I'm still here, going to japan on friday to pack container and hopefully get an exhaust for the staj. I have a HKS split dump but there is no sense in putting it on if it gets choked down the pipe. Once all is done it is time for a dyno run. WIll post the sheet when it happens.

Cool, looks like everyone is getting some mods done soon. I'm keen to see how everyone goes.

I've got mine booked in on 17th Jan for the Unichip and boost controller to be installed and tuned (attempt two !!). Hopefully this time I've got the right ECU pin outs for the Stagea...

I 'think' I'm the first person to try a Unichip on a Stagea !! So fingers crossed :D

The only thing I need to do before it goes in for the install and tune is to get the car up on a hoist and make sure the 'get the car into rwd only mode' actually works. Otherwise I'll have to get them to pull the front drive shaft.

The Unichip has a boost control option (add on bit) that uses the factory solenoid to bleed the air. It's good and stable upto 13psi which is heaps enough for me. Not sure how much the boost control add on bit is cause I bought the Unichip and boost control second hand :D

It's pretty much tuned for the set up I have, but will need a check and quick tune on a dyno just to make sure :D

I'm just keen to get it in and see the results. Plus I'm dying to turn the boost up :)

Yepp, I'll give everyone a full run down when I get back from the workshop.

It's a bit scary being the first to try a Unichip on a Stagea, but I won't know if I don't try....

hey guys well my project is coming along nicely at the moment :D

finished the power steering bracket (moved forward 12mm) to bolt on the stock stagea pump

air con pump just about fits on but one of the pipes just touches the front turbo, but easily fixable with abit of tapping :)

clutch master cylinder and vacuum booster are now mounted in the firewall, and pedal box is ready to be bolted in (with a few mods to line up stock holes)

my sump is ready to go on the engine, just got a a set of hks s/s manifolds on the way so ill be putting them on before engine goes back in.

gearbox is being cleaned with a wire brush on the drill and what a bloody difference it makes :aroused:

stock stagea tailshaft looks to fit perfectly (the auto and gtr 5 speed are identical in length)

cooler is setup to mount, just gotta weld the brackets onto the front support bar

still waiting on a handbrake (trying to find one from skyline/silvia/etc)

luckily my front pipes from dump pipes to cat fit perfectly under the stagea (better fit than the vl) so that saves us heaps of pissing around :)

thats about it at the moment

      R32 Skyline Handbrake Question

      Awesome! I was thinking S14 since they are longer. I'll give those a shot. Thanks for the input!

      Far out, that thing looks like some loose fun!  Nothing beats the rawness of a filthy old Nissan with zero aids to keep the wheels pointing in the right direction like modern "fast" cars!

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If there is no ridge at the inner edge of the battery tray (ie the battery tray is flat until it rolls off the edge into the open space of the bay), then no, it won't matter if it overhangs. If the battery would be propped up by any ridge, then that wouldn't be ideal. The bottom of the battery case would not be sharing the load. It would be concentrated on one end edge and a line across the bottom where it contacts the ridge. And possibly it wouldn't fit under the locking clamp either. I only upsized my battery to the max because: I sometime have to leave my car undriven for weeks at a time while I am away for work. On the previous battery (replaced a couple of months ago) I had to leave it undriven for months at a time!! I sometimes abuse the battery by running the stereo up loud for many hours while I wash and polish it. This is how I realised that the previous battery was on its last legs, because it got to the point where it was too weak to start after a couple of such. It was 7 years old though, so, fair play. Supercheap had a good special so the X was only ~$250 instead of ~$320, which seemed sufficiently less painful. I had already been using NS70 for the previous 2 batteries for most of the same reasons as above. The X is just the final boss level. I was contemplating going LiFePO4. But it's like $900 to do that properly, and while you save >10 kg of weight, you can likely only expect a couple of years longer life. So meh. Maybe when the price comes down further. Although, in ~7 years when I have to replace this one, I might not be allowed to drive such an anti-social vehicle anyway.

      If I get a larger battery and it hangs off the edge of the frame rail, would this be an issue? With FMIC a lot of people downgrade their battery size due to less room for shit, was wondering if it would affect anything but it would still be tight via the clamp.
