What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

I wouldn't bother mate. If you are dead serious about power, then get a different (3inch) muffler welded on the end and keep that Muffler. But I would suggest if you don't have a high flow turbo, piggyback, etc etc, I don't think the exhaust will be that big a deal. I'm only going by the Mods in your Sig. Do you really want it louder? Doesn't seem like it has any muffler to it anyway!

Fitted Tein S-Tech springs in my series 2 RS4S yesterday. Was hoping for the 1.5inch drop that they claim but it's only dropped about 10mm in the front and practically nothing in the rear. Just hoping it'll settle down a bit over the next couple of weeks with driving. It's definitely stiffer though.

Went to drive it for the first time in 2-3 weeks, found the battery was flat.

Put it on charge for about 6 hours, checked voltage, 1.5v. Pulling it out and putting it on a deep charge for a couple of days to see if it'll be ok, since it's only about 6-9 months old. :(

just fitted a new rack end on passenger side, bought a new pair from ebay (link from Dale)

http://www.ebay.com....#ht_1749wt_1037

after fitting it and drove the car, steering was very loose that when i came out to check the wheels. the left one (passenger side) had a toe in about 5-7 degrees :angry:

after a closer inspection, the new rack end is actually longer than stock one (refer pic) so had to cut off to roughly the same length, now just need to do wheel alignment

thought to share this so if anyone else needs to change the rack end to the same ones i bought, better measure and cut 1st

I had to remove those two black strips at the edges of the tailgate lid & the spolier screws into the metal beneath where they sat.

Then it just basically sits on top of the black plastic trim that the centre brake light is part of (with help from a bit of double sided tape)

I'll take some more pics when my wife gets back from the shops with it. :whistling:

Dyno'd the car last night. Car feels awesome to drive. Less boost made more power.....18.5psi ftw!

240killa wasps....car feels strong right through the range.

Jez the tune is awesome....and the f$@ker starts hot or cold for the first time in a long time.

Excellent buddy :) glad ur happy.

Sorry about the dyno sheet. Damn dyno restarting on me. Forgot to input ur details back in correctly.

Haha i underestimated ur car. Wheelspin on the 1st pull of the night. Was exciting. We need to find a way to lock it into gear though. Was hard to tune below 4000rpm. Will have a play on the road when u are ready

Limp mate, the kickdown is just to keep you on your toes. :P

The torque converter lockup solenoid needs a 12v voltage on it for a start...

I made up some speaker mounts for the M35 to fit some Alpine Type R 6.5" front splits and 6.5" rear 2 way coaxial speakers. Made them out of some structural ply I had laying around. These will finish up with the speaker sitting close up to the door trim as the factory speakers do. Will finish them up and install them over the next few days. Pretty happy with the result so far.

Haha sure did. Foot flat 100rpm too early and it

Jumps down a gear.

With the lock up how well does this work? It would be good to do this just whilst tuning then we can put back to standard

    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
    • yeah pretty much, stopped playing after lightfall, couldnt be bothered with the final shape...  ran that game into the ground for years... bit of a shame.. the  story was awesome. was playing a lot of trials but the hackers became tooo much, ruined the game.

    • I reckon you are 100% right on the money. The only reason I bought Red Sport instead of the base VR30 is that I am investigating racing it in Production Cars, and they require you to run a (mostly) standard car....therefore knowing exactly what was in the RS spec was important to me and I paid the extra. Other than that, for sure I would have pocketed the $10k and spent them on mods instead. Plus the non-RS models are more likely to have had a nicer life prior. Just a warning though, mods always cost twice as much as they look like they will on paper BTW you should also consider the 400R imports, they are about the same price as a local RS but 5+ years newer. Of course that comes with the usual warnings about finding parts, unhelpful nissan dealers and finding insurance
