Bi-monthly contribution to the car industry, seems weekly at this velocity lol.

Needed an undertray to protect debris and stuff flying into the engine bay which may or may not have caused my power steering belt to pop off at the track.

Turns out OEM plastic one is quite hard to come by so this alloy one was chosen instead. They're readily available and also cheaper than a brand new OEM one.

Oh yeah new dust sheilds for the rose joints because Black Friday sale dis dat.

who made the undertray? obviously the main shape is pretty simple but looks like it has a large 90 bend too which is not so easy to do neatly in the shed

Greg Kruse Tech lol..

Funny enough he's bought a F80 M3 and racing it.

I sense GKtech parts for it now. He does post things on what he plans to do and you can tell the BMW FBO purists are eye twitching and getting all hot and bothered LOL...

It's like getting a custom exhaust, using SP Mufflers, an AES valve, etc. BMW fan boys will all have heart attacks.

I reckon you nearly could email Greg and tell him he needs to make them lol.

But at the same time, he's too busy playing with his F80 M3 now.

  • 2 weeks later...

OEM clutch on the fan assembly seized, probably why it always sounds like a taxi.

Went online to buy a new aftermarket clutch, turns out it doesn't fit.

Shit box..

can you measure the PCD for the fan and the coupling? I just went through this on the stagea and have a GKTech adapter I can't use that might fix your problem

Isn't the consensus with these, oem only. Everything else is shit seems to ring a bell. 

EFI Solutions has no stock 😞

Just Jap wants $649 

Lol...

This one is already a 2nd, 2nd hand one 😭

I've destroyed two already, they don't seem to like high RPM and track use. Them seem to seize and become static units.

Might have to buy a 3rd, 2nd hand one...

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
