i figured coz the stagea is new i might as well be the first to get a custom made exhaust. it was done by my local performance exhaust shop, southport exhaust, and starts with stock manifold, a custom dump pipe (r33 doesn't fit coz of something) then mild steel 3in, hi flow cat and zetti muffler. All up, $1,000 bucks. immediately you notice the increase in torque and top end power and sounds awesome as well. :headspin:

Oooops, It thought they were the same. The Blitz catalogue lists the same engine pipe part number for R33 GTST and WGN34 Stagea.

Blitz Front Pipe ECR33 Stegia WGNC34

¥15,360.00

Care to check with your exhaust guy and find out what exactly was different. It would be a great help :D

Hahaha, funny how I come home and the first thread I read is this one seems I JUST picked the Stagea up from the exhaust shop !!

Just got done a turbo back 3 inch system. Custom one piece dump/front pipe, high flow cat, resonator then into a 3 inch muffler. All up it was $900 (but I supplied the cat).

They did a very nice job of it. Very tidy welds, all sits nice and snug under the car (no problems with clearance), all the mandrel bends are perfect etc.. Very happy with it.

I haven't had a chance to give it a good test yet - too much traffic around, but I'll take her out later tonight.

I've got the whole exhaust system here at home, as well as a stock R33 GTS-t dump and front pipe, so I'll be able to assemble the two and do a direct comparison of them...

I did notice that on the Nissan Fast part program, the part numbers for the Stagea front and dump pipe are the same as the R33 GTS-t dump and front pipe !!

And I just remembered that I was going to take some pics of the exhaust while it was up on the hoist.... And damn it, I forgot.... Sorry...

I have bought a s/s cat back Apexi N1 exhaust system for my Stagea when it arrives. Will that be enough on the exhaust side of things? I read somewhere (think it was a Zoom mag) that the cats on these cars aren't that restrictive. Is this true? Should I buy a high flow cat? What else do I need?

  • 2 weeks later...

hey guys i was wondering is there enough room under the stagea to run twin 3" to the rear either together or one each side, crossing over under the tailshaft or something????

i would like a complete twin 3" system (one from each turbo all the way to twin exhuast at the rear bumper)

could i fit 2 mufflers on each pipe??? and 1 cat on each??? :confused:

prolly wont fit but just asking before i purchase a stagea :jump:

i want it to be very queit and not be excessivly loud like the engine is in the vl atm with a hotdog muffler and another rear resonator, deafening is the word :uhh:

cya guys

Brad

I drove an R32 GTR that had a twin 2.5 inch exhaust from the turbo back, including twin cats. It had a twin inlet/outlet resonator under the passengers floor and a twin inlet/outlet muffler at the rear. It was quiet, but had a purposeful note.

    • 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).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
