I put my new-to-me Stagea on a dyno today. I don't know the history of this car, so I thought I'd get a baseline. You know, figure out my starting point before I change a couple things up. I thought some of you may be interested, so I've attached an image of the 2nd dyno run.

Results are decent: 252.54 ft-lbs (342 nm) and 292.78 hp (218 kw) peak at the wheels and 311.29 ft-lbs (422 nm) and 359.38 hp (268 kw) peak at the crank. The car has a cat back exhaust and mushroom filters on it, but the rest is unknown. Since it's supposed to have around 280 hp stock, I'm guessing something else has been done to the car. No way a cat back and air filters gave me 80-ish hp. Time to do some poking around and figure it out.

0.8 bar is nearly 12 psi, so you have a little more boost than stock. Nowhere near enough to explain the amount of power it made at that boost, so it's going to be fair to assume that you have bigger turbos on it. -7s or -9s or something similar perhaps.

Maybe. I haven't had a chance to dig into the engine bay. It didn't come with a mod sheet, so I need to go on a fact finding mission.

Sounds like it might be a *good* fact finding mission for a change! :D 

RB26's have a restrictor in the boost line. Pop this out and it'll run 12psi all day. Maybe check this is still in place?

That's a good piece of info. I'll have some time this weekend to check it out. Don't even have to put it on a lift! 👍

Took longer than a weekend to get to it, but I finally took the time. The boost controller is in a different spot on the Stagea (between the battery and fuse box), but the hose with the yellow line was there. Sure enough, the restrictor was still in my car. Woot! 50% more boost for 20 mins and $0 USD ($0 AUD at current exchange rates 😜).

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
