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.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
