I meant impossible... What's going on Mr Steve? You missed a good day on Saturday :P

I have seen many-a-photo, it would appear i did, sadly there is always something on my damn car that needs work and stops me enjoying it... shakes fist

He is from Gatton...

So am I. Well kind of, Lived on a farm near to Gatton, Went to boarding School so only really knew a few people there.

I understand VE I just don't give two shits for it when comparing smaller engines cause all I think is "why the f**k didnt they use that same technology and make a 6L?!"

But yes wet weather makes me a grumpy f**k...

Because they didnt need to to meet their design objectives. For example 1uz vs LS1 since thats been the theme for the day.

1uz was designed to power luxo barges, refinement and efficiency were expected, LS1 were designed to power farm equipment with minimal fuss, with no f**ks given about efficiency and refinement . Both engines hit thier design breifs, happy days

In Nick's defence he aquitted himself quite well with reaction times like a spider monkey on Saturday...Just imagine what he could do with a real engine...(waits for the rage)

Thank you thank *takes bow*

Wait

:rant: lol

And that's why my motor powered corvettes for 4 years while yours powered overgrown loungechairs?

Toyota realised early on that V8s are best served pushing lounge chairs and saved the turbos for sports cars.

GM has sadly never realised this

And whats this mine Sh!t! I am not silly enough to bother with either of them

So you went and got something with less than half the capacity and crammed a but load of pressure into it.... Makes sense

Every time! Using exhaust gas (wasted energy) to make positive manifold pressure!? Efficiency orgasm.

Now all i need is an ecu that allows me to lose the dumbass crank sensing set up Nissan lumped us with.

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
