FAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKK !!!!

I think the GCG would be best suited, but apart from that then maybe the 2830 or 2835 size. The 30 may run out of puff but you'd have really strong mid range. I'd keep away from the no name turbo's. Almost all would be sleeve bearings and you really don't kow what your getting. Stick with a true Garrett/GCG I say. J

I think I just saw the same one Term. About 1pm today down near the Hyper D, Silver series 2 with nice mags and QLD plates. Nice 4 inch angled exhaust etc.. I only saw it from behind and I thought it was Prank until I saw the QLD plates. J

They make it look angry lol looks good.

I might have, I'll have a look when I get home tonight and post them up. Cheers J

Cool, thanks

The first methoud works well cause I tested it when I had my Stagea up on a hoist. I've posted pics and a how too somewhere, it was a while ago now though.. But when I had the car on the dyno I got them to pull the front shaft out just to be on the safe side. The last thing you want is a $3000 bill to replace the clutch packs

Stupid question, but how do you delete one of your own posts ? I clicked on the edit button but there's no option for 'delete post'. I'm cleaning up a thread that I started and just want to delete some of my old posts (pre upgrade). Cheers J

G'day Bassdude, I'll have to pull out of my order cause I've sold the Stagea Thanks anyway. Cheers J

Woohooo - thanks

No worries Tim. I remember the tuner telling me that he gave it a heap of timing when he tuned the Unichip (fairly aggressive tune), so I'd say that's is fairly advanced and may cause problems with the 95 fuel. The safety retard on the Stagea ECU's is very very savage, massive loss of power. If you disconnet the boost soleniod and run stock boost and the flat spot goes away or reduces right down then I'd say it's cause of the fuel. But also make sure the plugs are gapped down to 0.8mm. Sooooo the first things I'd do is; 1. rip the plugs out and make sure they are at 0.8mm. 2. if that doesn't stop the flat stop, unplug the boost soleniod and see if helps. 3. get the Unichip retuned. If the Unichip get's retuned, think about getting it tuned on 90 RON fuel, he'll be down a bit in power but at least he'll be able to use just about any fuel so he'll save money in the end. J

Ahh, just re-read your post. Missfire was before the service. Yep, check the earth wire that I discribed above and make sure your using 98 RON fuel. Even though it uses the Unichip it still uses the factory knock sensors, so if your using 90/95 RON fuel it'll knock/ping and go massive retard on the timing.. Disconnect the factory boost soleniod and it'll revert back down to the 5-6psi and I dare say that the flat spot won't be as bad. A retune of the Unichip (for lower RON fuel) should only be $200 or so, they'll just need to pull some timing across the whole range etc.. J

G'day Tim, Hmm, miss fire.. When you say it had new plugs put through it do you mean they left the near new Iridums in it that I put in, or did they put new plugs in when he had the service done ? What your discribing sounds like the typical plug gap too big problem. If they put new plugs in at the service I dare say that's the problem. I bet they just slapped the plugs in and didn't gap them down to 0.8mm. Also, if they put new plugs in it I'd be asking for the Irdiums back cause they were about $140 and only 6 months old... The missfire won't be anything to do with the Unichip. The Unichip hasn't missed a beat since it was installed. A few months ago I had a loose earth wire on the coilpacks which caused a coilpack not to fire, but it wasn't firing right through the rev range, then within 10mins all coilpacks wouldn't fire. Ended up being an earth wire was a little loose !! They tightened the bolt on the earth wire about half a turn and it was perfect again !! Amazing how a little wire can stop the car !! The earth wire that was loose is (when your at the front of the car looking at the motor) at the back lefthand side of the motor. I think it was two or three wires together on one brass lug bolted down to the head/mount. Also, what fuel type have you got down there ? The Unichip was tuned on 98RON BP Ultimate, so I'd stick to 98RON fuel if you can. If not, disconnect the factory boost soleniod which will bring the boost down to about 5-6psi until you can get the Unichip re-tuned to the lower RON fuel. I wasn't aware of the cracked exhaust manifold The tuner that I used to service her never picked it up either Must have been in a hard to see spot or something, but let Phil know that I wasn't aware that it had a crack... I hope that helps, I'm happy to help out anyway that I can. Cheers J

Just for info, when I wired the Unichip up on my old Stagea I had to tie pins 44 & 45 together, then run it through the Unichip. Not sure if you'll need to do the same with the SITC though. Both 44 & 45 are marked as "Crankshaft position sensor 120 degrees (REF) signal". Not sure why there are two wires doing the same signal, but there is... J

That'd be great if you could find out for me. As long as it'll last a while and not have any major problems passing rego it'd be perfect. Drop me a PM if he is keen. J

thanks, I think I've got no car at all now, and Saturday looks like it'll be rained out so I might not get a chance to check out all the car dealerships Looks like the bus for me for a while... J

Yep, getting pretty rare here now.. I wanted to catch up with you and Term' for a few pics before I sold her, but it happend way too quick Maybe in a few years you'll see me in a 260r J

Spotted: My Stagea driving down the street without me in it !! Sold her on Wed night But she'll be looked after. J

G'day Marc, Yep, Andrew is right, it's off to Tassie I was expecting it to take about 3-4 months to sell but it was snapped up in just under two weeks from when I put the for sale post up !! It had a full NRMA inspection on Monday morning, price agreed on Monday night and he flew up on Wed. Because it went so quick I'm left without a car hence why I'm after a little bomb for a few months. Thanks Leigh, yep I'll be hanging around the forums for a while, and if you see someone in a heap of crap car wave at you then you know who it'll be J

Spotted : My Stagea driving down the road without me in it !! Sold it last night sad to see it go but it'll be looked after well. So, anyone got a $500 crapbox with rego they wanna sell ?

The Stagea is now sold.. Sad watching it drive away

I've got mine up for sale Follow this link http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=76956 There's a heap of big pictures there as well. Cheers J

Guys, what's the deal here. OC is just like the rest of us and is a skyline/stagea lover, and he is lucky enough to be a situation that he can get one soon. OC, BTW I saw a R32 Golf yesterday. Damn fine cars if you ask me ! J

G'day, I would consider a trade (+ $ adj) for a N/A hatch like a 99/00 N15 SSS or a SP20 etc. I'll need to keep running costs down, so another import or a turbo car is out of the qustion J
