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.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
