god its going to feel sooo sweet leaving ur ass on the starting line :woot:

hah! this is only a test one in 1.6mm jsut to see if the design is correct (hadnt tested it) and then i can go to 10mm...oh and i dont have my sump back yet :)

i'll even flick it over to 2WD to give u a slight chance andy :woot:

Are you talking about drags?? Because that is truely for the gheys..

hrm.... what do you guys think of toyota aristos?

i sat in one the other day, and must admit, i was very impressed with the build quality, extras, options etc. I haven't actually driven one yet, and i realise that they're no skyline in terms of handling etc, but my focus is sort of shifting these days... i don't necessarily want to go as fast/as fast around corners any more... i want a more 'comfy' ride, but still have a bit of power (the 2JZ-GTE would deliver that) and they're a lot of car for the money they're commanding!

they arent even that bad around corners! I think stock for stock they were about 3 seconds slower than the fast bracket, all of wich had almost identical times eg GTR, RX7, NSX and TT Supra, around motegi when BMI tested them! I would buy one :)

ORLY? What is it? Hopefully it is more simple that pulling the whole forking thing off again?

the clutch plate is on back to front :) which seems more correct as it cant be the thrust bearing, as it's pressed onto a sleeve, and i didnt touch that! just hope the plate isnt farked *fingers crossed*

It shouldnt be! If it is I have another plate we can throw in there

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
