C34 Rear Bar removal. Hey all. Needing to know, as there is a local Stagea with a Dayz kit being wrecked. I'm getting the front and rear bar, I've gotten most of the bar removed but there appears to 2-4 bolts still remaining on the sides that I have no idea how to get to. SO long story short, 2-4 bolts on the rear bar sides, need to know how to get to them. Cheers

So I found the issue... I feel so freaking stupid after spending all day removing and reinstalling the turbo... but at least I now know how to replace the turbo and the one I have is all good.

I hadn't gotten around to that, it was actually my plan to fix that within the next couple weeks. That's about it really. I did also notice that when I stopped getting boost the normal turbo spool noises wasn't happening. Turbo will be out tomorrow so I can check that and the manifold properly.

I took that photo after removing that hose, just sitting there as point of reference as to where it came. The compressor wheel is good, very little shaft play and spins freely. Yet to check the turbine as I'm aware they can end up in the cat. Sadly, I don't have the equipment to test pressure and compression. The downside about moving out of home

I did just find this... Still gonna get someone I know (who knows RBs) to look at the turbo and my spare for just in case it is something turbo related.

That was my first thought, especially as I've installed a CB radio, and cut up the front bar for the intercooler. Since writing the post I've pretty much lost all boosting ability, not even getting wastegate pressure (5psi) now, got a spare turbo laying around so gonna change the turbo later this arvo. The exhaust has new OEM gaskets from the turbo through to the front of the cat when I put in the 3inch dump and front pipe and I can't hear any exhaust leaks.

RB25DET Whistling Hey all. I've recently had an a new issue with the RB25det in my Series 1 C34 Stagea. Last week I changed the plugs and coils, which solved the misfire problems I was having. After getting everything back together I'm now getting what I can only describe as a 'kettle whistle' it's noticable from 70km/h and quite loud at 100km/h ( a speed in which the car drives at a lot), and I do get slight hints of it at around 60km/h. Tonight after double checking the plugs it did feel like it wasn't boosting as much as it normally did. I put in Irridium sparkplugs, and Splitefire coils. Have doubled checked all connections and everything appears to have a good connection, and couldn't spot any lines with fatigued lines. Wanting to know if you guys could suggest anything to check. Mods to car; 3inch split pipe dump 3 inch ehaust, but retaining the stock 2inch cat GFB plumb back BOV K&N Pod filter Return flow front mount intercooler Turbo smart bleed valve set to boost the car to about 9-10psi All these mods have been on the car for at least 3 weeks before the whistling started, and was planning to remove the bleed valve, and put the factory diverter valve back on tomorrow morning before I need the car for work.

Interested in the Cargo net, and rear exterior carbon look pillar panels.

Just a stupid question here, I have a S1 and I'm thinking doing the tiptronic conversion to it from the S2. I'm guessing that I may need to change the trans, and will need to change the centre console, gear stick, and the trans ecu. Just more of curious thing of how possible it is.

WTB S1 Dayz front Bumper/Clear indicators As title says, I'm looking for a S1 Dayz front bumper for my '96 S1. Only found S2 bars on Import Monster. I'm also wanting clear front indicators to help complete the look I'm going for on my Stagea, already have clear rear, clear front sides, now I just need the fronts.

I managed to acquire this for mine, apparently it's from the Dayz edition. But got it for the wank factor mostly Not sure how rare that part is.

Installed a front mount, stupid me forget to get a finished pic before the bar went on. My first intercooler.

My S1, a little rough in the paint but it's mine.

Had mine at a local exhaust shop yesterday getting new exhaust fitted. One of the guys there thought it was a Suzuki. as they were trying to work out what it was.

Changed to a slotted grilled, and debadged it. Only a few clips, so easy swap And resprayed my replacement drivers mirror. Again, only with rattle cans.
