Yudy,

Also I am sure the fuel tank in the Stagea is different to the GTR so the filter is different and the sump on the stagea is different which brad has mentioned Before during his GTR engine conversion so the oil filter probably is different and if they require genuine parts this may be added cost.

ok the sump on stagea rs fours, and gtr's and 260rs's are all the same identical part. oil filter is normal gtr size and same for a rb25 if i remember correctly (z145a is part no. on rb26, whats the rb25???)

so they are both same parts as gtr's and rs4's so no additional costs are needed over these other models.

hope it helps

Brad

Correct, Brad, the oil filter on the RB25s is also the Z-145a.

err guys wjpse part number is that Z-145a? is it nissan or ryco or wat?

Z-145A is a Ryco number. The easiest way to get the correct Nissan part (if your dealer has no idea what a Stagea is - most of them don't), is ask for one to suit an R31 Skyline.

ok thanks cruise!! I wonder how you know all this part numbers?!

cause im nissans best customer hahaha, ive got a couple of old oil filter boxes in my garage from my run in oil changes i been doing so i just went outside and grabbed it to get the no. i didnt have it stored in my head its abit of a big number to remember :)

i have spent more time in the past 12 months under/in/on my stagea than i sleep, that i could name a spanner size for almost any bolt on that entire car (dunno if thats a good thing or a bad thing though haha :banana: )

hahah, i have a timing belt change down to about a 30 min job which most workshops charge a fortune for, its something ive done about 5 times in a row from front cam seals leaking so i know what bolt sizes every single thing is hehe. engines been in and out minimum 5-6 times and gearbox seriously in and out 15 times atleast from sorting out clutch issues. i think i remove the engine like people do oil changes hehe.

ive almost given up on that car sooo many times but all the money and time ive spent i want to feel and see the end result before some other lucky bugger gets it for half of what its worth :D

and sorry to get offtopic mate, good luck with the 260rs i wish i had bought one instead of doing the conversion stuff around :D

thanks bud. Yea the reason why i bought the 260rs is i dont need to do much to it/ you know like conversion and stuff like that. ALthough i might be very tempted to get a whole new engine block though. Replacing the current one with weither A rb26Z2 which is tuned bt Nismo or by HKS or HRD. But i like to keep the specs original though. Plus labor costs are CRAZY!! now. Im sure you guys know about it. From economical point of view buying RS4s then upgrading it to a Rb26 actually costs more than a 260rs if you take into calculations of your time spent on it and the loss time(therefore loss of income).

But then again it all comes down to the amount of cash at hand when you buy the car. I used every single resources that i can get (not financing) to get the 260rs. Not trying to be smart ass but thats the way i was thought in my econ class.

Hope fully the car will come out from the compliance place w/o any hassles. I blew the budget by at least $500 at tleast at the moment. Im just waiting from my insurer to confirm wheter the current alarm system on the car is sufficient for them. If not i have to get a new set of oz alram system with immobilise installed. THis will cost me rougly $350 installed by the compliance.

Wish me luck man :D

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.

      Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
