VERY nice!!!

What is performance like on stock stagea, and whats the going rate?

Also, as if you don't do the R34 GTR style nose conversion! Looks wild.

Maybe I should get a stagea, planning on having kids in a couple years... :)

Cool, nice buy MrBenson - is this car staying in NSW?

I'm in the process of organising a cruise for early April for the Sydney and Newcastle/Hunter region owners and enthusiasts - will you be keen to join us?

Very nice Ride. Looks identical to mine, colour, body kit, wheels etc. - except you have the leather and woodgrain option, so its an RS4V.

I am sure that you will enjoy it as much as I am.

Better get used to people doing double-takes as they go past! :D

yep i'm the roger from melbourne who came to the meet at bells park.

the wife and i flew up to sydney on friday inspected the car and the papers etc,

test drove the car all this took most of the day,

and we were very impressed with it and we needed a car to get back to melbourne so we bought it !

paid $24000.00 with 31000klm's on it.

so it had a good test on the way home, on sunday after visiting relatives.

anyway the worst things about it are minor stone chips and scratches (well it's a used vehicle)

fuel economy.... but thats a smaal price to pay for the enjoyment of the drive.

and japanese tv and navigation (is that possible to get it working here.

the tv screen has a touch screen system in it to play cd's and operat the climate control of wich both work fine.

we have now transfered it to melbourne rego, put the baby seat in,

and we just have to get insurance.

thanks to all that gave me advice and info on the stagea. :laugh:

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
