ME!

Every, EVERY time that I go down the driveway and see my car for the first time in the morning I think to myself "I made the right choice" and smile at the same time.

Sure, she blows a bit of smoke sometimes. She eats a lot too. Sometimes she just doesnt like the new things i buy her, but she always finds something she likes(or i make her like).

Expensive as she may be, you know what, at the end of the day she is always there for me when i need to give it to her hard....and she never complains about it! :P

lol I'll get a stagea in a couple of years, right now I'm happy with a GTS4 (which is basically a 2 door stagea anyways). I dunno, its a toss up between a W35 stagea and a Y34 gloria, all depends on what stage in my life I'm at.

Every second person that see's or goes in my car seems to now want one as their next car.

Stagea's rock.

Ive definately got a soft spot for my wagon; thinking Id like to finish off the family with a Series 2 Neo tiptronic Stagea as well.

Just washed her moments ago and it feels great to caress her lovely smooth panels, and see her skin shine and sparkle in the sun, dripping wet and showing off in the driveway.

Brendan, that is going a bit far cheif :D

I have never, never, never done that myself, ever. Well maybe just once but nobody saw me.

I luurrve my 260RS and my wife now loves my old Stagea.

My dog doesnt like either of them.

I love mine but it hasn't really been drivable since early November and I'm getting really sick of pulling it apart and trying to put it back together over and over again.

The comments from family and friends have now turned from praise to "your a fkn idiot why don't you just get a normal car", "you should have left it the way it was at least it was drivable" etc

I can see my self cracking it soon and selling it.

Ditto to the aforementioned comments. Between the wife, the stagea and me it is a sordid love triangle.

So far the best thing about living in Gumpie land is that I'm the only who has that warm fuzzy feeling and hope to have it all (the warm fuzzies) to myself for a while yet. Only two Gumpieites have said "hey, love your Volv..!!" Even my mad R33 mate with 300+KW is livid because the Stagea is so driveable. As the promo goes, "Luxury, Sporty yet functional".

Living on a major road I see a lot of cars drive by and I can't help but laugh to myself, thinking "you paid $50,000+ for that Clubby and you're only just getting the options my car came with standard 5 years ago! And I only paid 22!"

Often when I kiss my wife goodbye as I go to work I look past her at the Stagea and think..."you know you've made the right choice."

Well, its like my dads car, a 97 VS acclaim.

I get in it, it rattles, its slow, it has all little stupid things breaking, its poor deign, feels like crap.

Stagea feels like a dream after driving that bastard. For 97 tech, AU was DAMN far behind.

Chris, Chris's car is the silver on in the Melbourne meet number one thread. Dayz front bar, Buddy club P1's, FMIC etc.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By feartherb26 · Posted

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
