Now apart of the stagea family

Hi all,

Been apart of this forum for a few years now which has been very valuable after owning a couple R34s in the past. Times have changed and I need something practical for work, fun and wouldn't break the bank, so long behold I just put a deposit on a stagea! Car is in great nick and has a fair few goodies on it according to one of my mates that also own's an NM35.

Only downside is that it has the dreaded turbo whine not excessively loud and still performs fine, which I expected from any M35 that hadn't had its turbo rebuilt at some point and allowed for in my budget. What i wanted to know is if someone could give me a brief run down on there experience and whats involved in removing the turbo without pulling the motor (special tools required, part removal sequence). Car also has one of scottys dump pipes. I haven't had a chance to look under the car yet to see whats required but when the time comes I plan on posting a detailed DIY seeing as no ones done it yet.

 

Cheers,

So this happened on the weekend.... Safe to say that's a job I'd rather not do again any time soon, sent it off to hypergear today and i'm already eager to get it back.

Bit of a picture spam tonight but I also added a HDI inter-cooler while I had the car apart. Cant recommend the kit enough especially for the price, everything bolted and fitted up perfect. I'd recomm

Such enthusiasm its good to see.... that will change lol. There was a thread about the turbo swap but can't seem to find it. Its one of the worst jobs you will do on this car for sure. No special tools are needed just sockets with extender bars and swivel ends including a new set of knuckles. Good too see steven's car sold. (Assuming its the same one). He also has a lsd diff for sale you should go buy and install. Welcome to the family

Nice purchase, looks like you have a suspension kit under there too.

Great work car, I use mine for building.

I love going to the timber yard and parking next to all the utes and vans..

Haven't seen another Stag in there yet :)

Thanks mate! 

Yeah I managed to find a somewhat detailed thread how ever it involved pulling the motor which i'd rather avoid.

Yep its Steven's, still waiting on him to get the roadworthy, never mentioned anything about an LSD, I'll have to ask him about it.

Picked up the car and i'm loving it!! Spent a couple hours today starting to make that pearl shine (size of these cars is daunting:mellow:) so that's going to consume my spare time this week!

But for now question time!

- Previous owner removed the pop out screen, I've replaced it today and it doesn't function how ever i don't have the nav unit in the glove box which i'm guessing is why it wont function?

- What are people running in the way of cabin controlled BOVs? I'm a fan of the GFB stealth II just unsure of there compatibility on the VQ.

- Exhaust suggestions? I believe the car already had fujitsubo on it previously

Yea you need the dvd rom & tv tuner to run the screen.

I believe this had a stock exhaust as he didnt get the chance to fit the exhaust.

Im running a turbosmart kompact BOV (not sure why you want a cabin controlled unit).

Will definitely be looking into boost controllers soon, in regards to cabin controlled BOVs (GFB deceptor pro in particular) allow you to switch between plumb back, vent to atmosphere or anything in between for full gobble if you wish (don't judge) haha.

Seems a lot of effort just for the bov. Venting to atmosphere from what i understand will lower the intakes air volume hense messing with ecu fuel/air volumes.

Car will stall, shoot flame, rough idle if the ECU is not tune for such circumstances i believe.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      UniClutch

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
