I'm still here, going to japan on friday to pack container and hopefully get an exhaust for the staj. I have a HKS split dump but there is no sense in putting it on if it gets choked down the pipe. Once all is done it is time for a dyno run. WIll post the sheet when it happens.

Cool, looks like everyone is getting some mods done soon. I'm keen to see how everyone goes.

I've got mine booked in on 17th Jan for the Unichip and boost controller to be installed and tuned (attempt two !!). Hopefully this time I've got the right ECU pin outs for the Stagea...

I 'think' I'm the first person to try a Unichip on a Stagea !! So fingers crossed :D

The only thing I need to do before it goes in for the install and tune is to get the car up on a hoist and make sure the 'get the car into rwd only mode' actually works. Otherwise I'll have to get them to pull the front drive shaft.

The Unichip has a boost control option (add on bit) that uses the factory solenoid to bleed the air. It's good and stable upto 13psi which is heaps enough for me. Not sure how much the boost control add on bit is cause I bought the Unichip and boost control second hand :D

It's pretty much tuned for the set up I have, but will need a check and quick tune on a dyno just to make sure :D

I'm just keen to get it in and see the results. Plus I'm dying to turn the boost up :)

Hi J make sure you test out the auto shift quality for us:cheers:

Yepp, I'll give everyone a full run down when I get back from the workshop.

It's a bit scary being the first to try a Unichip on a Stagea, but I won't know if I don't try....

hey guys well my project is coming along nicely at the moment :D

finished the power steering bracket (moved forward 12mm) to bolt on the stock stagea pump

air con pump just about fits on but one of the pipes just touches the front turbo, but easily fixable with abit of tapping :)

clutch master cylinder and vacuum booster are now mounted in the firewall, and pedal box is ready to be bolted in (with a few mods to line up stock holes)

my sump is ready to go on the engine, just got a a set of hks s/s manifolds on the way so ill be putting them on before engine goes back in.

gearbox is being cleaned with a wire brush on the drill and what a bloody difference it makes :aroused:

stock stagea tailshaft looks to fit perfectly (the auto and gtr 5 speed are identical in length)

cooler is setup to mount, just gotta weld the brackets onto the front support bar

still waiting on a handbrake (trying to find one from skyline/silvia/etc)

luckily my front pipes from dump pipes to cat fit perfectly under the stagea (better fit than the vl) so that saves us heaps of pissing around :)

thats about it at the moment

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
