any1 giving away a 2 seater lounge??? wanna put 1 in my room, just bought the new HP touch screen computer n everything is wireless (mouse, keyboard) so i dont have to sit at a bloody desk all the time

from memory there we some seats in the for sale thread (dw just checked they were yours :ermm::P

hello everyone

;)

Ok just got back from Dyno. Boost controller having trouble holding boost as it spikes to 25psi and by the end its at 19.5psi.

1st Run wheel spun its titties off so Pete had to tighten the straps more (made 279)

2nd run right up the top off the torque range it lost traction again and the graph fell away (made 323.8)

3rd run the heat had set in but still managed 323.2 and still wheel spun a touch up the top of the torque.

If i can get the boost to hold more stable who knows possible. I will post the dyno graph in the RB25 upgrade thread sometime today.

I owe all this to AD (aka180or200)who has done an absolutely brilliant job on tuning my car. Your a legend mate.

Needless to say i'm stoked with the outcome.

yea and we got one person to thank for it.

Niel is only doing his job....if you have a defectable car then you run the risk of being picked up....it's simple....we have regulations there for a reason and if your car isn't within those regs then pay the price to get it fixed.

Thats one reason why I've removed the mod stuff from my Stagea. Even the exhaust which has a big muffler and tip is very quiet for its size. I took it to the exhaust shop 3 times until I was happy with its noise level. Still got the cat in it too, and fitted a larger resonator, even has a new O2 sensor to ensure its running clean. My car looks great with the body kit and thats about all I need right now. I have my bikes and track days if I wanna go fast.

Getting the silver S1 Stagea registered soon now I've replaced the waterpump, O2 sensor and timing belt. Engine and gearbox has been serviced. I'll be driving that around next month when the black S2 Stagea's rego runs out. The silver stagea is as stock as they come. I can't sell it, so I might as well drive it.

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
