  1. Hmm ok maybe that's just the way it is then. Will have a look for any inside air temp sensors though. Can't see it being easy to find is a c34 btw
  2. Hasn't seemed to make any difference to inside temps but have been in ranges of temps from early morning low teens through to low 20's
  3. Hey guys, just thought I'd see if anyone else has a similar thing going on with their climate control units. When mine is set to 18 (lowest setting) it is cold (fair enough) but then one click up to 19 makes it hot (too hot to keep on for anything over a few minutes) and then just gets ridiculous goog any higher. Just seems there should be a few 'in between' settings rather than just going straight from cold to hot on one click... Or is my climate control unit a bit messed up? Thanks
  4. Cusco brake stopper: Apexi pod, actually made induction noise a lot louder than I expected. Sounds great though Bought some inspiration:
  5. And here I was hoping these forums would be different to Ozhonda
  6. oh really? I was told by a few people that standard they are meant to be set at about 7psi and 10psi is the 'safe' boost to run daily on stock turbo. Boost controller is turned on, but i haven't tried playing with it yet. Need to download and read the manual
  7. Installed a boost guage and found out my car is running at 0.7 bar (10 psi according to google conversion) car came with an electronic boost controller so i am assuming thats what it is set too. WIll be taking the car into the workshop in the next week or so to get it checked out by someone 'in the know' about these cars. I am still a boost noob... lol
  8. Sounds like a plan. Looking for something that will do the job but not break the bank. Thanks for the info Lol can be bought new easily mate. Not cheap though So that is the price that sits above the coin trey and under the center console main triple din area? Thanks a lot for the info. Will Suss it out and see what I can find I have installed a single din head unit into the empty DIN slot in the center console under the climate control, it is just the section under that, above the coin trey that is the missing part. Thanks for the comments mate
  9. Good to know thanks mate, part number would be handy. Oh well I might have my info mixed up, but either way I am unsure as to weather the tune on the 'Mines' Ecu would be beneficial using our fuel or if it is actually loosing power. I guess the stock Ecu would be the same? Not sure really.
  10. Pm me your bank details and ill send you money and address etc Thanks mate
  11. Looking for the center console astound that go's on the lower section above the cig lighter/coin trey? Also the stock Ecu? Price posted to Victoria?
  12. Thanks mate. Haha sounds a bit rough but effective, if it works it works I have a lot to learn when it comes to modding this engine so will look into te dump pipe upgrade. Also have been told that the Mines Ecu probably isn't doing me any favors due to the fuel used in Japan is a lower octane level to here in Aus. So will be on the hunt for an factory Ecu
  13. Hey guys, just thought I would introduce myself to everyone on the forums. Just bought a late 98' Stagea RS4S as my new daily and am absolutely loving it. First AWD car I have evr owned and First turbo car I have owned. My name is Michael and to be honest, in the past i never thought I would ever buy a nissan. Have been a die hard Honda fan for the last 10 years and in the last few years also found love for the E30 platform. Was driving an e30 as a daily for a couple of years and enjoying it, but needed some extra space and wanted something a bit different. Also wanted something that wasn't going to get bogged taking it down tracks to surf spots, so AWD was a must. This one popped up in QLD of all places (i am in melbourne) was at an import yard called Motorman imports, gave them a call and they seemed decent. Put the money down and had it towed down here. So far haven't had any issues but will be getting it checked out at a workshop probably next week just to make sure it is all up to scratch. Anyway here it is: Engine bay: Boost controller unit: on surf trip down to apollo bay Center console when i picked it up, had a non functional double din suzuki headunit and the climate control was mounted down where the blanking plate is sapposed to be... Re-organised center console, but now there is a gap above the coin trey section. I am unsure what is meant to go in that space, i think it is a blanking plate of some description but not sure. Will be looking for the part that go's there though. Also, the factory tripple guage unit is extremely sensitive when it comes to the connection block at the back of it, with one small touch it will either not work at all or the lights won't work, or one of the guages won't work. The contact between the connection block and circuit board are a bit dodgy... Another surprise found when taking inspecting the car after picking it up, MINES ECU: Already picked up a few mods but won't be getting too out of hand as it is meant to be a fun practical daily as well as a surf trip car on weekeds new gear knob: Cooling pro stealth front mount kit: It's a 98' RS4S, came with the SR3 drivers seat, a Blitz NUR spec exhaust and some 'A tech final speed gear-r' wheels (never heard of them...) But then when i picked the car up and sussed it out properly, I found a Blitz Electronic Boost controller as well as a 'Mines' ECU and a turbo timer Had 82000k's on the clock and seems to be running strong. So far have bought some Thule racks for surf trips as well as a cooling pro stealth front mount and nismo gear knob. Plan is to up the boost to 10psi and get it tuned and that's about it to be honest. For now anyway. The AWD turbo platform will be a learning curve for sure as I have never worked with boost befor, but looking forward to the challenge Some of you guys might know me from seeing my trackcar at winton possibly, K24 powered EM1 that I built myself (still own it but it doesn't get out much these days ) My other project I have at the moment is my E30 Touring, it is my weekend/project car This was my daily befor I bought the Stagea, when it was at its best anyway: Anyway, good to join a new forum and looking forward to coming out on some cruises etc
