Bit of a long story but my car has gone from the workshop to a tuner who has installed the G4 Link and is going to tune it tomorrow. He is a top tuner and has built a seven second R32 GTR

but he was complaining that he was having to take his M35 Stagea to NZ's most famous GTR tuner because he has the software to crack the ecu but its all in Japanese. I will try to find out more and keep you informed but it could be good news for Kiwi V35 and M35 owners. Soichi used to work for Nissan and travels back to Japan regularly so I don't know how he came by the software and whether he will onsell it (maybe to someone like Toshi). Will let you know.

Good weekend for the Stag...

New front rotors arrived, courtesy of my new friends at DBA. DBA 4000 series rotors with the new Clubspec T3 slotting:

Not going in until the BCs arrive, probably just before the SA cruise :thumbsup:

And no more pirate spec, got one of my new spot lights in:

Thanks to Simon Michelmore for giving me a hand working out the mounts for it. Ended up clearing all the broken glass out, and drilling into the old plastic mount to screw into the standard Narva bolt holes. Worked ok, not ideal. You can also see in the above photo that there's a fair gap around the light, so now I'm thinking maybe a set of squid rings to fill the gap?

Has transformed the front end:

Before I do the other one, I might move the light forward slightly so I can angle it up a bit. Also have to find a better spot to mount the HID ballasts.

Anyone happen to have a broken fog light I could grab? I need to break the light to make my mounting setup work, and rather work with an already broken one if possible?

Oh, and I stuffed up and turned the car to 'ON' (without firing) with the AFM disconnected... so guess who has to remove the check engine light this week? >_<

Why do you have to remove the check light? Can't you just reset the ecu by disconnecting the battery?

Well I've seen the complicated procedure on here, but to be honest last time disconnecting the battery worked. Won't be too hard either way, plenty of threads on here.

Fair enough then, I thought it was either full reset, or just wait for the ECU to see the AFM enough time to reset itself.:blush:

Really?

If its going to reset itself i cbf playing with it!

Not a problem with the help....I've run out of things to do on my car and yours is the closest to me! :P

On other news I got my head pretty much around your HKS Kit....hopefully I will get a good nights sleep tonight now.

I have half a HKS turbo kit here, it looks like my V band setup has much better flow, how do they expect the wastegate gasses to flow through that u turn on the adapter mate?

I got my Brembos on, the caliper had about 10mm of clearance from the 17's. It looks great with the braided lines but these are a pain to bleed, I drove down some corrugated dirt roads to try and get all the air bubbles to the top and re-bled but they still feel spongy. Any ideas?

Got a bit done today; New Plugs fitted, new passengers side rocker cover gasket, and an oil & fiter change. A little oil in the rear plug recesses on the passengers side; but not too bad.

Also slipped some hardened washers under the Plenum bolts, as the Cap Heads had abraded the alloy a little.

Recieved my pack of 8mm rivet clips from Hong Kong and replaced a bunch of cracked trim clips.

Time to look at my Brake Upgrade again I think...

hey this sounds familiar....:whistling:

We bled mine twice right? Or was it 3 times?

I just drove em for a while and they firmed up...

Too familiar, the rears were fine but the fronts were re- kitted, as such they were empty. I think the pistons hold a little air around them perhaps? I didn't let the master cylinder empty at any point...

When I got my Stagea, the aftermarket front bumper was cracked badly and generally in poor condition. Over the weekend finally finished painting up a stock RS4 front bumper and slapped it on this evening. Didn't make it glossy enough, but still much better than the cracked bumper.

Time to look at my Brake Upgrade again I think...

What a week full of brake upgrades!

Very happy with mine. What are you planning on doing Dale?

fitted my 7 watt cree led reverse lights today.i cant belive how bright they are! on the box it says dont look at light within 1.5 meters what a load of shit......more like 5 meters!

Dude share the link. Me want!!!

you have to mod your lights at the back of them abit and also cut the plugs of and join the wires to the led itself but its very easy.i got them of ebay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/160607562766?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
