What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[malialipali]

They came up well!

thanks!

damn hard work on the hands sanding.. but so satisfying when done.

Took a while as I only have cordless drills so very low speed/ torque. For about 30 bucks in materials though a new lease of life

Found this thing waiting for me when I got off work today, freshly delivered from Sendai, Japan

btw anyone have access to the Nissan Fast software to run the VIN for me? Just want to be extra sure I did in fact buy an Autech 260rs, all the signs point to that but just want to be 1000% sure

[Duncan]

ahh they are such a great car aren't they post up or pm me the vin and i can check.

I used the Stagea to tow the Leaf to Bathurst and back on the weekend, it made easy work of a very heavy load as always. Very happy with how the car runs, even though it has over 300,000klm on it now

Big thanks to Duncan for running the VIN for me

Stopped by the local Super Autobacs yesterday after work and picked up a mount to hold my phone so I can use it as a navigation and picked up some good ol' JDM squash air freshener.

Phone mount on the left side, obviously no phone in it because I used it to take the pic

and some cheeky seat belt covers that I've had in every car since I was 16, they were a gift from a friend in high school for my 16th birthday

Seemed to have developed a boost or fuel cut on hard acceleration in 2nd gear and sometimes 3rd. Not sure if what has happened but feel like the engine fuel and boost all cut for a second so I let off the gas for a sec and bang all good again. Any one with thoughts on what it could be boost cut, fuel cut ? Running 19psi on max rom tuned with Walbro pump 3" turbo back and intake.

Maxing injectors maybe?

don't know if you are running with EBC. if you have EBC, you can block stock boost sensor that could let you know it is boost cut or fuel cut.

with aftermarket ECU, maybe the problem is your 3" turbo back, it will increase your boost level.

btw, do you have boost gauge to measure the boost level?

i also have some fuel cut and EMU is on my hand now

[Lakes101]

I have a ebc and gauge reading 19psi max boost. I deleted the stock boost solenoid a year ago. How can you tell if it's boost or fuel cut by blocking the solenoid?

You can just block stock boost sensor, then you never get 21psi boost cut.

See attached pic, No.1 is boost sensor

Car is reading from boost sensor then cut fuel, that's boost cut

Nathan, if it is boost cut I would expect the MIL to light up. I wonder if the AFM was clamped correctly... As I said I have no idea how they tuned the HDI mate.

[stripey]

Could the factory ecu re learn itself and try to adjust for the max rom

It does exactly that, although it is fast at learning, so I would have expected it to be sorted on the dyno.

If the AFM is hitting over voltage in one particular cell it will fuel cut like this, but the voltage this happens at changes depending on the cell.

thank you gents I blocked off the map sensor this morning drove it hard to work to see if any boost cut... Seems to have done the trick.

I wasn't getting a mil light when it was happening but seems good now I'll test over the coming days and see how it goes.

I wasn't getting any cut in the dyno or for a few weeks after the tune, just came on all of a sudden. The ECU does learn at a fast rate so not sure why or how it happened.

Thanks for everyone's help with this gents [emoji106][emoji4]

Some new wheels on won on auction so will have to wait for them to get delivered.

Also bought a Transgo shift kit to liven up the gear box.

The guy i bought it from has only one left. $250 + delivery.

If anyone is interested, please let me know so can pass the details on ☺️

This learning only happens off boost/low load for fuel.

Finally got my AMPerformance intake fitted, straight away noticed the extra flow.

Throttle more sensitive down low, less throttle needed to get the car rolling.

Haven't tested high rpm yet.

Thanks to Craig for fitting it, wasn't easy.

Nice, and it's up high that it's makes the most difference

spent some time this weekend exploring, trying to figure out what mods were already on the car, so far I've found:

Nismo Exhaust

Nismo Air Intake

HKS EVC 3

Apexi Turbo Timer

Coilovers (brand unknown)

Carrozzeria head unit

waiting to hear back from local shop about doing a full fluid change/flush and to have them inspect the car in more detail

Just started the air suspension install
