Another Stagea Spotted!

Today on our Glorious Mountain, The Stagea Capital of the Nation, a silver S1. Two very nice guys raising money for our Paralympians. A stocker but had rims to die for, 245/35ZR19. Very HOT. Owner, Lee, does not have the net so is not on our list of owners. Shame.

Silver S2 in a driveway at La Perouse, was a little way off in the distance but looked alright. if your on this forum, howdy :D The fish and chips and the swim were fantastic :woot: nice little neck of the woods out that way.

And a M35 ARX in a dealer on Parramatta Road, Concord (http://www.japaneseautocentre.com.au/el/zoom.php?id=1245) if anyone is chasing one :(

Ok, time for a rest ;) I've been driving around the city most of the day as I had to drop someone at the airport, I'm knackered now!

spotted a white S2 with what looked like R32 GTR rims, front mount and no rear wing at the bottom of Rainbow Drive in Mudgeeraba (my neck of the woods) a few days ago: was going to stop and say Hi, but I had a 10 pack of chocolate paddle pops in the car.... I had other priorities.

Followed a silver S2 with a bigarse Nismo sticker on the rear window through Forrest lake and onto Centenary hwy yesterday. I was the cranky looking prick in the yellow S2 behind.

LOL did he snub you or something? or do you always cruise around looking like a cranky prick? :P

Yep, work will do that to you.

Mind you, I've been off work for a while due to a contract ending. I can't wait to get back to work, especially 'cos I'll get to drive my Stag lol beats the train!

I spotted a nice clean shiny M35, in my driveway :D

Needs a vaccumm and clean inside but the outside is washed, might get around to giving it a good wax job later this evening.

Nice one Danny, makes a massive change from the old '32, right?

Spotted a black Stagea (I'm pretty sure it was an s2, and also pretty sure it had a 260RS wing on it) on Church Street in North Parramatta tonight, turning left onto the start of Pennant Hills Road.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
