I guess ill take the time to say thanks to every one on here who provided me with information and help with my 2 versions of stagea.

massive thanks to Scott (scotty nm35) and Craig (jetwreck) for all the work and parts they put into my car. if you guys are ever up in the hunter give us a yell (you both have my number) the whiskey is always top shelf and the accomodation is always free.

After much stuffing around with my M35 I managed to kill the tranny. Took it into a tranny specialist who repaired it for 3K. Problem was it was still not working correctly and kept throwing a preassure sensor alarm and 4WD light. Some times when you punched it, it felt like it would try pull real hard and then you would lose every thing for about a second before it kicked in and pulled like a freight train. Made overtaking very defficult.

I purchased one of these code readers ($135 delivered off ebay) to see what was going on but then got jack of the car and traded it for a new Jeep. Never got a chance to actually use it on the stag, I did use it on my wifes 2010 camry that had an O2 sensor alarm, it worked well and cleard the alarm. I'll deffinately be keeping this to use on our current cars. It says its JODB compliant and will work with Asian cars, any one in the hunter wanna give it ago or know someone who has tried it? might be a good little investment if it works.

a little info about the Jeep for those of you thinking about trading to something different

Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 3L turbo Diesel (8 speed)

this thing is a massive winner so far... i thought it would be lacking power but it to pulls like a freight train and has every option under the sun.

My wife drove it and the VW Toureg (both new) and prefered the drivability of the Jeep (i thought she had come down with mad cow disease) untill i drove it.

Air bag susspension with three hight levels to choose from

full 4WD capability with a low 4WD selectable

english TV screen

and to top it all off.... paddle shift from factory

It to me would be every thing you would expect in a brand new stagea on steroids if they made them.

The only downside is my wife gets it and i inherit her Camry lol and the little crystal around the rearview mirror. (so hot right now)

Anyway

adios amigos its been super fun with its share of super frustrating events.

Shame to see you going Clint after so many years. Hope you enjoy the Jeep as much as the Stagea mate.

I could have just sold you my spare gearbox cheap you know... :P

Who was the transmission specialist? Just so no-one else goes there.

All good man Ive never purchased brand new before and rarely actually get time to drive the car, mostly the Stagea use to live at the airport. Hense why the wife gets the Jeep and i get the Camry haha... (still feels so gay every time i say it)

ATS Maitland

not sure if they did a sh!t job or not, truthfully i cant even tell you what he did to the transmission to get it running again but for 3K it should have come out of there ready to cook me breakfast.

    • Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it
    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
