What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[scotty nm35]

We had issues with the config of the EVC to start with. For some reason it had started just delivering 7psi. By the end of the day it was fine and back up to 15psi, but it's pretty obvious that I'll need Scotty's upgraded wastegate spring.

Thats a pretty good result for 7psi. lol.

You did better than my first attempt, good to see the tune is working and the engine runs fine. How does it feel? That's much more important than the power figure...

[bigkevracer]

It feels pretty good. Looking forward to putting the good tyres back on and giving it a spank.

Shifts are a lot firmer, but throttle response isn't as good. Need to check that part of the map

Re pipster's discovery: could be VERY useful for the ridiculously complex menu system in my gloria: nice work!

nismo shocks, nismo springs FTW

Even better...bilstien shock + Nismo springs.....I miss them so much!

My previous stag had this, stiffness, height and ride comfort was perfect for my liking!

bought a dump pipe from scotty. Can wait to get this baby and fit it

[scotty nm35]

It's nearly completed Josh, will have it out Monday.

Are you fitting it yourself?

[joshm35]

All good Scotty. No I don't have time as i'm away mon - fri work. I'm going to get my mechanic to fit for me as well as drill out my banjo to 1.5mm.

you will love the improvement:)

Booked the car back in to get a couple of things with the tune fixed. Firstly whatever is causing the fault light and second the shitty throttle response. First thing Tuesday we should be good!

Just finished installing a GT2 FMIC with one hand into my AR-X. Had surgery on my right hand last week, so it is in a cast with titanium pins holding it together! Was a bit of a mission installing the intercooler, but I couldn't wait. Sweet intercooler kit!

[pipster11]

Wow, that's dedication!

Got a mate ordering some bushes for me :-)

So much cheaper than retail when you work in the industry

Eg, r31 rack bushes, $15 fish vs around $45-60 on the eBay

Can't wait to have a bit more camber and caster in the front of the Stagea

i have fault codes (running rich and running lean) 0172 & 0173 i think pop up sometimes but apparently it doesnt mean sh*t its just anoying for us

[tuckin7]

Installed scotty's dump big diffrence compared to the stock one. next will be be brakes and FMIC

I notice when the code clears itself it comes back on at idle, so we will pull out the code and see whats going on. Shouldn't be doing anything like that.

hardest part is the pipe on the drivers side to the intake. Oh I swore at that pipe many a times. good work on your persistance

yep every time i notice it it happens at idle, as a set of traffic lights

** my tuner reakons its not an issue...............

Its not an issue because the aftermarket computer is interacting with the stock computer. Theo- I remember when we had yours on the dyno, and we had a good idle AFR, yet when I was reading the stock computer the O2 correction was doing silly things. The data that I was reading was not actually affecting the AFR. So I'd expect to see errors as the stock ECU is trying to use O2 correction, and sensing different things. 125%/75% combination most likely triggers errors.

There is also 3 different O2 feedbacks in the software to look at.... bit confusing.

Thats the way I see it - no doubt Scott will chime in and disagree

[scotty nm35]

The stock computer thinks it still has control, and expects to see a result from its o2 cycling. When this doesn't come it throws a fault. The Fcon is trying to trick it but it isn't smart enough obviously. (or not set up correctly)

Either way, it makes no difference as the stock computer is doing nothing with regards to tuning anyway. As long as it stays happy enough to run the throttle and cams you are fine.

[bigkevracer]

Sounds like hooking the wideband up should fix it. Pretty sure my harness is setup to feed that signal back to the stock ECU.

But if that's what it's doing we'll work it out tomorrow and I'll see if we can find a fix.

Is it presenting as left bank lean?
