What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

Recommended Posts

Plan to get it to the strip ASAP but its going to be hard as I'm living in Canberra these days.

The butt Dyno says it's a lot fast than the last unleaded tune, 312RWKW which was good for 12.3@119MPH 1.92 60'

Be interested to see 100hp shot of nos straight of the mark would make a huge improvement to allow these big barges to utilise the massive rwkw figures youve described.

E85 proves great for the end result, tho can increase lag from burning cooler.speant gasses dont have the same heat to get the turbine spinning up as easy.

He he we will find out :) I've just been stock pilling a heap of goodies for the c34 including a nos system, for that exact reason,:) as well as e85 and wmi , see how much more the old stock neo will take;)" and the gearbox :(" before the new engine set up goes in

Have not had much time to work on the c34 lately. I've been busy with my mates rs4s and the doing a few little things to the m35. But I did get chance to chuck the new seats in today no more sliding around post-76904-0-08659700-1385039514_thumb.jpg

No need for more power to get a faster ET its all about clutch/throttle control off the line.

First time I visited the quarter I had a nice soft/light clutch in the Stagea which was very easy to build a little boost and then slip it off the line @ 6500RPM

I ran 12.35 @ 114MPH 1.69 60' with crappy 245/35/19 rubber and only 277RWKW

I fried that clutch pretty quick though and have been back twice with new clutch, more power, better wheel/tyres yet taken bugger all off the ET. The hard part is effectively launching a car this heavy with a clutch beefy enough to take the abuse.

Yeah I'm running a 2step to help with the off the line thing :) and then nos not for over all power but to increase under the curve to pull the heavy bitch out the hole.

One Blitz Nur Touring cat back shiny pieces of 80mm 304 pipe installed.

So far nice quiet no drone...

Sure the heat generated from some overweight right foot behaviour will change this...

Was a 30 min job thanks to the easy to understand instructions...

Coneeecheeewaaa...

Oh man, I've gotta get at least another muffler on my car now - it seems louder than it was before I had it in for all the work I had done on it recently. Something is holding the boost back too, not sure what exactly that is as yet, but I need to find it and get rid of the restriction. The torque and power curves flat-line and you can feel it struggling when it's running on high boost, but on low boost it doesn't feel as bad.

Sorry Im not familiar with your bus & mods but ...

Has the ecu been remapped since latest mods?

High flow exhaust often leeds to runaway boost pressure and a factory ecu pulling timing out etc...

Is your intake pipe (if rubber) ? Sucking closed?

Factory dump & cat still or?

Nothing as spectacular as the previous posts.

A good while back got a dash mat for the RS4. Fitted like a glove. Later I got a mat from an unmentionable for the 25G. . I finally fitted it today. It is like a soft sock.

Had to use a bucket full of viagra, oops velcro to get it to fit. Looks shit but will protect the dash.

Yours came with instructions??

Mine has never droned, but it does get much louder over time.

    • I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.
    • yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.
    • With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)
    • Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar. 
    • This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
