Now apart of the stagea family

Hi all,

Been apart of this forum for a few years now which has been very valuable after owning a couple R34s in the past. Times have changed and I need something practical for work, fun and wouldn't break the bank, so long behold I just put a deposit on a stagea! Car is in great nick and has a fair few goodies on it according to one of my mates that also own's an NM35.

Only downside is that it has the dreaded turbo whine not excessively loud and still performs fine, which I expected from any M35 that hadn't had its turbo rebuilt at some point and allowed for in my budget. What i wanted to know is if someone could give me a brief run down on there experience and whats involved in removing the turbo without pulling the motor (special tools required, part removal sequence). Car also has one of scottys dump pipes. I haven't had a chance to look under the car yet to see whats required but when the time comes I plan on posting a detailed DIY seeing as no ones done it yet.

 

Cheers,

Such enthusiasm its good to see.... that will change lol. There was a thread about the turbo swap but can't seem to find it. Its one of the worst jobs you will do on this car for sure. No special tools are needed just sockets with extender bars and swivel ends including a new set of knuckles. Good too see steven's car sold. (Assuming its the same one). He also has a lsd diff for sale you should go buy and install. Welcome to the family

Nice purchase, looks like you have a suspension kit under there too.

Great work car, I use mine for building.

I love going to the timber yard and parking next to all the utes and vans..

Haven't seen another Stag in there yet :)

Thanks mate! 

Yeah I managed to find a somewhat detailed thread how ever it involved pulling the motor which i'd rather avoid.

Yep its Steven's, still waiting on him to get the roadworthy, never mentioned anything about an LSD, I'll have to ask him about it.

Picked up the car and i'm loving it!! Spent a couple hours today starting to make that pearl shine (size of these cars is daunting:mellow:) so that's going to consume my spare time this week!

But for now question time!

- Previous owner removed the pop out screen, I've replaced it today and it doesn't function how ever i don't have the nav unit in the glove box which i'm guessing is why it wont function?

- What are people running in the way of cabin controlled BOVs? I'm a fan of the GFB stealth II just unsure of there compatibility on the VQ.

- Exhaust suggestions? I believe the car already had fujitsubo on it previously

Yea you need the dvd rom & tv tuner to run the screen.

I believe this had a stock exhaust as he didnt get the chance to fit the exhaust.

Im running a turbosmart kompact BOV (not sure why you want a cabin controlled unit).

Will definitely be looking into boost controllers soon, in regards to cabin controlled BOVs (GFB deceptor pro in particular) allow you to switch between plumb back, vent to atmosphere or anything in between for full gobble if you wish (don't judge) haha.

Seems a lot of effort just for the bov. Venting to atmosphere from what i understand will lower the intakes air volume hense messing with ecu fuel/air volumes.

Car will stall, shoot flame, rough idle if the ECU is not tune for such circumstances i believe.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
