While I'm waiting for my R34 brakes to arrive for the Stagea, I decided to remove the passenger mirror and hunt for any rust coming thru. Found some just starting and decided to rub it all back and treat it so it won't spread.

Two more weeks until Time Attack ... so in two weeks I'll need to fit the R34 brakes, braided lines, bleed the brake system thru with fresh DOT4 fluid, oil change, filter change, O2 sensor change, and a dyno tune.

:banana:

took me about 3 or 4 hours to slowly cruise through my r34 brake swap

pull the restrictor out of the 34 brakes and use your existing banjo bolt with both original copper washers without modification

the 3-4 hours also included going to get more brake fluid and bleeding everything twice and taking the master cyl out cos i got air in it

the thread on the stock rotors (to pop them off the hubs) is metric fine pitch, cant remember what size tho

Jason it`s a simple thing to do ok not hard mate at all ,front Rotor`s slotted may be RDA954S,& EBC DP1671 & there Black stuff ,you can look at yellow stuff your call,

Now all this about then not fitting ???? ,LAST TIME I WILL SAY THIS OK

I FITTED THEN NO MOD`S OK,

Searched and searched for rotor and pad replacement for S2 stagea!!!! Read through all 19 pages of stagea brakes! Waiting for response on hpx pads. Just been on Bendix site again.

they are also a site sponsor here, dont get the ar1m or you wil chew through rotors if your not getting them hot enough

ask them about the hpx's

and if you get them through sau they are cheaper

Fitted a boost controller today, Blitz SBC R. I don't believe the difference it made to the low end response, it seems to be on boost all the time now. :)

I checked the wideband higher up in the revs and it is running very lean, with a lot more punch. I had to drop the boost back down to a reasonable level until I can get to the tuner.

Wideband reset, torque converter lockup and petrol primer for starting on ethanol. There's still heaps of room for the ejector button though. :)

Stainless buttons are from Jaycar, they come in momentary or latching and are led backlit. (blue green and red.)

You got that in in a hurry!

(all those wires along that side made it too difficult to mount the buttons?)

"it seems to be on boost all the time now." - Statement to make Jetwreck more envious by any chance?

very pretty Scotty....red is gay though!!!!!!could have at least put some pretty screws there.....should have done the carbon fibre look ;)

only kidding bud....looks gay but good :P.....not that gay is a bad thing :)

Cam, might be envious of instant boost but at least I have some real boost all the time :P.......that's the only comeback I have! :D

Turned up last night, had to get it in... :D

How did we go with the exhaust leak mate?

Exhaust manifold. Have yet to rip the heat shields off to have a look, certainly hope I have not sheared a bolt/stud... although that would be an easier fix than if the manifold is cracked.

"Real boost" all the time? Oh yeah?... well... erm... (stupid f*ck'n exhaust leak) ;)

EDIT: Suppose I should actually contribute here.

Okay, well a couple of weeks ago I installed my lovely Nismo exhaust in leu of the Fujitsubo Legalis. Same design, different muffler lol

On Monday night I decided to change the aerodynamic abilities of the rear end of my car by installing a stealth black trailer :banana:

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
