Send him a mesage; he's Russian but speaks English.
I'm pretty sure he runs a workshop; I'm sure he could point you in the right direction

Genuine.

I only have the PN for the entire turbo gasket set, which is worthwhile having if you plan to change the turbo one day. 14401-AQ826

Is yours damaged? I have never needed to replace one as yet.

found one @ just jap. i'll order one when i get the bc coilovers.

Perfect . thx for the advise. My luck is , that it would leak.

I ordered a new one today, along with a set of BC BR's from Just Jap. Going all out next friday. New Auto, exhaust & dump, HDI FMI & Bc's, R/C gaskets & a service... also a set of wheel bearings in the front..

Going to be a busy friday..

Hi Guys,

Mrs. and I are maybe considering a Stagea ARX four. The car will be for her.

Any common major issues to look out for? (Problems that would require me to take it to a specialist)

Plan on keeping it 100% stock.

90% urban use and shopping centre car parks. Other 10% country driving to the snow/holiday spots.

I plan to do regular maintence etc.

Use search function and you will find whaf you require.

Common issues

.turbo side cam cover gasket will split leaking oil onto turbo

.turbo blowing (oil starvaton)

.blow off valve farting

.restrictions in the dump pipe

.carbo build up in engine (apparent when you replace your cam gasket)

.oem boost controller will play up occasionally limiting boost at times

.banjo restricted.

Hope this helps. Im sure others can add to it

Mine is still going I think, I lent it to Jase a year ago. 13 years is pretty reliable if you ask me.

If only Nissan still sold that original part, not the part they sell now which only lasts a few weeks. (if you are lucky.)

My aftermarket ones seem to be lasting fine Leon... :)

Factory bov farting ? Is that the noise i hear at around 3500 on occasions, from the drivers sideof the car ?

Most likely. It's a weird sound. The stock BOV goes soft over time and farts as it isn;t strong enough to stay closed.

Grab a turbosmart Kompact BOV. Straight bolt on and will help hold boost if you start upping the boost at all

it happens every now & then in between gears. I'll be looking into the Kompact BOV asap.

Where does the factory boost guage connect up ? Mine is is always reading in the neg & occasionally goes to 0.

Is there a guage you can swap in it's orig place without going all ricer & mounting one.?

there is a common fault with them. they get dry joints on the sensor. there is a "how to" around done by scotty showing the fix. but the stock gauge isn't super accurate so if you are planning any major mods you will want a differant gauge. There are lot of differant ways people have mounted them so they dont stand out all ricer style

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
