What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[Dunc]

people feel that they're fiddly things, when adjusting gains and etc.

but everything that comes out of japan is fiddly. lol people should deal with it.

Yeah mostly I think it is people not reading the manual and/or taking the time to set them up properly. It's not quite as simple as "I WANT 20psi, K.. GO!"

Also, some think they can't handle huge boost and prefer to go for the Blitz dual solenoid units. The theory there is that the dual solenoids can handle fast ramping, huge boost setups better.

Got it I dont see either of those issues being of particular concern to me - but good to know!

Defiantly are not plug and play.....took about half an hour of run's to set it up in Andy's car yesterday!...mainly because it takes so long to get to 60km/h

thats normal though, like bubba said, you cant just input 20psi n say go. 30minutes is actually pretty good.

[zei20l]

is it because his car is big and heavy, or because andy was driving?

[Sunkist]

hey mine and craigs cars are big and heavy but u dont see us complaining bout weight anymore

Did the RDA slotted rotors and EBC pads (red at the front, green at the rear) tonight; and a full bleed of the brakes. Waaaaaaaaaay more bite. Good upgrade, very straight forward and, no brake squeal!

I did the same thing 2 months ago on my r32 GTR callipers, those RDA slotted rotors are great, no warp at all when you heat them up. I used the QFM A1rm's and they bite well, better than my EBC reds. Once they are hot though, my god they pull up! Better than any brakes I have felt before.

+1 for the QFM A1RM's

I wasn't really a fan of the EBC's as when I bought a set they would dust something shocking, and this dust would EAT the wheels! Pads were pretty good. Pretty average when cold though!

Dunc, just make sure you change your fluid to something with a slightly higher boiling point. The increase efficiency of the pads at operating temperature means you are bouncing up closer to the boiling point of standard brake fluids, giving your nice new pads a squishy pedal!

We bled them and put in a mid range PBR fluid; nothing too extravegant but better than what you'd get if you took it to a generic mechanic. I had the 'faded brakes' convo with my mate whilst we were doing the brakes, he felt pretty comfortable that what we were doing would be fine .

Even when cold, the new setup felt like it had a heap more stopping power than what I was driving this time yesterday - but given I changed so many components at once I wouldnt be so bold as to attribute it to 1 particular bit; as a whole - the system is working nicely. I'll keep an eye out for that brake dust though

any one know the part number for the M35 in tank Fuel Filter?

appreciate any help! didnt think it would need a new topic.

[ironpaw]

Why is yours clogged? What's the symptoms?

I'm having cranking issues in the morning. Do I need extra volts to the fuel pump? New filter?

[scotty nm35]

The dreaded cold start ethanol issues? You may just need more fuel at cold start, do you have the Emanage software working yet? See if the temp sensor is hooked up to it mate. Not hard to fiddle with it...

nah no problems for me.. just wanna get one so after the 2nd tank of ethanol i can change the filter, it cleans the tank..

well we all were having cranking issues and popping on Idle.

get some air flow meter cleaner, and clean the AFM.

Fixed my problem instantly.

My Cusco rear strut brace arrived in the mail today. I'll fit it tomorrow before work.

Is that a specific product, afm cleaner?

i duno. went to super cheap skates and just grabbed it off the shelf.
