Hey Guys,

After talking to my Old man's accountant, we found out, that if I sell my Stagea within one year of owning it, I will have to pay capital gains tax. No thanks! ;)

Although I do have one way of getting around it :(

With the car landing in Brisbane on Tuesday, the countdown has begun...and of course, no countdown is complete without a shopping list :) Let the spending begin...

- CGC Highflow

- R32/33 GTR FMIC

- Split Dump (already has Fujitsubo exhaust)

- DFA / IEBC

- Auto trans. Cooler

- SITC

- Bodykit (Prob. DAYZ)

- S2 Rear Lights

- Clear Indicators

- Pioneer Kevlar Splits

- Pioneer Headunit

- Dual Pioneer 12" Subs

- Velor Re-Trim

Thats probably about it for starters! :D I want a manual, but dont think I can justify the cost of it :( Hoping for 13's with that gear. Lemme know what you think

Cheers,

Chris

BTW: I have a few interested people for the Stagea, we may just have a sale yet :)

Mate, cant justify the manual, but it will make the car much better

Ditch these parts and you can/will afford it

- DFA (save 100+tune cost)

- Auto trans. Cooler (save ~200, ditch when manual)

- SITC (save 250+tune)

- Bodykit (Prob. DAYZ) (save ~1k+)

- S2 Rear Lights (save 500)

- Clear Indicators (save 250-300)

- Pioneer Kevlar Splits (save ~250)

- Dual Pioneer 12" Subs (save 700 as you need amp aswell)

- Velor Re-Trim (save what, 1k?)

Thats about 4k in NOT(opinionated opinion) needed stuff!

Manual conversion

GB - 1500 with shifter and transfer

std ecu with plug - 350

master/slave/lines/pedals - 500

labour - 700 or so for 2 days turnaround

..... thats with 1k change from your 4k spending spree.....

BTW if you dont mind me asking, for an L plater, where does your funding come from?

Yeah thats always a topic for conversation B) My funding comes from the good ol' Golden Arches (yes yes McDonalds) I have worked my ass off for the past two years to be able to afford this stagea :( Plus I'm a crew trainer and I love working there, plenty of hours, OK money and loads of time to talk to your mates there :D

    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
    • @Rusty NutshI mate. Do you have a pinout diagram for the na neo auto ecu? 
    • Yeah thats the plan now. 🤞
