Greetings :D

Recently purchased myself an RS4 series 2 Nismo in black. Loving the car! :D

Only 33K kms on the clock. Drove it 1700kms from Sydney and it ran like a dream.

Already fitted SatNav, TV tuner, DVD player and sound system for entertainment.

I've got a T3/T4 hybrid turbo coming for it, as well as a front mount intercooler kit, hi flow dump pipe, 3" system.

Will be unichipped and dynoed for good 'useable' power.

But I gotta stop spending money on it soon LOL :D

hello and welcome!

the black with the gold mags looks excellent!

and 2 stageas in the family hey? do your parents own an oil rig?

No. No parents who own an oil rig. I stopped living off mummy decades ago LOL

What? A guy can't have enough money for 2 RS4s? :laughing-smiley-014:

I have a decent paying job and no bills to worry about ... so my money go towards my toys!

As well as the Stageas, I have a Suzuki Liana GS sports model (car) ...

And my bikes are GSXR600 race bike (for sale), a Suzuki TL1000R modded and as a Rizla Suzuki replica, and a beautiful Italian ... MV Agusta Brutale.

I think I have too many toys :D

Welcome aboard! TWO Stageas is bound to bring a lot of enjoyment, and when you add that nice lot of bikes it can't hurt.

You almost ruined it with using "Liana" and "sports" in the same phrase - that's a big No-No - but we'll let you off this time. :D

The Liana was a very good car given today's petrol prices, but it wasn't enough "fun" :D But if I had to own one, it had to have sports suspension and bodykit so it at least didn't look too "girly" LOL

So I thought bugger the fuel prices ... time to own another fast car! :D

Here's a pic of the Brutale ... pure italian beauty and engineering ...

Sold the Liana anyway as I crashed my bike and broke my shoulder some 5 weeks ago. No way could I drive a manual.

Now the shoulder is healing and I can drive a car again! :D So I'm driving the RS4 when I can.

see we arent the only ones that buy one stagea and then just have to buy another :)

Welcome looks like a really nice example of a stag ;)

Thanks Kirstie! The Stag is an excellent car. I had intended to buy one from an importer and resell it locally for a bit of $ and then buy another one to keep. But I purchased this one and fell in love with it. And at 33,000kms only and such top condition, I had to keep it.

So now I've bought another Stagea to drive for a bit and then sell to a friend :whistling: But I'll probably end up keeping this one too :laughing-smiley-014:

There's a few friends of mine who are into Stageas. We've already been on a few cruises. We gotta get a "Stag party" happening! :)

beautiful bike :) im a big fan of MV Agusta - especially the F4 CC

You can't go past the beautiful engineering of these things. I admired these bikes for years ... now I own one. :)

Very nice looking Stag you got there, I agree the black and gold looks sweeet. Very low k's too, thats only 3300 km's a year, which is around 8 tanks of the expensive petroly stuff a year. I've only had my stag a bit over a week and filled her up twice already! :whistling: Just keep an eye on things like seals because with such low km's they would have a tendency to perish over time.

Reuben, the car is rego'd in NSW, but are you taking it back interstate, or do you live in/around Sydney (I can't recognise any of the spots in your photos, and can't make out what state is printed on the number plates either)?

      I'd need to check my notes at work Duncan, but I'm pretty sure most of that is purely OBD2 on the display. How quickly is it all able to update? Do you have any internet capability in your workshop with a laptop?

      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.
