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.........

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
