I wish everything wa sonly 15 minutes away but the government has been building anew Perth to Mandurah rail link right down the Middle of the Kwinana freeway whilst this doesnt put anymore cars on the road the numerous speed changes from 100 to 60 to 80 to 60 to 100 and so forth seem to confuse people as well as the lane diversions and closures which only sloq us down as Perth drivers seem to have an inability to merge with other traffic. I drive to work in Joondalup in the mornings which is a 50k drive from my house and if I leave early enough it only takes 30 minutes but if I get stiuck in traffic it takes over an hour.

Once the roadworks are done at the beginning of next year though it will all be good

and I am sure anyone who lives north of Perth who has to use the Mitchell freeway to get to work will tell you how bad that is with no roadworks

lol, if i get stuck in traffic in sydney it can sometimes take more than two hours to get where i need to go

If I go the long way, and if I get every red light and if I get stick in traffic............

If all that happened, then it would take me a whole 15mins to drive from one side of Rockhampton to the other :yes:

You are lucky to get such a long trip. Prolly even get into OD and even lock it up on a fine day.

Mt. Tamborine is 1min 37secs on a foggy day and dont bother if the weather is fine. Its much better to walk.

How I loooove my retirement.lollollolhahahahaha

PS... It ought to be ESSENTIAL that location is part of registering.???Moderate.

Location is not manditory :dry:

And since you cant get 98RON petrol up the top, you have to travell down the goat track to the coomera BP and damn have to go shopping in Beenleigh, means that you have an AwEsOmE! little exciting drive ;) I have 4.3kms of straight with one 90 degree turn in it, and that is about as exciting as it gets in rocky :yes:

true, he's actually spotted my car. missus was usin it for the day. completely forgot! may seem him around soonish, will be moving to the sunny coast. He'll show me up, though... i am pretty proud to be the owner of the slickest wagon for 129km...

ps you actually looked up those distances?

been started already, but it's quite an old thread. i don't know how many of those people still have stageas

I remember that thread, and I wonder where some of the old members are now...

mcnamg (Glen) is back, but where did madwagon and Jay95R33 go? They were also very instrumental in the early days...

Does anyone else remember any missing members from when we first started posting?

Gary1, he was the previous owner of my stagea, and I dont see any stagea's either, at all.

There is a rumour floating around that there is one in yeppoon (25kms away) but yet to see it or have anyone confirm that yet...

what about DRIFFT or DRIFTT i think it was from perth, he sold his ages ago though and i have spoken to him a few times since. top bloke and very helpful ;)

saft from NZ doesnt post on here very often either but he is a wealth of good info on going fast in a stagea as his dads one ran a high 11 ages ago in a rb26 rs four.

thats about all i can think of.

Nick,

As you probably remember madwagon wrote his stagea off most likely he got something else with the insurance money and is on another forum talking about his new ride.

I thought Jay sold his car as well.

Brad yeah Nigel is very helpful I have also spoken to him since he sold his stagea I think he has a Chaser and a Delica now he is active on the delica discussion forums www.delicaclub.com I think he works for a RAW down near mandurah and he knows the blokes at autowholesale

true, he's actually spotted my car. missus was usin it for the day. completely forgot! may seem him around soonish, will be moving to the sunny coast. He'll show me up, though... i am pretty proud to be the owner of the slickest wagon for 129km...

Qiky - your stagea will show mine up any day. By the way, my sister lives in Narangba/Burpengary, so maybe we'll catch up when Im visiting her. If you dont move closer then 129 k's beforehand

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
