After wrecking one tyre (price you pay for not paying enough attention to tyre wearing pattern :blush: and not checking it after getting the car from a compliance) I went to one tyreshop and they recommended 4 wheel alignment. They had 2 problems :

- they didnt have data for stagea in their computer, so they were going to use Nissan Z380 data

- they could not undo one nut, they didnt want to wreck it or damage bushes by hitting the nut, su they'we done nothing and they recommended me to go and see suspension workshop.

Now, they dilemma I am facing ... what do I do ? :D Should i just get the wheel alignment data from the forum, such as :

Ref wheel geometry, these settings are from SK's thread for his road Wagon "front rear toe =zero, front camber = 1 deg neg, front caster as much as possible, left side 0.25 deg more than right for road camber issues, rear camber 0.5 deg negative.

from http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/St...ment&st=440,

or can someone recommend a tyre shop in Perth where guys know something about Stageas please ? Or I need to go and see suspesion people ?

OR I get Blistein suspension, removed from my car doing compliance process (unknown condition, not sure if everything is there) and get it installed and get everything done after that ?

Any ideas, guys (and gils) :D - please share :P)

PS in any case - would be nice to know about tyreshops in Perth who are dealing with stageas...

Thanks mate, I should get (fingers crossed)back to Perth from lovely Kalgoorlie :blush: on Thursday evening, so if I have a chance I'll pop up to your shop (I recently moved close to Freo) for a chat or more then :D - free wheel alignment sounds tempting, heh ? :D)))))))))))

Edited by And
also wheels world do a great job of alignment/ sussing out suspension problems ..

great service.. but you do pay for it. they were about the only ones that ironed out my suspension problems in the old pulsar I had.

Wilkinson Suspension, Sean, knows my Stagea, (got HICAS lockbars too) also knows GTRs' so there are at least three mobs on the money.

cheers GW :D

PS: Take your Bilstein suspension bits with you, at least to get them checked for useablity?

my 2c.

    • From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.
    • Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.  
    • I don't know what globes/headlight connector they run, but I'd be looking for a female adapter to plug into the existing headlight on one side. Something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256017245989 Then I'd use a pair of single input, double output relays (one for low, one for high), mount them in a spare space in the fuse box if you want to to look more original (and be easier to maintain). Then 2 new power sources from the main stud in the fuse box via a fuse to each relay. Low from the headlight adapter pin triggers low relay and high from the high headlight adapter pin triggers high and low. Earth the relays and new headlight sockets and off you go. Because it triggers off the original headlight all of the dipping/hi on/high flash all still works
    • I reached 10 posts and wanted to make my build thread too but still can't add pictures to posts so I have no idea how it works 😂
