Almost everytime another wagon pulls up beside me at the lights they try to drag me off.

Doesn't matter if it's a young or old bloke, young or old woman. 95% of the time they will take off super fast.

I don't have problems with other cars, just mainly wagons..

Do you Stagea guys get the same thing ?

It's funny really, Stagea envy ? :rofl:

LOL, true :(

I don't even bother in the Stagea, it's more of a luxo car than a drag car.

Oh, the cops here in Canberra had one or two of those 'hotted up' volvo's. I remember the news report when they started using them. They were bragging on how they could do 0-100km/h in 7 seconds !!!! Baaaahahahahahaha...

Anyway, in the first week one of them got written off cause the copper was chasing a WRX, understeered around a corner and smacked it into a brick wall..

We didn't hear much of them after that :D

I haven't been beaten by ANYTHING yet. Stageas are so STEALTH fast. Quiet, no rev/rev dump clutch, no wheelspin ..... just goooone. In the rain it is soooooo good, I had an white R33 GTST (dumped, big exhaust etc ) have 3 goes in the rain last week. First time he wasn't ready to get beaten, ooooops. Second time he tried too hard, wheeeeeeelspin but the Stagea was gooooone again. Third time he tried to slip the clutch to stop the wheelspin, bad luck, see yaaa.

Maybe if he hadn't lowered it so much, with too much negative camber and rock hard springs and standard shocks he might have stood a chance, it was toooo easy. Candies and babies comes to mind.:D

I had a crack against a commondore the other night, it was fairly even. i'm starting to want to same sort of stick as the skyline, but with the stability of the stagea. i love being a ble to dominate in the wet, but that extra 200kg is really noticable when trying to drag off people. 2nd gear also does it to me, it's a lot taller than the 2nd in the manual skylines, and the pickup in 2nd isn't as good as i'd like it to be

Have you removed the two stage boost? It makes a big difference in first and second.:rofl:

Yepp, same here. I'm starting to get the itch for a bit more power :)

The car was due to get the Unichip on Monday, but he over booked himself :rofl: now it's due in next Tuesday......

Also have to see the panel beater today :) Someone decided to go a bit wide when they were parking next to me and thought that they would use my passenger door to stop them :D

I STILL haven't given anyone a run.. It's raining today so I might see how she goes. But as you said Term, you can feel the extra 200kg..

When i bought the car it had a boost controller running 10psi, so it's not running the stock boost. just feels a bit flat when changing into 2nd.

I reckon its a gearing thing, revs drop HEAPS going from 1st to 2nd.

And SK, how to remove the "2 stage boost" ??

Whats impressive is the accel from 100 - 140, its pretty good!

Ahh, yepp. I can tell mine is dying for the boost to be wound up a bit. I'm still running the stock boost (5/6.5psi). It's hard to tell that it's a turbo car the power is that linear.

Nothing like my old R33 that only had ~170rwkw. You could really feel the turbo kick in, but the 4wd of the Stagea is really cool.

Oh, has anyone else done a 0-100km/h run and timed it yet ? Just curious to see what other people are getting with what mods etc.. I found out that mine was running NO timing advance !! Yepp, 0 degrees TDC !! Now it's got ~15-17 base timing and it feels much better.

I think Zoom or another mag quoted a 0-100km/h time of 8.5 seconds, but they are always pretty optomistic.

Stag vs RX7 SIV turbo = winner (even with all the windows down & A/C on....).

I don't think I'd take on an XR6T though - I leave those duties for my Z.

The 4WD factor is fantastic, you can really take off without attracting any attention at all!

dads had quite a few try against his one, i dont think he has lost yet

So he shouldnt. I wouldnt expect anyone to beat an 11 sec staj. I would take on an XR6T now with the extra boost, would be fairly close I would imagine.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
