Impromtu photo shoot might from a friend
Footo... needs more aero

bit of a dig, but didn't want to start a new thread.
Does anyone know if you can get the HDI FMIC with black rubber bends as opposed to blue? I'm sure some heat proof paint would do the trick, but i don't have the time and am lazy (at least when it comes to cars atm)

Finally did the brake wire mod yesterday

A cruise I've always wanted to do, but never done is head down the hume to around suttons forrest way.
Take the illawarra highway or something like that out to the coast (nice and twisty down the plateau there) then follow through wollongong and national park road back up into sydney.But of course you're not allowed to do that route until i'm back on the east coast

Don't you know, the key to weight saving in a stagea is to do a big dump before driving...
But seriously, like others have said, i don't think you have a whole lot to gain unless you completely want to destroy the nicety of a stagea. Always drive around with under a 1/4 tank, saves you 45-50kgs in fuel. I notice a difference in acceleration between a near empty tank and full tank.

i'm sure spoolin12 is the same, but alas i did repost it, so if you cock it up I hold no responsibility

There are no DIY's. But its a fairly simple process.
You take out the headlight and remove all the globes etc. Then heat up the sealing rubber with a heat gun. Once hot, you can remove the front clear section and then you paint the inside section. Once painted you can re-heat the rubber and press the light back together. You have to make sure its sealed properly or you will have issues with water finding its way back into the light.
Its not too hard, but you really don't want to make a mistake. A single new light from nissan is about $2800.00. I found out the hard way!
Hope this helps!

Motivational build thread Chris!
Really like the look of the Hiro's wish i was in a position to buy them when you sold them. Can you recall the size of them, tyres and did u run spacers?
Still wanting to black my headlights out too (thanks for that little guide you gave me like a year ago... still hasn't been put to use)
Cheers

Scotty's dump
Front pipe
Apexi N1catback
Sounds good between 3 and 5, bit droney otherwise, and makes some wierd 'wind exiting cannon' sound at full noise...
Will replace eventually -
spotted a yellow c34 on the great eastern highway this morning
-
spotted a champagne m35 on a tv ad on channel seven, something about how everyone on the road thinks they're a top driver... today tonight type stuff
-
But then again I have a friend who had a written letter from the bureau of meteorology saying that fog existed in the area and time she was booked for having fog lights on, and they still wouldn't budge on it, WA pol are the higher authority on weather..
-
Haha okay cheers scotty well in the mean time it all seems to be going well *touches wood* I'm not after massive power, I play with plenty at work, just wanting reliability/no issues with the mods i've got.
-
spotted maybe a dark grey/ maybe even green or blue c34 on gnangara road on sunday heading west, tried to follow for a bit but was a bit behind and had to go elsewhere.
-
Not sure what u are getting at Jetwreck. As in new turbo? Hi flow etc, because the latter has already been done.
Footo, yes we shall, ps when was your car white (avatar)... haha
-
After a bit of an epic getting it on, finally have scotty's dump fitted, boost picks up nice and early and pulls much better in the mid range.
Cheers for helping the mechanic's out too Scott!
Nick
Ps at what point should one look into, or should I say require some electronic wizardry... emanage, tuning boost control... that sort of thing?
-
Got new pads and rotors fitted, Nothing too special QFM HPX Pads RDA slotted dimpled fronts and standard rears.
-
Dead battery, jump started it after 4 weeks away. Checked the tyre pressure and topped up the washer bottle... riveting stuff I know...
-
you're not alone mine plays up too
-
White m35 pittwater road outside the brooky hotel just now
-
Will drop scott a PM shortly.
Whats the modded actuator jetwreck?
Cheers

I'm seeking some guidance on what i should do to my stagea next. I have a hi flow turbo, and need/want both the dump and the FMIC. I can't afford both just yet, so can anyone recommend which would be more beneficial to go in first.
Cheers
-
mine sounded very similar to the normal sound you posted for ages as well. When my turbo went it didn't quite sound like the latter clip, but it was similar. It didn't even sound as bad but when it was pulled out and apart sure enough the turbo was rooted Based on the similarity i'd be inclined to say yours has gone mate.
I'd hold tight for someone with a more mechanical back ground than myself though

Back in sydney, spotted a black m35 aero kit just finished having a clean at the carwash place pittwater road manly and a yellow c34 Frenches Forest this arvo.
(at least when it comes to cars atm)
M35 Funny Low Power Chirp Sound...
in Wagoneers
Posted
G'day,
Just a niggle I've had with my stag for sometime now. Maybe one out of every 10 or so low power (not on boost) accelerations, if i ease the throttle relatively quickly, I get a relatively quiet chirp kinda sound. Kind of like a turbo flutter sound, but just one 'chirp'.
Anyone have any ideas what may be causing that and a possible fix?
Will try and get an audio clip, but like I said its relatively infrequent and hard to hear.
On another note, finally ordered a FMIC.... only took a year and a half
Cheers
