Ok people easy question i think for you guys.

Now for us who just imported cars from Japan as all of us in some does it. Cos Nissan dealers dont sell Stageas in Oz. So i gues everyones car in this forum were being imported at on stage in time.

I have been hearing alot from people (not from this forum) saying that if we just imported a car from Japan it is advisable to detail our cars especially on the underbody. Due to the time spent at sea and the stuff they used to disinfect the car before leaving Japan. Somebody mentioned this in the forum cant remember who is it.

Is true that we have to detail our car once we got it?

ur right, Yudy. Some suppliers use very stong chemicals.

The underneath of my car has a film of fine rust on the unprotected parts. Also the parts that were cadmium plated are rusty because the chemicals ate the cad. off. I also suspect that the same stuff may have gotten into my rear bearings as they have a bit of a growl. Someone else had bearing problems, it maight have been AMS or Tangles. Not too sure but if someone out there has had these problems, please post

I have had no issues in that area, under my car there is no rust. I think the under car rust is more likely to be from driving on salted roads in Japan (they use salt to break up the ice). Check it and if there is an issue get it fixed, if not driving in the rain will give it a good wash underneath so I wouldn't get too carried away.

Cheers

yeah i had wheel bearing problems. they're easy to fix, you just have to get new ones :) it cost me a bit as my mech had trouble matching them, but in the end we found the part numbers, they're in the stagea parts post.

What brand did you get for your whee; bearings? And how much you paid for it? Other than than any other problems in the underbody such as find rusts ETC?

here we go. standard nissan wheel bearing kits:

Front are $210, Rear are $259. this is because the rears have an assembly unit that comes with them.

If thats a pasir its not too bad, but if each its a lot

      AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.

      I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better.

      2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)

      OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
