Stock.

Don't talk him into power mods just yet, I want to get it all running first before he throws a rod out the block like Jetwreck...

Stock to begin with like scotty said but 245/250rwkw ballpark is the goal.

Over the coming year builing upto getting my full lisence I wall be slowly saving my pretty Pennies to do a full M35 stagea nose on a V35 skyline to make a MV35 stagline.

Engine, gearbox, body... Everything.

So i there you are parting with some OEM stagea parts let me know on this or PM me.

VQ25DET turbo and 5AT box

Looking for preferably white body parts.

If there is anything I should look out for in stageas also let me know

Hahahah taken twice as long as planned but hey slow and steady wins the race. Bring on 2014.

This will probably be the last post before Christmas and the new year. So i would just like to wish the stagea family a Very Merry Christmas, (may santa bring you all the car parts you asked him for) and a Happy 2014.

I would also just like to say that im sorry for all the crap and drama that i may have caused/be involved in and just generally being a dick.

Though im not a stagea owner, i will be more stagea than skyline. Since spending time in the stagea section i have met some awesome people that have helped me heaps and i am very thankful.

2014 is going to be a huge, scary and ground breaking year. For the car, me and my wallet.

I look forward to sharing the progress with you all.

DRIVE SAFE AND KEEP SAFE!! :-)

Good luck Mark, carry some baguettes and French wine/champagne just to be safe! Here's to possibly Australia's first Renault VQ25DD-T.

It wont be a VQ25DD-T it will be the first VQ25DET sedan. Dont like wine but i have some baguettes on the list before i leave.

I was slammed and never got pulled over. I have a leaking Y pipe which makes the car sound like a wet fart, i also have a recaro seat which causes my airbag light to blink. I dont speed, tailgate or anything like that so i should be fine i rekon.

I dont drink beer or wine (taste like shiiitttt)

Do not diss the baguette. You run baguette power too

The Count down is on. Only 5 weeks away. Everything seems to be on track and hopefully nothing pops up that results in me changing the dates.

I caved and bought the M35 aero blanks that popped up on ebay not long ago. Considering how long it took and how much it cost dale, i think i scored well.post-88192-0-38603900-1389617902_thumb.jpg

Little bit over two weeks to go. Getting excited but very nervous at the same time.

Gathering the stuff ready in two crates ready. Just have to buy oil and filter and im set.

Big thanks to Travis (one of the few non Vtards) who found me the missing bits of trim for my.option momo that someone on here sold me and has not been helpful at all. I think some of you know who it is.

Also looking for the woodgrain door grab trim strips. Would also be keen on a black leather/woodgrain gear shifter to match but not fussed.

The part numbers might be on the back of the hand grabs...

Also If you get a VIN with the optioned parts and put them into epcdata you might find the option.

*EDIT* I had a quick look could only find

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/03-04-05-Infiniti-G35-door-panel-wood-trim-grip-handle-/230775342365

Which I believe is only half of what you need :(. epcdata showed f**k all.

    • We're back on, gang - Our yearly pilgrimage south to our favourite cafe for an awesome brekkie! Yes, that's right... we're heading down to Austi Beach Cafe for a breakfast run through the Royal National Park! Before you drool over your phones/keyboards, here are the details: Date: Sunday 23rd February Meet Location: Loftus Oval Carpark, Royal National Park, Sutherland Meet Time: Meet at 7:00am for a 7:30am departure Destination: Austi Beach Cafe, 104 Lawrence Hargrave Drive, Austinmer Map: http://tinyurl.com/saunsw-austicruise  RSVP: If you are planning to sit and have breakfast with us, please let us know, either by posting in the event, or by messaging us direct so we can confirm numbers with the venue. Itinerary: We will meet at Loftus Oval Carpark which has plenty of room and is low car friendly. This is a quick turn into the Royal National Park and some nice roads and scenery. After Stanwell Tops we will turn off and head onto the awesome Sea Cliff Bridge. Following this it is a short trip to Austi Beach Cafe. There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • YO- have been searching and searching for an a31 chassis plug pinout, or someone who knows which wire is for tach.  ceffy was flooded past dash during a hurricane.  having an electrical gremlin appear. tach is wonky reading consistent with a short, and on occasion the right side of my speedo lighting will flicker just for a second then go back to normal.  if no pinout available does anyone know if the tach harness opens or branches anywhere behind the dash? im suspecting a possible root behind the radio as there are more shorts in that area on the accessory loop.
    • Means something is not set up right, tune/calibration related.  
    • Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below. 
    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
