I hate coming into the qld section, I feel soooooo homesick, still miss all of you so much.......................

I have my 30th bday coming up and am doing nothing for it, well instead of having a party I'm going to a skidpan in July, cant afford to do both.

Everyone I know is in Brissie anyway, sif they'd all drive up to rocky!

yeah, know the being far away thing.. by the time I drive 80 mins to bris, and another 80mins back, for something that may only be 2 hours long - kind of not worth it.

30 eh? you old man you! that makes you AS OLD AS ME.. actually, not quite, few months less..

how is the stagea rocking along?

Yeap it's ok, I sooo wish I could afford a Z32 afm + a full retune at matty spry........................... just dreamin, but still even in the cut down tune it currently has, it still shames most thing up here, even wrx's and man rocky has about a billion of them :teehee:

There is a guy who bought a stagea for $10k who picked it up on Sunday and is driving it back here, so I wont be the only stagea in CQ anymore, not that I was anyway, there was another S1 floating around, and when I had mine in for a service, he came in and got a wheel alignment done........... but I havent seen it in the flesh myself so to speak.

it was never proven!!

I just bought an LS400, so I will at least have the car to go with it ... I can sell all sorts of good drugs using that.

wanna buy a pulsar? does skids..

2 door or 4 door? price?

2 door or 4 door? price?

they're all 4 door? the 2 door is sorta the SC400 (soarer), but not really.. price: $8k? :teehee: like joshies old one, except less f**ked/undercoated/saggy. It even comes with a medical kit and spanners! ha

the question is, ska, how well does the stag skid? :teehee:

Bloody AWESOME! in the wet I can hang it out and keep it out for ~10 secs before the awd finnally brings it back, and how awesome is that, I go from nearly 90 degrees side on, right back to straight and no kickback slewing from side to side down the street.

But with a better tune i reckon I could get it past the 90 degrees and bring it back :P

cool.. so you'll be able to have your own 2 car stagea cruises, and maybe even produce little baby stageas if they really get along :teehee:

hmmm.. tune.. stock tune ftw!

yeah stock tune for good fuel economy...................

$8k for a pulsa, pffft tell him he dreamin!

yeah.. that's the shitty thing.. to save money, you gotta spend money..

I had my powerfc all sitting here, then decided 'nah, i need some money, plenty of them around'.. suddenly they're discontinued and now cost $1500.. ouch. My friggin pulsar isn't even worth $1500 !

bahaha that's funny as, i can just imagine that happening! :teehee:

Yeah and even funnier, when the cops drive by and stop you and ask if i had just seen a "sports car" doing skids, I tell them I saw a white commodore doing skids just a second ago, he went that-a-way officer, and off they go, cause i drive a slow volvo, it doesnt skid at all :P

The wieght of the rear of the stagea is what keeps the backend out so long, you just need to get enough momentum into the rear end, chuck it out and it seems to just hang out there for aaaaages, funny but normally all 4 wheels are spinning too, so the front end does weird things when the rear end is out.........

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
