First, I want to say, thank you to everyone. Some of the information I have learned through these forums have been of huge help so far.

 

I have owned my 97 Nissan Stagea RS Four for about 4 years now. Only have a few small bolt-ons right now, but looking to restore her to a more glorious day. Currently have a stock RB25DET with a HKS filter, Blitz upper exhaust pipe, and a Fujitsubo exhaust on Volk wheels lowered with Tien shocks. Bought it as is, but i have some pretty basic dreams about getting her to around 300-350 WHP and just keeping her clean right now. future modifications are: coil overs, turbo outlet, high-flowed turbo, intercooler and associated piping, and maybe a few more bolt-ons. As much as i love this beauty, i don't want to dig to deep into the block or head unless absolutely needed. Currently living in Japan, and moving back to the US in a few months. Thanks again for all the help, and I can't wait to learn as much as I can.

Welcome Brad! 

I love a good Stagea!!

You'll have no probs hitting 350HP without going into the engine. Decent cooler, turbo upgrade (maybe even just high flowed? Others on here can confirm), more boost, full exhaust, maybe ECU and cam gears will get you close. 

Will you have any probs taking her home?

Love that you also have one of the Kei ABC's.  I'm a massive fan of them, and have an AZ-1 myself!  I have very similar short term goals on my Unicorn as well, but my long term goals are super sleeper wagon.

Nice to meet you!

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
