Eoi For My 34, I'm Pondering Getting An M35 Stagea.

[Randon_I_Am]

As the title says, I'm needing a more practical car (one that can tow the boat) and what better way then to have the best of both worlds with a stagea.

My r34 GTT.

1998 R34 GTT.

Manual.

NEO engine with 102ks.

100k service done.

Hypergear G2 FNT Turbo.

NIStune ECU with duel fuel maps.

Run NIStune from the "stereo" CarPC and change fuel maps at the servo.

Wideband O2 guage for self tuning ability.

270rwkw on PULP98, tuned by Autotech.

290rwkw on Ethanol (E-Flex), tuned by Autotech

All power upgrade supporting mods done:

550cc injectors.

Blitz Turn Flow FMIC.

Genuine Walbro 255lph fuel pump, with full voltage mod done.

XForce 3" full exhaust with Loboka 100CPI Cat.

Varex 3" Muffler with custom valve button on the dash.

3" Metal intake with pod.

R34 GTR wheels.

Slotted rotors with redstuff pads and braided lines.

adjustable coil overs. Also have the original shocks to chuck in with the sale.

After 18K, or swaps for a 2003+ M35 Stagea.

Anyone?

Fag.

Stagea had better not remain stock.

[Randon_I_Am]

Yeah dude i must be getting old...

Unless i can get a towbar for the 34 for a little while until we can work out another way of doing stuff.

Gotta fit myself, Nicole, 2 big dogs that take up the whole back seat, all the other crap that needs to be brought and a boat...

Because canberra sux and going to the coast as often as possible is a must.

Also we're buying a boat next week

And having a boat in the garage and not having a car to tow it to the coast is gonna be fair shit!

Keep the 34, m35's are ghey for towing, full alloy rear subframe needs strengthening for anything decent sized.

That and the turbos blowing and the lack of aftermarket parts available.

[Randon_I_Am]

The only thing really holding me back with the 34 is the clutch, it would be totally terrible for towing and launching boats, that and possibly having to keep the revs up to stay in the powerband on the highway with a boat cruising along behind, I'm not sure how it would go though, it might be great...

Thanks for the Advice, the C35 would be better for towing wouldn't it?

[Manuel Kasko]

What it like running duel maps?

Do you find it annoying when trying to swap between e85 and pulp?

[Randon_I_Am]

It's great.

Not annoying, just takes 5mins of idling and a slight shudder when the maps swap, then you're off!

[Manuel Kasko]

Do you have to run it to empty before filling up or do you adjust the mixture depending on what pulp is left in the tank

My c34 towed okay, rb25det neo auto was good on the highway, but it did chew fuel. If you're gonna get a c34 you may aswell stick with the r34.

[RS4-S]

Get manual c34 stagea, swap most ya mods over to the stagea. Get similar coin selling ya r34 with less mods.

go non skyline Pat

Perhaps somethin like Ford territory Turbo AWD Ghia

[Mitcho_7]

Don't sell you car pat!

Find a way to make it work with your car I say

[Randon_I_Am]

Richard I just can't bear to move on from the skyline completely...

hmmmm. 3rd car?

[Mitcho_7]

What about looking for a cheaper 4x4 for towing or something?

You will miss the skyline if you sell it

[Trozzle]

Sell your piece of ass van and buy a new work vehicle that can tow the boat....then claim on tax lol

[Randon_I_Am]

Yeah, my poor shit house van. That the best option, just gonna cost heaps, and i don't have that money at the moment

[Trozzle]

Finance a new car, noob.

[Randon_I_Am]

Nar dog, too many loans at the moment. house loan repayments are massive!

[Randon_I_Am]

Well it turns out i now have a towbar on the line.... Not sure if it was a good decision, but at least i can now combine 2 fun things into 1. unbelievably hard to manouver. flamin mongrel of a vehicle.

The exedy HD clutch is gonna put up such a fight against all of this...

Tossing up spending the money on a new NPC HD Organic.

[Mitcho_7]

Thank god you are keeping it, it's too nice to sell...
