Stagea Axis Nm35

[NRVOUS]

I can't compare the Hawk's (HPS) to anything other than stock brakes but they are definatley better than stock and lots less dust. I managed to source mine over the net and bought when the exchange rates were better. Managed to get 2 x fronts and 1 x rear for $270 Aust, I noticed now that the fronts are $97 US before freight and then the exchange rate, ouch.

I have to get some new pads for the r32 GTR calipers that are about to go on. Any suggestions?

Cheers

Andy

So what do you want for the front HAWKS???

Andy my brother has some Ultimates on a wicked R33 GTST with stock 4spot Nissan calipers, braided lines & for a car punching 368KW at the rear treads they hauled OK.

I have someone else deciding if they want to buy the spare set I have at the moment. If he decides not to buy them you will be offered first refusal. I am selling them for $95 Aust.

Thanks for the Brake Pads Andy, great to meet a fellow enthusiast....should have the new slotted rotors in 2morrow & the car back on the road.....might even have the opportunity to meet up on Thursday evening with the rest of you.....if anyone is keen.

Now the only thing left to do is lock in some Dyno time & start mapping!!!! Did anyone attend the dyno day at Unique last weekend???

PS. Just saw a dear friends new Ride!!!! Wow Premium Silver R35 GTR, spectacular machine......Wonder if the VR38DETT slots into the STAG

I was at the dyno day, TT, but I didn't put my car on the dyno. I was out there mainly to hlp out and sell some SAU merchandise, etc.

Typically, I was the only Stagea owner there. I'm guessing Alex would have come along, but I think he had prior commitments.

Damm rotors didnt arrive today so looks like they'll be in 2morrow & some bedding in is called for gents.....how many of you go through the Old Pacific HWY when heading up North?

[GoldZilla]

There's usually quite a few who do the Old Pacific. I usually head up the freeway, but seeing as it was "zei201" Ian's first time on the Coastie cruise, I went with them on the Old Pacific last week too. It's been resurfaced in quite a few areas, so it's quite nice to drive now.

Is there another road other than the old one......I heard that only Volvo's take the new one!

I will defiantly be on the Old PH.....hopefully I can control myself this time

[zei20l]

yeah the old pac drive isnt bad at all compared to the old surface! im happy to go either way. if its raining ill take the freeway

Hey Tony, How are those new rotors and pads going?

Any news on the programing of the ECU?

Hi Andy,

The brakes work a treat...New set of slottled RDA rotors, the front HAWKS ,fresh Brake fluid and give the calipers a coat of heat resistant paint.....she's good as new!!!!

I spoke to the tuner today and he still needs some time before he's willing to work on the AXIS....this guys pretty meticulous and doesnt take any short cuts, if he could get his hands on a donor ecu that's willing to be sacrificed in the name of R&D....this would definitely speed the process up for all of us and explore greater avenues like potentially remapping shift points on the Gearbox.

Doing a piggy back is no problem....but there is more to be had with the remapping of the stock ECU and he's very confident there are good gains to be had.

To give you an idea he tuned a stock BMW 335i TWIN TURBO to 237RWKW.... remeber these came out with 225kW and 400nm at the flywheel, so we should potentially see between 180-200kw at all fours....time will tell!!!!

[GoldZilla]

Care to share any info on who your tuner is, NRVOUS? Even by PM, if you prefer...

[andy65b]

Brakes look good Tony.

Patience is not a problem. Looking forward to seeing some results in due course.

Cheers

About 132awkw is what I got my car dynoed, fully stock with no power mods.

Btw Tony, have you put in the cooler yet? I'm keen to see how the tune went as well too

Hi Eugene,

Any reason why you had the car dynoed in 3rd gear?

The intercooler wasnt a straight fit, there was some trimming of the reo bar needed for it to fit nicely.....there's no real noticable gain but we'll find out stats soon enough once we start mapping which unfotunately is taking a little longer than expected.

Some pics of the provisonal mounting of the cooler

Looking good.

Hey Tony,

To be honest Im not sure what gear they did the dyno, I never asked them about this.

And the cooler looks great. I've found in the past with my other cars (S15 and GT-R) that you've got to trim the reo bar and also the front bar as well. Now that I'm putting a fatter GReddy drag cooler into the gt-r, i'll need to trim more.

Good luck with the mods and tuning. I can't wait till you post up the results!

Btw, I need to get a new exhaust as my stock one is starting to fall apart. Can I ask what Fuji system you have on yours? Is it a Legais-R?

thanks

Yep its the Legalis R.... Once everything is ready to go and we can start mapping, I'l also get a few other Vq25det Stagea owener to do a power run so we can compare results off the same dyno.
