there is a stagea forum on the SAU forums too, they also have a spotted thread etc.

They are nice cars, but the stock auto ones are pretty slow and VERY boat-ish.

I've yet to drive the Autech 260RS, but hopefully I will one day :(

I can give you a rough estimate on numbers... AutoWholesale are the only WA yard that is a RAW for Stageas, and they have bought in and complied and sold 28 so far. Plus there's another 4 or so that I know of (including mine) bought in from Eastern States... so Id estimate somewhere between 35 and 40 Stageas driving around in WA. Doesnt seem that many though coz I hardly ever see them out and about.

Have driven the 260RS at Autowholesale - very nice - but still very choked up due to emissions compliance - 2 x cats and 4 x pre-cats... so 3" it straight through, a few other basic mods and a bit of boost and they chirp all 4 tyres. For those that werent aware - Autowholesale this week knocked $10,000 of the price of that 260RS to get it out of the yard - so now $39,990 - not bad for GTR lovers with families or who dont want the attention a GTR gets - a 1997 4 door GTR for $40g - and talk about a sleeper!

And the standard RSFours are certainly heavy in stock form - but 1998 onwards came in manual or tiptronic - but with some similar mods as you'd do to a sedan Line and they can be alot of fun too... a few Stageas around oz at 250rwkw... and one in NZ running low 11 second runs :(

:P

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
