Hey guys and girls,

Sold my r33 skyline and bought a stagea, wanted one from the first day i ever seen one on the road.

Basically im doing power upgrades to my stag and would like some input and help from those who have allready gone down the same path as what ive done and where im going.

Here are a few pics of the car from when it come over from japan to the current day now........

I have got fitted a front dump pipe where the wastegate feeeds back into the pipe further down a nisstune board from matt at nisstune, a just jap intercooler kit. My mate anthony at adelaide jap fitted this kit, the car then went to jaustech to get the nisstune tuned.

the car was tuned at 169rwks i think that was at 10psi, i was hoping for like 200rwks or close too. I was a little dissapointed, found out the auto trans eats up alot of power, after driving manuals all my life i said my next car after a manual was to be an auto.

That means i can drive lazy and that my other half can drive the car safely, also cut back on my sliding all the time an doing power launches. meaning i have finaly grown up. Least i now can not worry bout cops so much. Im going to stick with the auto trans in the stag....

I have just recently bought a kenobi high flow cat rated at 200 cpsi as well as a standard t3 turbo with high flow internals, gt 30/76 apparently, was running on a skyline. Bill at ATS hooked me up through a boostworx customer, this customer got the turbo high flowed 4 months ago through ats. Now he has sold the turbo to me he is looking to get a GTX 30/76 with external waste gate.

The turbo is getting sent back to ATS as we speak to get a longer snorkel, does this sound right for the stageas to have a longer snorkel? Or is bill trying to rack up some more money?

Once i get the turbo back boostworx will fit the turbo an retune the car and also throw on my high flow cat, and probly get rid of the ressy after the cat an before my muffler. Might even have to get rid of my jap muffler if it stops the flow through my zorst.

Might even get some injectors thrown in and a better fuel pump at the same time, i have got a z32 afm with plug lying around waiting to go on.

So far here is a break down on what i have spent, this is not to show of but to find out if i have payed to much or to little for somethings and to get your input on things i may have bought instead.

$210 Z32 AFM with plug

$370 Dump/front pipe with fitting

$800 Nisstune with a tune

$739 FMIC with fitting

$182 High flow cat

$1100 High flowed turbo 30/76

Nice looking stag. Don't be too dissapointed with that power figure as mainlines tend to read a little lower than a dyno dynamics.

You should fit a shift kit and bigger trans cooler to help cope with the power that new turbo will make.

Shaun at boostworx said a shift kit installed would only cost $350, so I'm keen to do that after the new turbos been fitted. I will ask about a trams cooler, how much will that set me back? Also can some one put me onto a brand of injectors that will be easily fitted the the stag? I have done a lot of research on the rb25 neo but don't remember much about easy drop in injector upgrades. I should use google to find out lol! But it's always better and price of mind hearing it from someone that is allready running the part in there car.

Theres plenty of injector info in the forced induction section, spend a few hours searching and learning what works and what doesnt.

Personally I would go with the ID/xspurt 1000's if you can get them in there, or the shorter 750's. Where are you located?

With the parts you have fitted you should be making 240awkw at least. I made that with my old S1 with a GTST GCG highflowed turbo on 1 bar and still auto trans. You have a Neo - should easily do 240awkw with stock injectors. Since you have top feed injectors you could get ID1000 injectors which have great feedback fom users.

The prices on your list look fine. What I don't see is a full 3in exhaust? Knocking the guts out of your new cat seems a waste and can make the exhaust sound tinny. I bought a 100 cell metal cat from Venom.

The other thing I don't see on your list is a new, grunty intank fuel pump - good insurance against failure and also to provide for your 280awkw! New injectors a GT3076 and a really good tune should see you there !

And look out for a GTR box - its a fairly straightforward swap.

X2 decent fuel pump.

It doesn't have a garrett turbine housing to it won't perform like a GT3076. I doubt 280awkw is achievable with a stock nissan housing unless he goes to the happy dyno place over there.

Shaun at boostworx said the turbo has garret internals and should do 280rwks on a manual, mines an auto so im sure he said id hit around the 240/250rwks.

On another note im thinking 1000cc injectors are overkill? i see other members of this forum using 550cc and hitting over 300rwks.

Too be honest with you i want a safe tune a safe ammount of rwks as i dont want to melt any pistons or kill my engine anytime soon........

Oh also my car isnt the 4wd stagea, its a RS meaning rwd only.

1000cc injectors will give you the headroom you need to go e85 later on, because no doubt in time you will want to do this.

Price difference isn't significant either. Injectors Online do the 725cc Xspurts for the same price as the 1000s.

Might be worth PM'ing a couple of the SAU traders and asking them? I got good pricing from PHR.

AFAIK RS = Turbo. RS4 = turbo + 4WD. /quote]

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
