Spotted (Iains) Awesome car today - the Silver version. St Ives, about 430pm

no you didnt

at 4.30 i was in leichardt lol

there is clearly someone trying to imitate me. not surprised due to the awesomeness i have

Not that anyone else will know where it is but spotted the 8th Stagea that i've seen in Townsville at the Dalrymple Rd council depot, silver RS4S appears stock. There's not 8 still here as atleast 2 have moved and haven't seen the others for a while but thought i'd post anyway. I think i'm the only stagea owner in the ville thats on this forum.

Had a 2 day trip to Canberra for work and spotted a couple on Monday at about 12:30 i spotted a Silver S1 C34 in Queanbeyan out the front of the Vets on Yass Rd.

and also saw a White RS260 at Canberra Airport in a carpark off Glenora Dr.

Probably myself, new to the forum, new to owning a stagea (very impressed) and yet to really post on here.

Btw it lives on the nthn beaches ;)

do you have the nismo side stripes??

if you do, youll have to remove them unless you bring your car for a nismo ECU inspection :P

you need to earn the stripes.

also, congrats on the ride :)

If memory serves, that isnt the order other people applied them in :nyaanyaa:

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
