i will write those down and stick them to my monitor so that i dont forget them  

are there any other mods that a stagea owner should conisder doing to imrove handling and general performance such as the brakes. do they need to be upgraded or are they quite good

Ours has new DBA rotors (not slotted) front and rear and unknown (but new) pads. It stops pretty good for an automatic 1,650 kg lump. Handling wise, as I said in my previous post;

Std Springs = OK

Shocks = Bilsteins with extra grooves to adj height

Fix Roll = Stabiliser bars

Turn in and light steering = more caster

+ Check wheel alignment after lowering to see if camber adjustment needed.

I might try one of those nifty torque split controllers like we have on the race GTR's. They are fun to play with, if somewhat confusing when you also have adj stabiliser bars, adj shocks, numerous spring rates, adj camber and adj caster. Makes my brain aches just thinking about it. :headspin:

Better brake pads all round would be good enough for a street car. From what I notice reading the specs lastnight, and I guess giving it a bit around the track...IIRC HKS Kansai just changed the front to F50 Brembo calipers, rear remained standard and used project mu titan pads all round. Will look more into their handling and braking setup tonight :D

edit: had a look at the brake setup of the cars I mentioned in the list, either better pads for mild tune or Brembos for the hi-power tuned ones...if you can afford to tune that much power you'd want to be able to stop :).

I drove mine a bit before putting the Pod Filter, Front Mount and Full 3" exhaust back on what a difference it makes, sucks the juice as we all said but it happens. The Boost controler is to go back on so a bit more to come.

I put 225's on instead of usual 205's on at time of compliance, well it sits so low since I put the coilovers back on I cant put 3 people in the back.

New R34 GTR seats with Stagea Rails, arive this week as Jeff at www.c-red.com.au has tracked down company who built ones for Nissan and are now selling new, quite well priced but need to order 6 set's and Sea freight to keep price down.

All I know is Jeff said "I will order the seats and a set of rails to suit the Stagea" if they are just a bolt on or not I am not sure, at the price I was more than happy to have seperate rails.

If somebody wanted them for a 32 and it was direct fitment it is easyier to sell with rails.

I learnt over the years to buy seats with rails.

Good stuff - you'll love it when you pick it up.

I was out at the exhaust shop today (wooohooo, booked in on 21st Sept for a full 3 inch system :) ) and got talking to the owner about the car. One of the workshop blokes was looking under the car and said 'hay - this has a skyline motor in it..., DAMN and it's 4wd !!!"

I had a big grin on my face... :cheers:

When I told them how much they sell for they almost fell over...

Once the word get's out I dare say there will be a few more going around :)

I imported it myself, Hey Mad Wagon did you get yours from preferred autos on bribane road, my dads cousin works there, I think i may have seen your car on their lot.

Currently its with Ernest (my compliance man) at Skyline imports in brisbane (southside) So i got to go get it and rego it on thursday providing the plate arrives on time.

The only problem is i'm working most of the weekend! GRRR Last fri night I was mixing for some international Bosnian band at Southport sharks til like 2 in the morning then worked all saturday. This saturday i gotta work most of the day then have to DJ at some function at the casino til like 3:30am on sun morning. Hmm could be a sleepless weekend. Must go cruzing sunday arvo maybe. Got mods to start and stereo to install aswell.

At least i'll have it in my hot little hands. Then I can truly become part of the club.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
