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.........

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
