Hi Guys,

Just a general query - have just received the inspection report on my Series II which looks very good.

One point which came up is the inspector noted an 'audible turbo whine at road speed'. A bit of an open statement but am mildly curious if the NEO6 is noted for a bit of turbo whine.

If I am happy with the vehicle, it will be home in Canberra about 6/6/05.

Regards,

Marc2

Great stuff Marc. I bet your keen to get it in and won't be sleeping for the next few weeks :thumbsup: I'd love to have a look over it when it comes in.

On mine I can easily hear the turbo spool up when pressing the throttle just a little bit. Yours probably has a highflow panel filter or pod on it, or has the boost turned up a bit.

Hi JAY,

I would not have any idea what has been done under the bonnet. There was a coment that 'Sports Suspension' is fitted as it rides somewhat firmer than other stags. What it is etc I will find out when I get the vehicle back in Canberra.

I know the XR6 BA turbo makes a whine and does not worry me but being unfamiliar with the NEO6 I was mainly concerned if it was common or, if I may be buying trouble.

Soon as it is in town I shall give you a ring - you are most welcome to have a look.

Regards,

Marc2

I'm a bit surprised that people can hear the turbo whine! I certainly can't hear mine in my R34 GTT Neo based car! Even with the foot flat to the floor, and boost gauge at the top, you certainly can't hear the turbo over the top of the nicely reving engine!

Hi Ian, I can't hear the Stagea turbo whine at high rpm either. But I sure as hell can hear it at 2,200 rpm in fourth, going up a hill when I lean on the throttle and it makes 0.7 bar. All else is very quite just, the sound of turbos in the mist.:D

Hmm, if I'm doing 2.2K RPM going up a hill and floor it, being in 4th is not where I want to be! Surely you would have dropped it down to 3rd.. :-)

Hi Jay,

Well we now have a SII Pearl White 'STAG' residing in Canberra. Rather dirty from the trip and needing a good wash. Spent yeaterday getting it registered and will endeavour to get it up on the hoist over the next couple of days to have a good look underneath.

All I need to do now is start to work out the priorities on my 'shopping list'.

Regards,

Marc2

ps Managed 16.01L/100km on the run down. I must admit to pushing it a bit and having a great time using the steering wheel mounted triptronic. Maybe not the best time for an economy run!

Just a little OT - how responsive is the semi-auto shift logic? In my experience the Magna & BA Falcon are SLOOOWWW, please tell me the Nissan change is snappy.

The old Magna one was widely recognised as one of the worst in the world, with the Ford piece of crap not far behind it..

The nissan M-AT box is actually quite good (I've got one in the R34 GTX Turbo) . Using the paddles - downshifts are very fast, upshifts have a small lag, but you get used to pushing the button a fraction of a second before you need it (we are talking parts of a second, not seconds!)...

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
