  1. I'm in wollongong not far from sydney. How much?
  2. I hit a few too many rabbits with the inter cooler and now it's showing signs of leaking. I don't need any piping just the actual cooler. Please call me on 0434588114 if you have one.
  3. Can anyone help me out or at least point me in the right direction?
  4. I just had a look. I do have the washer bottle without the pump or bracket. It's also from a GTS not a GTR my bad. If the bracket is the same as the GTS and you can provide a picture of what it looks like then I may be able to match with a bracket that I have kept from the half cut. I have a box of all these weird R33 GTS brackets for fuel lines, relays and other stuff that I thought i may use one day.
  5. I saw one on ebay today for $499 buy it now. The guy paid around $800 for it and it hasn't been on a car yet. I just had a quick look and I can't find it now. I was looking on my mates laptop so I don't have the search history on here.
  6. Hi all. I've noticed that this hose is very hard and now cracked leaking some oil into my lovely engine bay. If you know the part number for a new one or an aftermarket one I can get that would be fantastic. It also feels like there is a one way valve in it. It's the pipe that comes from the top of the T- piece on the tappet cover without the oil cap in it as seen in picture then goes to a pipe near the inter cooling piping. Any help would be fantastic.
  7. I did have a washer bottle kicking around in the back shed and I may have slid the bracket on there too after stripping the half cut. I'll have a look tomorrow. Too cold now. No guarantee that I have one, just a possible might have one.
  8. Thanks for reply Chris and yes it does help.
  9. http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...id=1285A18A8FEB I keep going back to this one on car sales. For the extra money I'm looking at the 260rs models.
  10. That is sig worthy right there. That was almost as good as the trike of death.
  11. Worst points -Too low of a seating position. Much worse now after back operation. Long distance kills me. -Not enough poke -Stigma that can come with Subaru's. People think that your trying to better than everyone else. -Pretty tight in the back seat -Fuel compensation don't much performance. Best Points -Very quiet ride. Even when the exhaust manifold crack sounding like tractor we had no idea it was leaking until people would stare at us. I eventually opened the window and heard the noise. -Awesome brakes and I like the hill assist feature. -Big boot (Iknow not as big as the Stagea) -Handling is so good. Best handling car that I have ever owned. -Nice finish inside and everything still works. What's gone wrong service wise? (69,000-255,000 klms) -Exhaust manifold dump pipe (?) cracked and covered by warranty -Front pads changed twice and disc machined twice -Rear pads once -Battery once -Timing belt twice (last time did all the pulleys too) -Normal oils and fluid changes -Rear diff bushes changed (Maybe cause it's lowered) -Camber kits fitted to car to help tire wear. -Clutch replaced recently -Hose to clutch cylinder replaced So that's what I'm trying to find out how good the stagea is. I know that the Stag has the best 6 in world in it already, just trying to work out the rest of the car.
  12. I was working on a bike today in my workshop and I was having a good look at the dash for signs of it being tampered. All the screws at the back looked like they have never been touched until I noticed a bracket to hold the wiring in the wrong spot. I gave the dash a clean and you can see a smudge mark on the inside of the glass. I wonder how that got there?
  13. I'm actually comparing it as an overall package to my current family hack 2001 Liberty RX wagon. When I really boil it down, will I be happy in a stagea as I have been with the Subaru?
  14. Great advice guys so far keep it coming.. Stooge007 Wow, I thought the stagea would eat the GT liberty. Maybe I have be spoilt driving me RB25 Torana hatchback. That has awesome pickup..The fuel it uses isen't to far from the 2.5 4 banger liberty. How smooth is the drive though? Bubba Would it be better to try and get a stagea that hasn't be molested (Modified) or just make sure that if it has been modified then it has been done properly. What does the RB26 version go like? That's the version I keep getting attracted to. I can say to my wife that because we have two kids it wouldn't be fair to have a single turbo. What do you think my chances are?
  15. I'm in the game of restoring CBR 250RR and I find the same thing with these bikes. Most (if not all imports) have been wound back I don't get involved in this sort of act as a moral stance although it' so easy to do. With the bikes there are so many tell tale signs that indicate how many klms are on it. There are marks for example on bolts that have been tighten from factory and this helps me identify the legitimate ones from the bad ones. What sort of things can you look for in cars for example that would be a true indication of klms even after the dealers magic shiny spray stuff? For example, would worn lettering on wiper stalks or worn pedal rubbers give you a rough idea on klms?
