Hey guys,

Pleased to say I picked up my car today (Saturday). 2000 Stagea RS Four V. Interior is very clean, has the wood trim, leather and electric seats, proper floor mats, dual sunroof, triptronic auto with optional?? steering wheel shifters and got 18x8 BBS Rims (looks like the RX Monoblocks but not sure - maybe someone can confirm). Paint is pearl white, bodywork has a few minor nicks and a blemish on the drivers side front quarter panel (hopefully with a full detail can fix it but if it can't oh well). The importer had this or a silver one but the silver one has a factory TV and cloth trim but the clock says 68,000 but the engine has really done 151,000 where as my one has done 100,000 with full service history

Will post pics of the car when there is daylight

G`DAY JASON GOOD TO SEE ANOTHER STAGEA ON THE ROAD HOPE YOU HAVE A BALL WITH IT ENJOY YOUR MOTORING DUDE,LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING SOME GOOD PHOTO`S,GRAET STUFF DUDE CHEER`S chuckie.

Welcome to the Stagea Gang......

Another Prime edition.... nice to have all the extra's, (well I think so)....

BTW the steering wheel controls for the tiptronic are std in all series 2 cars.

Still a very special car, you'll enjoy it, for sure.

i want your rims!

Very nice car.

Sorry Ryan can't have 'em lol

One thing that I still can't believe is how quiet the car is. Had my best mate test drive the car and I couldn't hear it flying down the street. Now I'm going to install a 3 inch cat-back exhaust (got a 3 inch cat-back exhaust from a skyline sitting in the shop that would defiantly need modifying to go in my car)

Also I'm going to lower the car (set of King Springs - CBF for something like Tien Super Streets, I don't see the value for me). I'm thinking around 1 - 1.5 inches all around. Reckon that will look good and would that be legal in terms of ride height

    • 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 😂
