Hi Guys

Ok i havent touched my stagea in the past few weeks, been to busy with work and family.

But im wanting to get back into getting stuff together for my track car build. Question i have for the stagea specialists is the Re5R05a transmission do they run the same driveshaft yoke as the Re5R05a 350z? main reasoning is i know that the 350z 6 speed and Re5 run the same yoke dimensions, just with the dust boot on the yoke not the gearbox.

My track car is a S13 Silvia with a RB26 running a 350z 6 speed, and i need to get a custom shaft made and finding a yoke is proving hard or expensive. if the stagea RE5R05a matches i can get a whole drive shaft for a fraction of the price and chop that to size.

Any help appreciated guys. i can post a picture of the spline count and look if you might be able to compare.

Not the Stagea one, that's for sure. Our gearbox has a transfer case on the back for the AWD, and a 4 bolt flange not the splined yoke.

That said, I do have a 350z carbon tailshaft here I was keeping to hack up for my manual conversion... You could make me an offer... ;)

You were the man i was hoping would reply, seem to be the stagea guru around here. What about the RWD vq35 re5r05a stagea's? are they a NZ only model?

Haha they seem to be going to $300 NZD here brand new. so with the conversion rates and the shipping, i dont think it'd be worth while for you.

Ah, yep shipping long articles to NZ is expensive too.

I would be looking at a wrecked V35 for the rwd RE5 box, not sure if the splines are the same. The VQ35 rwd Stagea isn't allowed to be imported here yet, and was fairly rare I believe.

Thanks for that scotty, i'll have to get my mate to pop out to the wreckers and compare his 350z yoke i think. They's a few of them floating around in NZ, seen a few of them in wreckers as well.

I struggle to see why nissan would produce a different variation of the RWD Re5 though. Searching yahoo jpn i find the odd shaft on there, but the shipping costs out weigh the cost of the product itself and cant find a picture to confirm the spline count.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
