stagon

Hi all, I have the opportunity to pick up a R32 GTR box cheap however it is only the front and missing the torque converter ( I think that is what it is called) is it possible to use the torque converter of my auto box???

are you interested in selling manual conversion parts and if so what have you got?

how much lower do the springs make the car sit.

on the dyno we were checking fuel ratios and up to was getting towards the lean side. 12.5 i think the reading was. i dont fully understand how it all works but i have told the bloke i dont want to boost it up and have a fast car that lasts a couple of months. my car dosn't feel frinnished at the moment. only feeling the pull of the turbo from 4000rpm onwards. mechanic wants to get it back on the dyno and check fuel rail pressure, timing etc to make sure car is running safe. he was talking about fuel cut defender and other stuff that is going to go on the stag. what is a SAFC and what does it do and how much does it cost because it sounds like i need one?!!??!!

got my stag on dyno today. 157.8 rwkw on 0.5 bar of boost. mods are FMIC, pod filter, 3 inch exhaust and bleed valve and vQ turbo. didn't get to wind boost up as a funny smell started coming into car. mechanic thought it was coming from trans so we stopped for today. all looks good for 200 kw on 1 bar but have to sort out a few problems first. still dont know why only feeling the pull of the turbo at about 4000 rpm has any one else found this problem. has it got anything to do with the car being auto???

got my car back on saturday. ran out of time for dyno so it will be getting done tuesday night i hope. some issues with car. feels like it is not getting the correct amount of pull down low. disconnected factory boost controller so i have less boost down low at the moment. as wasn't put on dyno kept boost stock to be safe until it is on the dyno. pull up top is amazing and boost gauge is only reading 0.5 bar so when we wind it up to 1 bar it should be sweet. having problems with getting cool air in the air pod. have fitted factory scoop above the radiator and crappy cool air induction system to help it for now but i need to make a cool air box. just want to wind boost up and see what power it is making. had a drag with my BRO AND BEET HIM IN A R31 WITH RB20 so was happy about that. (he was devestated) put power figures up later in the week.

hi guys, just looking for a quick answer. is there any difference of using a r33 or r32 box when doing the conversion. i know one is push and pull but if i use the cheaper r32 box to keep costs down in the future am i going to wish i had spent more $$ and used a r33 box?

have been told VQ turbos are rare. getting it done next tuesday. hoping to get around 200 rwk with 1 bar. getting it on the dyno as well so will be able to see the improvement. i hope !!!

spoke to mechanic last week. the vq turbo is off a new 3L V6 engine which i think is in a 350z or car like that. he has put one on a r33 before and got 225rwkw on 12pound boost and all he had to do was run 12v back to fuel pump. getting it done next week and putting it on a dyno be able to tell you what power the stag will make. i hope it will be around 200kw

215 sounds good. the bloke has told me that using the turbo he has got 240 rwkw out of a R34 but said that is the absolute maximum. the price is 600 change over and he will use the exhaust housing of my turbo so it will all bolt straight on. are there after market computers for autos without getting say a microtec system wired in. like a power fc

hi all, looking to get 200 awkw current mods are full 3inch exhast, k&n pod, and big FMIC. i have been told that upgrading my turbo to a VQ turbo off an R34, bleed valve and winding boost up to 12psi and i will have around this figure. to me this sounds too good to be true. has any one used a vg30 turbo or VQ R34 turbo on their stags or is it better to get an after market brand new turbo.

I have seen that a few people have been getting a twin dump dump pipe for their stageas. I am looking at getting an exhaust this week and wanted to know whether it is worth getting a twin dump pipe system or just sticking to the 3 inch single dump. I know of someone making one and putting it on a wrx and have said they have gained a considerable amount of torque. Has anyone hade a single 3 inch and replaced it with a twin dump pipe set up??

took head unit out today. put a converter in so i can get fm channels (easy to do with good results). heaps of wires at the back tried plugging ipod into all of them. cant seem to get it working. when i get my alarm put on i will get the guy to have a look at it for me. currently i was using a 3.5 - 3.5mm cable and putting it in audio in. cant seem to be able to find an aux channel to run it on. have a cd/vcd stacker i want wired in as well so i can play cd's and hopefully watch movies on screen. if not deck is going in bin!!

hi guys, what is your opinion on running the intercooler piping back under the cooler and up the same side as the air box. i have been told that in order to run it up the battery (driver) side i will have to install a smaller battery facing longways. As it is an auto dont want to run out of charge and have to get jump started. as i have already purchased cooler with pipe goung out either side do you think the bend back under the pipe will be too restricting?

not sure how to put a picture up. just audio in and video in on side of screen. will check under seat to see what i can find. im sick of listening to AM radio thanks

here is a picture. i have a navigation system. could this be using the AUX channel. as it is no good to me i am going to disconnect it?

Hi all, just wondering if there is any way of hooking up an i-pod to the stock TV Nissan decks. It has an audio and video input at the front but I can’t seem to find a channel to run it on. Might have to change deck but want to waste money on engine mods first!! Any suggestions?
