i can say we have 3 stageas with "gtr" drivetrains

2 have rb26's

1 was a rs4s (used for parts)

but personally i feel we have 1 with a 260rs drivetrain (hey, its factory fit isnt it), and one with a gtr setup (thats where it was transplanted from)

hey thats nothing ...there all gtr drivlines over here...

going to pick my datsun 180b wagon "bathurst edition" tomorrow.......car use to belong to Jimi Richards ..the salesman told me...and guess what it has attessa 4wd system,fitted by fred gibson motorsport...again the salesman....and as others have pointed out we can call our cars anything we want over here ,,so for me it has a gtr driveline as well

so that will make 4 gtr drivelines for me ...1 stagea ,1 datsun 180B and 2 r32 gtr`s ...

although 1 of the gtr`s has the attesa system and hicas disconnected...so technically that gtr doesn`t have a gtr driveline...:confused:

Its kind of like the people who own a Nissan Bluebird SSS ATTESA.. "Oh its got ATTESA, like the GTR".. in actual fact it is completely different.

Its kind of like the guys who drive Pulsar GTiRS, saying "Its a GTR Hatchback!"

Its kind of like the guys who drive R33 GTS-t's with GTR body kits..

I say call a spoon a spoon.

Spoon, don't they make performance parts? :(

its kind of more not like gtir saying its a gtr hatch back

Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All-Terrain

saying a sss blue bird has attesa like a gtr is a true statement

both cars have attesa . they work completely differently but meh .

who gives a f**k how you get the message across . everyone says shit differently . look at all the people who dont know the difference between boost threshold and lag

I'm willing to bet the stagea ATTESA is a lot closer to the system in a GTR than a GTIR/bluebird is. The GTIR is a fairly different setup as far as I remember.

The stagea being originally based on a skyline would mean the GTR's AWD system would've been an obvious choice. I was of the belief that the systems are mechanically about 95+% the same but with the ATTESA computer tweaked for the wagon usage.

The system on the s1 & s2 was from the R33 GTR I believe. Not sure on the M35 but I'd say it'd be more similar to previous stageas too. None of these would be comparable to the R35 GTR though.

Wow, after 4 years you'd think this thread was dead :)

I read on the wiki pages that Bluebird ATTESA (really ATTES) is non-electronic and uses a centre diff' (think about it... it's a transverse-mounted engine)

Hey

Hope you have fun in your Stagea! I have had mine about 2months now and i have had sooo much fun...

    • Yes correct. Also, I'd avoid applying it to soft paint (however I doubt you'll ever have to deal with it in practice). So any paint that hasn't fully hardened, could be a 1k paint that never fully hardened or it could be a 2k paint that was laid down thick and hasn't yet fully hardened. 
    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging. Cheers 
    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
