I think so! Good thing about putting RB30 in Stagea is the extra height available compared to a Skyline. Also have FF plenum so all that stuff is gone from top of engine.

It looks like that turbo/wastegate setup sits about as high as the factory plenum.

Do you know if the factory plenum would fit if there is more bonnet clearance on the stageas??

I am not ready to embark on an RB30 build yet but it interesting to know. If you are able to check heights that would be handy.

I doubt the strut brace will go back on over the gate pipe..

Did the Tiptronic reversal today... not as easy as I thought cause of different interior, but got it done OK. Also found and vac'd some Jap dudes smoking ash in the console, and fixed that ever floppy gearshift top thingo.

Today i read error code P0345 from my m35 on the engine light.

P0340 CMP (Cam Shaft Position) Sensor (Phase)

P0345 CMP Sensor (Phase)

P0350 Ignition Signal

and thinking about how to get it sorted.... :S

if your car didnt get the recall fix (i dont know what M35 you have) then you should speak to the compliance place.

check your engine plate and see if there are any silver stickers on it with RXXX (XXX being numbers)

I have spares if needed

drove the stagea last night for the first time since i took a chunk out one of the nismo rims :- :P

but damn it felt slow.. sounded like it wasnt coming on boost at all.. like my turbo wasnt working at all. maybe im just too used to r33's boost now, i think that hiflow might need to be done sooner than later. :woot:

Looks the goods, Bob. Not a fan of the gate being plumbed though :P

Bubba, how much of a difference do the swaybars make on a scale of 1-10?

evidently thats a perth comment. if it was atmospheric itd be road legal for about 5 seconds.

awesome build though bob.. looks the good man.. can i have your 30 bottom end when your done :woot:

I assume you werent just babying it.. I cant recall your interior, I take it you dont have any PSI/Bar gauges? Not to sound too one eyed, but I wouldn't have said our cars were so slow that they'd feel completely un-boosted after driving an R33 around for a few days! Maybe take a 1.2L ford laser out for a couple of hours and then come back to the Stag :P

nah im being serious.. i think theres something wrong with it.. i wasnt being sarcastic.. i love my stagea.. the r33 is a piece of crap cop bait thrasher.. the stagea is my classy car... but aside from that .. it didnt sound right i couldnt hear the turbo whine at all. it was perplexing.. and didnt have its normal sting off the line. i was going foot flat to the floor with no one else in the car.

:P

good point though.. need to gauge it to see whats going on.. its the only car without them atm.

one of my mates refers to my garage as Skyrice , volvo and the turd runner.

(r33 , m35 and the sportivo turbo)

Managed to source a custom dump pipe, it arrived first thing this morning at my office all wrapped in bubbles. Now its sitting next to me, mocking me. Perhaps I should stop getting things delivered at work, it makes the day drag.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
