Looks great Chris.

I agree with everyone else, the Japan pics didn't do it justice at all... I even like the way the wheels look on it, even though I'm not a fan of Chromies on a Jap car (unless they're on a VIP-style car like a Lexus LS400/Toyota Celsior). At least they're still kinda a "racing" style wheel.

Next time it rains, ill try to get some action shots of my Stagea. I wish someone else could learn to slide my car, so I could see it from outside :D

I'll volunteer for that Alex. But only if I use your car, not mine... :D Bring on a wet track or skidpan!

Oh yeah, see if you can get some more pics on a concreted area, it should give you (and us) a better idea of the ride height balance, although in my opinion (so far), it looks to be spot on! :D

That's pretty much exactly how I'd lower my car - just so the guards perfectly outline the curcumference of the wheels and tyres, if you get what I mean.

Yeah, Im pleased with the ride height :) Will take some more pics when I get some time...

Currently getting some quotes for a black respray :) Will let you know how I get on. I attempted to tune the TV yesterday...Went better than expected! Could get sound and a very blury picture, apparently I need an amplified ariel or somethng similar to tune it properly

Hey Guys,

Got the intercooler installed and the boost upped to 10 PSI...

Now, I have promised my mate I would have a run with him once I did those mods, he has an FTO GPX Manual. Capable of 0 - 100 in around 7 Flat. Question is, will the Stagea do 0 - 100 in 7 flat? :D

FTO.....

BAHha HAh HAhHAh AHhAhHAhHA AH HAHHAHHA hAhHAhHAHH AHHAH HAhH AhHAhHAhHAHAH HAhHAhHAHHAHahhHAhHAH AhHAhAHhAHh AhHAh hahHHAhahhaHHAhahHAHAaaaaa!!

Sorry, but FTO that does 0-100 in 7secs is good, but what a girly car to mod, meh each to their own, tee he he he.

Just got home after what you could call a f**king hard run. One problem though, by the end of the drive, the car basically lost all boost :D Can anyone tell me what the problem is? Temp gauge didnt say is was above aveage, but pop the hood and wow! was it hot! Just a problem of temp? Or something more serious?

Ok, here is a test.

Go cain the balls out of the car right, like you did the other night. Then, stick your hand in the intercooler intake hole (if looking front on the car, bottom right corner where fog light would be) and have a feel of the core, at the OUTPUT end. If the core is hot on that end, it was heatsoak.

I can FEEL massive difference on my intercooler intake and exit pipes, like, ones warm to touch, the others chilly to the touch.

But yes, above method.

BTW you could be getting R&R with the car on 10psi. I find my car is faster on 7psi then 10, so 7psi she stays :)

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
