i`m so looking forward to xmas now

see ya out there guys !

i`ll have compliance for stagea by march next year ...price atm is horrible due to 4 cat convertor exhaust fitted for emmision + brembo pads needed ..new front pipe..odd size tyres ..225/50/17..so cost is don`t ask ...don`t go there ..atm ...still have alarm ..insurance ,stamp duty to go ..this is not a cheap car trust me ..truly hope its worth it ..will know in january i guess

Holy crap! These things do happen. All the issues should be sorted by the time I am ready to go. I have been keeping an eye on them at auction and there are some good examples at good prices. Comp and the other associated costs are the ones hurt though. My give the wife my Staj, sell her R33 turbo 4 door and get another GTR, so many options.

Let us know how you go.

Saw it on Sunday arvo, and I'm hopefully heading down tomorrow to give it a test drive.

Seriously considering buying a Stag, but will probably have to go for one of the RS4s unfortunately ;)

Will try to take some pics aswell.

hmmm ive been thinking about getting a Stagea over the past few weeks aswell as a secondary car.

i see them every day when i drive home at that car yard ;)

ill see what next year brings i think.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
