The stagea has arrived, and I got it rego'd yesterday! First question - where is the consult plug?? I looked (I think) in all the obvious places, and it has to be there somewhere.. :P

Yep, feeling a bit stupid, but would be happy for feedback (on where the plug is, not on my stupidity ;) )

The consult plug is on the right hand side of the steering wheel, the cover looks like a coin holder or little compartment, you pull that off and behind it is the plugs and some fuses - kinda neat how they make use of the space

Enjoy the Stagea

The Stagea is excellent - better handling, space, and go than I was expecting. Why anyone would buy anything else (if you need a wagon) is beyond me! :-)

I'll put some pics up if your interested - as it's in bayside blue (ie more noticable than silver/white) I've already had a few people come up and ask what it is.. :-)

Only problems so far (I've done 400Km in the three days since rego) is idiot drivers pulling in front of the 'slow' wagon - particularly at roundabouts..

Welcome to the blue Stagea owners club.

:P cheers  :)

Thanx. I think the wife will be driving it quite a bit, as I've got my R34 GTX tubo which I still like:) The ideal mom and dad cars if you ask me :P

Though, as I have commented above, it is surprising how well the stagea goes. They both have the same motor (NEO) and the stagea is 200kg heavier, so I'm pleasantly surprised...

OK, back to the thread topic :D The CONSULT port is definitely NOT on the right hand side of the steering wheel under the dash (where it is in the R34) - so it has obviously moved between a S1 and S2. Does anyone have an S2 and they have found it?????? It's got to be here somewhere!!

I had a fair look behind the coin tray and thought it was difficult to see behind it. It's quite easy to get to if you know where it is. To be precise, you need to remove the driver's side coin tray from the holder it sits in. It comes off quite easy, just wiggle it sideways and pull it out. What is revealed is the Consult Port and fuse area. With an ECUTalk consult cable, you can then connect it to the consult port and dangle off the bottom the adaptor's USB-B connector for future use and ease of access. You then replace the coin tray back in the slot and it should not buldge etc but fit in and work as usual. Also of note is the fuse label that tells you what fuses do what is printed on the back of the coin tray. It will most likely be in Japanese, but you can purchase a translated sticker which you can affix over the original print. (I think I remember seeing them on ebay before)

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
