The full build up thread is over here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=98086

I wondered why the name change happened.  What's the background to this for those of us obviously not in the know?

i got banned for warning perth people about a couple of dodgy businesses operating and i never once mentioned the shops names, and a few mods on here are good friends with this shop and got abit shitty because their shops getting a bad rep.

the said workshop is actually a sponsor making it even worse, and 99% of perth people say they are the best shop in perth and they dont have a damn clue, they might get an oil change and think they are the ducks nuts, but any technical stuff and they just tell you they dont know what it is and take it home and sort it and bring it back for more dyno runs when i fix it, pretty smart business operations :cheers:

i dont want another ban so i better keep quiet about it haha, but only the wa mods actually care anyways, and this shop is also the ones who smoked the clutch packs in the transfer case on the dyno and then told me its the transfer cases fault and its jammed in 4wd they said, haha, they just dont have a damn clue and i cant wait for more stories from these "gtr experts"

also all the pics look the same now until i get the whole bay done, so ill wait till then :D

cheers

Brad

thanks ska, its not like i lied and made up a whole load of rubbish, i dont see y people shouldnt be able to hear the truth even if its not what they wanna hear.

too many people reccomend shops before they get any substantial work done and people then expect some skills/knowledge from the shop, but i got asked from the shop doing my engine block machining (same said workshop) for the torque specs on the JUN stuff, i deliberately let a gtr specialist workshop do it and they are asking the customer for torque settings <_<

i had about 5-6 major issues with them and they let me down so i beleive people need to hear the truth :)

thats what cruises are for, then i can open my mouth and start spreading the word :P

thats all on the topic from me

on a basic tune it managed 585rwhp on 18psi and 605rwhp on 22psi (misfire issues prevented anymore runs at the time), engine has just been finished again with more go fast goodies. This is only a pump fuel tune as well, more to come on c16.

is that you bendon? aka cruiseliner?>

Hi buddy!! where the hell have you been? Didnt you have another nickname before unique 1? Hows your rig?

Hey Yudy i been checking the forums pretty regularly i just dont post often anymore as i havent much to add and i like to keep a low profile for fear of another ban lol. I had the stagea going strong last february and it made the power mentioned above and then it melted 3 pistons and my head as well, so i lost motivation and left it sitting in garage until july and then i started to order bits and pieces for it, i just got motor in last week and its currently being run in again for the 3rd time in as many years ;) It seems all ok and im planning on keeping power down abit this time on pump fuel, around 500awhp will be fine for the time being. I have added some other bits and pieces to the combo so it should make more power on lower boost hopefully :(

Im still gonna run a 10 sec pass and i dont plan on quiting until i do, it was awesome when i drove it last time on 520hp and i dont think many cars on the street would touch it except gtrs with same or more power. The 4wd launches are great fun lol

So pretty much, for someone wanting to oneday stroke their car(tomei kit), rear end needs doing, brakes alround... the auto take much or is yours manual now?

-Ryan

yes Ryan its manual as well, which will be lucky to last long on this power and weight of the car but time will tell. I have pretty much a gtr driveline with stagea shell on top its costly to change over to gtr parts and i would reccomend to buy a 260rs from the start as it will save time and money. When i bought my stagea in mid 04, 260rs wasnt even compliable yet and cost a fortune at the time, plus i had the rb26 running gear from my last car.

How do you melt 3 JUN forged pistons on a sub-600hp tune with a T04Z?

Who the hell was tuning that? PM if you fear teh ban.

sub 600? 605 is more than 600 i think. I aint gonna tell anyone who tuned it as i remember the shit that went down last time i tried to warn people so illl just keep it hush hush.

Brad, what's the go with your car still not appearing in HPI magazine? I remember receiving the mag in the mail and seeing "RB26 Stagea" advertised on the cover, and then... Nothing... >_<

Ah, That's the 'jun powered stagea!' magazine I have on the coffee table: I was wondering whose that was. HPI messed me around with mine: wanted the car, got the specs,interviewed the workshop who did the work, spoke to the photographer for 2 weeks to organise a shoot, then....................silence. Not that it really bothers me, but it was rude.

Hey Nick, that was a stuff up from HPI (i think they mixed up the list of cars they had going in with ones they wanted featured in the future), they havent done anything since i spoke to Rick the WA photographer at motorvation last year. He said do a photoshoot just after the show last year but i wanted it tuned and makin good power and a drag time before they do the feature, so in the end the car shit itself before i could do it. I emailed Rick and he said let him know when its running again, but i still want those drag times and dyno figures, plus plenty of other bits (gtr front, rims, stack dash, etc) to add to the car before i think its ready for a magazine.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
