I came within a mick hair of owning a 55. Guy wanted to swap for my monaro. I often wonder what if.

Before people jump on the weight bandwagon a 1uzfe is 177kg with no gearbox, and an sr20 is something like 130kg. This can be fixed with correct suspension set ups.

GAH!!! you should of traded... the monaro aint going nowhere.. you can still pick up those bucket of craps for under 10k

NO..Flat NO!. Hot rods are farking ugly imo. Rarely have I seen one that I would call hot looking. Lots of work in them and some good quality stuff too, but at the end of the day its still a chopped up ugly arese bucket.

I much prefer full restos in that vintage rather than rodded shit.

If i still owned that monaro today I could write my own ticket bro. HT gts 350 bathurst edition. have you seen the krazy money they are going for?

Na? :D

Yes. cat back exhaust, simple induction on an auto 130 - 140rwkw. With a manual 150rwkw+.

That s13 has a tuned ecu, haltech i think, the stock 1uzfe ecu is a major let down and a joke. the haltech will push that car up around 200rwkw+ untill he gets some extractors.

We share the same opinion on something. What type of cars, or pure just old muscle cars?

quite a few of the earlier caddys. chevs and even some fords look fantastic in full resto.

Muscle cars do own it for me tho. 68 comaro, some of the vettes. couple of stangs. Never a dodge fan despite their all conquering hemi. The cars were farkin ugly cheap built shit boxes.

You sure could, dad had historic cars, lots of ex racers at phillip island ect, not so much ozzie/american muscel cars. To re right time over agian.

Among other things, oldest MG in Australia, second oldest in the world.

Not everyones thing, however gotta give it respect for what it is and its history.

    • 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.
