Help my fellow Stagea pilots I have a stuttering Stagea. My car is a 97RS4 of low ks only mod K&N filter, when I get to my cruising speed 80-120ks and ease back on the gas the car starts to stutter as though its missing, starved of fuel, etc but this can be overcome by applying more or less throttle until it does it again which becomes tiresome on a journey. I contacted a known Skyline/Stagea expert on the Gold Coast, I live in Hervey Bay, who recomended I disconect the pipe coming from the throttle body to the charcoal filter at the filter end and it worked but alas the stutters have returned so I need help as no one up here has a clue, only recognise Fowlcans and Commondores.

Cheers Gez

Hello Gerry......hello Newman...

Time to fess up gerry - you know it's the rev limiter you are sitting on.

So back off a bit.

Q. Last I heard the record time between Hervey Bay and Maryborough was 7.5 mins on a FJ1100 set by one of the Anderson boys. Has anyone beaten that yet?

Muck looks like you could be on to the cause of the stuttering Stagea problem. Spoke to a Subaru mechanic and they are highly sensitive to tyre size, its to do with the centre diff so will check rolling circumference and he also suggested changing g/box oil also a problem on certain cars. will keep you posted cheers Gez

Gerry, go to the local Toyota dealers workshop and ask if Stuie still works there. He is a wizard with all things nissan and turbo. I couldnt recommend him enough, his rates are good too - carton of suds will fix it up.

Cheers,

Ken

    • I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔
    • Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?
    • Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!
    • So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.  
    • Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
