What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[joshm35]

Sweet thanks. What size spacer for standard 17 inch wheels to let them fit behing wheels

[gleeson]

This is why in need new rims.

Finally got to post up some dyno charts. Not earth shattering (308 AWKW) but it feels fast to me. I have had some good days on various tracks but now looking forward to setting a 1/4 mile time. Trouble is Friday nights are drag days and I work at nights but hopefully I will get down there before too long. Progress has been slow - no time or money - but some new plugs and a better setting up of the wastegate and a touch up of the tune should net me a few more AWKW.

RB30 is great for the Stagea (mine is 1800kg with me in it) - pulls away from 1000 rpm in 5th comes on boost 2500 and full boost at 4000 (rev limited at 7000).

What I don't understand, is why didn't Nissan make the cars with this engine....with their weight they really benefit from a few extra ccs.

Good dyno result, particularly on 98 (it's getting rare over here to see a medium or high power build that is not running e85)

Imagine one with a non turbo rb20! Lol!

Downfall of having capacity based road tax systems. Big cars, silly little engines.

Great result; especially at all four!

It must have torque up the wazoo; sounds like a great thing to drive.

Just ordered a 5inch (3 inch outlet) mild steel resonator as suggested by scotty. Then my full 3 inch system os finished.

So, 12 months, 2 radiators, 4 turbos, 3crankshafts, 2 sets of pistons rings and bearings, 5 unsuccessful dyno runs many many $$ and a new set of coilovers later, it looks like I may have my car back on the road tomorrow... Fingers crossed!

Pics to follow once I've finally had a chance to get behind the wheel again: cannot wait to post that it runs perfectly and made good power!!

Excitement!

[poohkies]

installed boost gauge, car runs 14.5 psi, was hoping it was running a little lower so I could have upped the boost. So i'll just go sort the rest of the exhaust and still aiming for hi 12's

About to pack mine up with wheels, tools and various other shit to take it as my support car to the track tomorrow. Doin it in stagea style.

Just in time...

[PN-Mad]

Come on down..........

[satinoval]

wish I had smaller hands! today I tackled, spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, cleaned afm, attesa fluid and replaced all the dead lamps in the climate control unit! and refitted the stereo so it sits flush with the climate control

couldnt face doing oil change today!

What power is the car making? I ran 12.3 at 270ish RWKW and a slipping clutch. Its all about getting these heavy things off the line.

[pipster11]

Put the boost gauge in, only reads .4 bar boost (running 10psi so .7bar) and barely reading a vacuum (maybe -50 mmHg but should be at lease -250)

Anyone ever pulled one apart for repair?

So finally got my bars painted and refit them to the car,while the bars were off i plasti diped the grill and pulled apart the head lights and plasti diped the inner crome bits [ obviously not the reflective bits]oh and also bought a new autech badge for the grill and had to make a bracket for it as it was STOLEN with the badge last time and cant be bought

[StageIan]

Looking good Scott

You probably noticed that you don't see mine flying past your work anymore.

We've moved our office to Crows Nest, will have to try catch up wednesday nights at St Ives
