My New Stagea!


Recommended Posts

Howdy All

Just picked up my new fire engine red s2. I am seriously impressed with the power and driveability.

Was hoping you guys could help me out with a couple of things.

1. It looks like the previous owner must have disabled/removed the HID headlights as there are DIY wire joiners behined the bulbs. Is there any way to refit new HID bulbes, ballasts?

2. How do 18x 9.5 inch rims fit under rear gaurds? Was looking at

Manaray 18"

18x8.5 +46 5x114.3

18x9.5 +48 5x114.3

What do you think?

Car is dead stock ATM but am looking at doing a few low key mods in the near future.

Any help is appreciated.

Matt

Oh. I (and stagea) is located in Newcastle NSW

Very very nice, well done.

Ive got a Series 1 so cant offer too much advice about the lights, however with the mags, you MUST run same width front and rear - or risk stuffing the 4wd system.

18 x 8.5inch width should be ok front and rear.

Best of luck with it all !

Hey that was quick!

Cheers for the info. Ill have to try and find a matched set of rims.

One more question, does anyone know where I can get a hold of nissan central locking key fob? Car only came with one. Is there an aftermarket key that will do the job?

Also do S2's come factory with a 3 point imobiliser?

I dont know, but any half decent alarm system should do the central locking as well.

Kid flushed ours down the toilet (still bloody blocked too).

So yeah, we lost 1 x car key and 1 x alarm keypad

bought a new keypad off ebay but need it calibrated some how, could do with a new key, too

Plus Im a cheapskate and didnt pay that $20 the fella wanted to wire up the alarm to the central locking !

Hi Matt,

Nice work on the Stag!

You are going to need that 3 point alarm for insurance right? Well anything factory fitted won't cut it as far as I know, you will need a Black wired, 3 point immob, Aust standards approved alarm so don't worry about the standard key fob as you will have a new remote with the alarm and you can get more keys cut from a Patrol blank I hear...

Welcome and enjoy!

Cheers

Yeah I have cut 3 keys from patrol blanks, all work fine :starwars:

Oh and when I had my mongoose installed it rendered the stock central locking key useless.

Haha! You crack me up Brendan!!!

What type of alarm is it? I have a mongoose and the instructions you may need to program it in...

LOL

glad to be of service

ebay, $160 delivered, black wired full Australian insurance approved, called a Black Widow.

Ive got a new (cheap; ebay) keypad but I heard I had to go to Strathfield to get it coded correctly.

All in good time; probably go there and get them to throw in a DVD player (head unit only) to make it worth their while.

So you wont pay $20 to hook up the central locking, but several hundred for a dvd player just so you can get the keypad hooked up..... :starwars:

I have had a Black Widow before, they are pretty good from my ownership, never missed a beat, oh the batteries went flat in one of the remotes after about 3 years but that's pretty good I think!

thats right, as I'll sell the Clarion 180w tape head unit and 6stack Clarion CD player fo a cple hundred !

so a dvd player will cost me nothing, in essence.

anyone interested? I can assure you all that the CD player has never skipped and both units are in awesome condition. But for me 700mb isnt long enough - give me 3.7gig of pure trance, thanks !

Wheels

The other posts are correct for same width front and rear, but only if your car is a 4WD

If it is RWD, you can have different widths

The offsets you have quoted are wrong

Those wheels will sit too far in and most likely foul the suspension

You need something more like +35 on a 8.5 rim and 9.5 rim may just not fit

The biggest rim width most Stagea have on them are 9.0 +30 (33/34 GTR offset) and they run every close to sitting outside the guards

Headlights

These would have been zenon's from factory, but under compliance they have to be converted back to standard type bulbs. Unfortunitly you cannot convert the lights back to factory zenon bulbs, plus they are illegal.

The ATTESSA doesn't care about width of wheels/tyres, the only thing that it cares about is the diameter. They have to be the same front and rear.

Mine has 17 X 9 X 30mm offset, standard R33GTR wheels with 245/40/17 tyres and they are JUST inside the rear guards at 1.25 degrees negative camber.

As you can see they are just legal (particularly the rear);

:( cheers :(

PS; they don't rub, even with the race car on trailer towed behind

    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.
