Hey guys and girls,
Sold my r33 skyline and bought a stagea, wanted one from the first day i ever seen one on the road.
Basically im doing power upgrades to my stag and would like some input and help from those who have allready gone down the same path as what ive done and where im going.
Here are a few pics of the car from when it come over from japan to the current day now........
I have got fitted a front dump pipe where the wastegate feeeds back into the pipe further down a nisstune board from matt at nisstune, a just jap intercooler kit. My mate anthony at adelaide jap fitted this kit, the car then went to jaustech to get the nisstune tuned.
the car was tuned at 169rwks i think that was at 10psi, i was hoping for like 200rwks or close too. I was a little dissapointed, found out the auto trans eats up alot of power, after driving manuals all my life i said my next car after a manual was to be an auto.
That means i can drive lazy and that my other half can drive the car safely, also cut back on my sliding all the time an doing power launches. meaning i have finaly grown up. Least i now can not worry bout cops so much. Im going to stick with the auto trans in the stag....
I have just recently bought a kenobi high flow cat rated at 200 cpsi as well as a standard t3 turbo with high flow internals, gt 30/76 apparently, was running on a skyline. Bill at ATS hooked me up through a boostworx customer, this customer got the turbo high flowed 4 months ago through ats. Now he has sold the turbo to me he is looking to get a GTX 30/76 with external waste gate.
The turbo is getting sent back to ATS as we speak to get a longer snorkel, does this sound right for the stageas to have a longer snorkel? Or is bill trying to rack up some more money?
Once i get the turbo back boostworx will fit the turbo an retune the car and also throw on my high flow cat, and probly get rid of the ressy after the cat an before my muffler. Might even have to get rid of my jap muffler if it stops the flow through my zorst.
Might even get some injectors thrown in and a better fuel pump at the same time, i have got a z32 afm with plug lying around waiting to go on.
So far here is a break down on what i have spent, this is not to show of but to find out if i have payed to much or to little for somethings and to get your input on things i may have bought instead.
$210 Z32 AFM with plug
$370 Dump/front pipe with fitting
$800 Nisstune with a tune
$739 FMIC with fitting
$182 High flow cat
$1100 High flowed turbo 30/76
