u mean that'll teach u to sell the 32 :)

True that.

As I’m rather pig headed, I refuse to sell the Lexus to some kid for less then what I’m asking now, already losing enough money. So I can’t myself getting another car anytime soon either.

I’d rather trade it in, then give it away privately. Now, just to find a car yard with R32’s that aren’t over priced

hey guys, well i woke up at 10.30am and msgd a mate up the road from me, he said to comedown we would do something, i get there and they are all drinking from the nite before, also a girl i used to go to school with was there her name was elise, ( she is hot) :) but every 1 was off chops, and wanted to go to the bottlo up the road, so i took them there and they made me buy alcohol, ( 2 bottles of vodka for $50) so now i got back there and started drinking, every 1 has passed out im drunk as, and about to go to sleep for a few hours. what r u guys doing??

Gidday peeps, I thought I had sorted my boost leak but upon further inspection i have a huge problem, the outlet for the compresor sits right next to the exhaust manifold (1cm) and the 90* rubber hose I had on there disintergrated :), so now I have to find some thing that will bend quite radically AND take the exhaust temps, plus go from 50mm to 60mm.

I do know of flexi stainless exhaust hose, but its very expenisve. I checked out some marine hoses on the web http://www.southernseasmarine.com/trident/waterhose.htm but they state they are WET exhaust so I am a bit confused on that one but whatever I cant drive it until I get something in there.

Queensland diesel spares is the only place I know of, any others? To get it going I turned the 90* around and stuffed the tube right up it, just tested it and it seems to hold OK so that will do till monday.

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
