  1. Thanks Peter! All ok I have a pretty good sense of humor ... Made me laugh. It's standard ATM but hubby and I will do most of the work on the car.

    I know u mentioned in a bikini on bonnet and although it's not a stagea and this pic is Not me would this be suffice ? Hahaha

    Haha awesome.

    Its an R34 so it counts.

  2. Just throwing it out there guys....but from memory I am pretty certain Kate's (M35 H3RWGN) Stagea is actually the family coon so take it easy on our new female member......

    Yeah true, just being a bit cheeky, forget I havnt been around here long enough for people to know not to take me seriously.

  3. Coolant also inhibits corrosion, so first step would be to thoroughly flush and then fill with appropriate coolant/demineralised water mix IMO.

    Thats the plan, I think Ill run through some coolant treatment stuff before aswell for good measure. Do the thermostat at the same time.

  4. Looks like what happens when only tap water is used instead of a coolant/demineralised water mix.

    Thanks for lowering my heart rate a bit, only had it for a week, and I have to start a gearbox swap on my Jeep.

    When I drained it there was only a very faint smell of antifreeze, like it had a bottle of premix put in then topped up with tap water.

  5. Took her out for the first half decent drive with it, to get acquainted and such.

    Very happy with it. I did find it a big laggy for an NA so Im thinking Im going to have to put a kit in the gearbox.

    The guy I got it of said it was a Four wheel, turns out its rear wheel.

  6. With a NA c34? Towing a rally car? Might be a bit over zealous there.

    So 750kg of trailer, and 1200kg of car; how early will you be leaving for an event? Any hills along the way?

    Not my pick for a tow car; that's for sure.

    Ahh you know, figured it weighed in pretty similar to a V6 Holden and the Straight 6 Cherokee it wouldnt be too bad.

    And as for time it would be day before and NZ doesnt have many flat roads.

    Is more of a long term possibility then needing to go to an event next week.

    I still have to rebuild and sell my Cherokee and move to a more car friendly place before I consider it.

  7. I learnt the hard way in how valuable an oil cooler is the other day in my Jeep. Going over a big set of hills, just started blowing smoke. Didnt loose any function in the box to begin with. Now it doesnt have 4th and reverse is almost gone. It did something similar to yours about a year back, thought it was a computer problem, swapped it out and didnt have a problem until the gearbox blew its load everywhere.

  8. Ive got a '94 Cherokee XJ thats been seeing a bit of mud over the last couple of years. Just got my first Stagea to replace it for going up the snow and weekend driving duty.

    Blew the gearbox in it about a month ago and havnt used it since. Just got sick of having to put so much money into it and only use it 4 or 5 times a year.
