Its Coming

[marc2]

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

Yeah it's where the ACT Skylines meet up on a friday night. just a big empty carpark with no one to hassle us. we don't do stupid shit, just hang around and chat, then usually go for a cruise

Great stuff Marc. I bet your keen to get it in and won't be sleeping for the next few weeks 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.

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.

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!

[Jay95R33]

Wooohooo, another one in Canberra

Congratulations Marc. Sounds like a nice car.

We'll have to catch up again so I can have a looksee.

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.

Hey Marc2, i'm up northside as well, i live in the flats across from the belco Mall, it'd be awesome to get a look at a series 2 stagea.

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!)...

Ian's post #17 pretty much sums it up in a nut shell.
