Nismo

Is it?

Knew it wasn't a standard factory item when I got the car but wasn't entirely sure exactly.

Car came with it from Japan with Nismo speedo cluster, Nismo cat back exhaust, Nismo rad cap, air filter and Nismo badge on the rear tail gate.

Was all these options or just guessing the previous owner liked Nismo items?

Yes, it is Nismo.

Those could all be factory optioned for an RS (although not sure about the badge on the rear).

Perhaps you should check the ECU, you may have lucked out there.

That said, I do not see any Nismo side skirts, rear bumper nor spoiler so perhaps he/she ran out of Yen.

Which Nismo exhaust? Round or square tips (below). I miss my old Nismo exhaust sound.

Yes its the square tips

Am happy with the tone and is quiet enough to not be annoying when doing daily and highway driving.

I would like to lower it a little to reduce the wheel arch gap but dont want to run into clearance issues with parking and curbs and steep spoon drains/driveways due to the front bumper - so i guess ride height will have to stay the way it is

Been a bloody long time since if frequented this fine forum let alone post something! But here goes.

After doing a big end bearing on number 2 cylinder a few months back. I've finally got the car back after a full engine rebuild with Powertune in Sydney.

The car is still on a run in tune, but it goes better than ever (but trust me, it went bloody good before it shit itself...)!

I'll let the attached photo's do the talking from here on in... Gunna be one tough Stagea once it's had its final tune!

tell us the power figures when the final tunes done

Well its been a big weekend.... after 2 days the Axis kit is installed. The flares are secured to the body permanently and do not have the rubber strip between them and the body. It is such a cleaner look. Now to wait for my grill that is on its way from japan. A big thankyou to Aleks Capeski Chris Murph Daniel Savage and Cam.f82e81eb7c51cfe69aea7b70c532df35.jpgc83f0018f6b86d221c105ca7699a4ffa.jpg9c8095100e074c05fd81ea9d00da5b08.jpgab9ed4f405db3a8c42dc84a34d21859c.jpg

    • No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.
    • The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣
    • Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
