves the turbo of oil.

Just drill it out to 2mm and you should be right.

And I am a fan of the RS in white... thats what I've got! :thumbsup:

There is really no point in taking pics, you can barely see up there and without knowing where the pic was taken from it wont help much.

You can see the oil line if you take off the undertray and look up from the passenger side. Just in front of the driveshaft there is a metal 8mm line with a banjo into the block, remove this and drill out to 1.5mm, then clean any swarf and gunk from the hole before refitting. Is your turbo noisy? Some stockies sound like a jet taking off.

Really? I think the pearl white looks hot in the rs/rx...

admittedly I'm not a huge fan of the AXIS/ARX...looks fat/bloated :P

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
