Hi all just bought my Stagea (Stagea-C34-Autech-260RS-WGNC34) wanted one for too many years, stepping out of a BMW X54.6IS worked,


I have uploaded a gallery of images.


So far I have just replaced the Japanese head unit with motorised Clarion DVD iPod Reverse camera,amp & aub etc...


Many many mods from Japan major step is to get the power turned back on... MINE"S ECU Apexi Exhaust Sards hi-flow cat, Garrett turbos, fuel rail, injectors, HKS ignition,G-Racing coil overs, alloy front upper arms, Alloy wheel hubs, 2 piece VOLK RAYS, so much more I'm still finding...


Need help on unleashing he power... I'm in Newcastle & need a good tuner, I've had a complete inspection at the mechanics & everything is spot on but is is under powered.



Any advice would be very welcome or a contact for someone that can turn on the tunes or re-tune the MINE"S...

cant be tuned, dosnt suit straya fuel anyway.

buy a nistune and 2x z32 afms

$500 + $500 = $1000

or spend a little more and get a plug and play haltech and don't need to buy afms

$1800

any reason you say HALTECH? as I just spent $2500 replacing The Japanese Head unit so a bit for a ECU is well worth it...

If you already have z32s then nistune will be much cheaper. and a good option in its own right too, can still go flex fuel with the new ones.

I prefer haltech with no afms for several reasons but just have a bit of a search for the pros and cons of each ecu.

but tbh if you have already spent cash on z32s I would probably just spend $500 get a nistune and get a tune done.

Congrats on the autech :D I picked one up in March.

Just out of curiosity, I assume its fine, but is there any detriment or benefit to running the z32 afms with haltech?

There is a school of thought that says AFMs are more accurate than MAP sensors but my own thinking is that MAP sensors are closer to the action ... but I am open to being proved wrong. I haven't seen any back to back comparisons.

Always worth doing the cam belt on a new purchase - you don't know how accurate the km on the clock are.

Cam/timing belt being done as part of the 100k service to be safe.

Anyone have similar mods on an RB26 DETT - DET or RB25? If so what sort of power do you get & what do you think I will get?

Thanks Shaun.....

I got 270rwkw

r32 stock engine stock turbos

halltech platinum pro 1bar boost controlled by an electronic solenoid
without the cam upgrade and running out of injectors so you should se somewhere between that and a bit higher.
your turbos will run out before 300 I would say

I will go with what the mechanic recommends as I'm no expert.

But I do not want to destroy the engine as the car is almost NEW condition inside & out. I was very lucky to come across it.

Everyone wants over 300KW & a 10sec car, here's hoping/dreaming.

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
