Would it be enough to stop the volvo comments?

Never!! Driving a wagon slowly erodes the sports car driver view of life :(

That does look very nice though. Maybe time to have some kids and get a wagon :(

I went to envy imports in manly the other day enquiring about a stagea for myself.

They have one arriving in a week that looks exactly like this one, running full R34 RB26 with about 350awkw....

are selling it for about $59k.

Thats exactly what i want.

From the little I understand, it seems this is actually a fully engineered conversion using an R34 front cut. This page seems to support that. However, I have seen a pic that may suggest the quarter panels and arches have just been modified/flared to match the R34 GT-R front bar and lights...

Hello

The black one is a kit made by Masa as per the Masa sticker on the window.

The guards are not from a R34 as they are made to conform with the bodylines on the side and the front bar is a special item to fit as well. You will need to source a bonnet, front bonnet mech and the electrics if I remember correctly from an article in one of the performance mags.

I will have to see if I still have the mag for more info.

yes, the R34 front onto a Stagea is a kit - custom guards and front bar (I think original ba canbe modded to fit). R34 guards don't line up as the Stagea one's are about an inch lower into the engine bay. Orginal R34 lights, bonnet and bonnet latch mechanicals also required.

There will be one for sale in a couple of weeks - GTR front and driveline. :)

      There's more than one way to skin that cat, and most of the sump Maatouks have done will be GTR sumps. They are HUGE in GTR drag racing here.

      Yeah...I always start at the shift solenoids, because there's only a few reasons these will spook into limp mode, and bad shift solenoids is one ~ the other can be the shift control module (if you have steering wheel shift buttons)...it's easier to eliminate the solenoids first.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By cabramatta · Posted

      Might piggy back off this thread since there's been a good discussion about PWM.   I purchased a Walbro 460 F90000267 and have been looking into PWM to understand it. It was purchased more of a future proof as my original OEM fuel pump died (r33 below 200kw) and figured I'd just upgrade it to this. That's when it hit me that a pump this big can cause more dramas with such high amperage draw and heating of the fuel pump being on 100% all the time in such a mild setup.   I have a Nexus R3 and slowly collecting power mods but I was looking into the PWM feature on the NSP software:   Then looking at the graph from the fuel pump:     Am I safe to assume reducing duty cycle to 50% for example would make the pump run like a 230/lph ? Where does the PWM come in all of this ?   I've gone down the rabbit hole of PWM fuel pumps and it seems there are many differing opinions on how to go about it 😅

      That specific one would be an exchange part, meaning I'd have to send mine to them. Plus it looks like a non AWD sump, which won't work for me. There is one or two shops in my country that I can ask to do a sump extension job and it'd most likely end up being cheaper than sending mine to AUS or NZ and getting one back, and quicker too.
