Hi everyone!

I think the title said it all...

For all those in adelaide, hopefully you've checked out the SA section of the forum and read about the SAU cruise thats happening today...

I'll be heading into town for it today and was just wondering how many other stageas will be there...

Looking forward to meeting some of you (if not today, maybe another time? should do a stagea-only cruise someday :rolleyes:).

I'm fairly sure Tangles is coming.

It would be great if you show me your car there as i wanna change from the R34 to a stagea

Ok, mine's the white S2 - i'm pretty sure it'll be the only one there. Haven't seen any S2's in adelaide yet, though I'm sure there are a few.

Interesting you want to change to a stagea. IMO the interior of the stagea is slightly better.

I was deciding between an r34 4door and a stagea s2 back in march and finally went with the stagea.

For me it was the uniqueness of the stagea, and the nicer interior, and I think the whole sports wagon thing is cool.

It was all a matter of practicality and the stagea has loads of boot space which we've used many times now. I'm very glad with our decision.

The r34 would've been a lot faster, due to ~200kg less weight but the stagea has AWD to compensate and still has lots of power potential (depending what you want the car for) and AWD is great for driving in the wet. Just gives more confidence.

More pics from the actual cruise on this thread : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...8093&st=200 page 10 onwards................

Sorry - only took a few of the Stags........ my little lad was SOOOOO wanting to climb the big Rocking Horse, "play with me Dadda, play with me" - how can you resist that? :laugh:

Was great to meet you Steve (Pixl8r) - nice and clean S2; pity about that front fender scratch hey! Im guessing you never saw the crack in my rear bar then?

Alex, cheers; you're right, as always, GTT rims on a Stagea without centrecaps looks HORN (imo - others agreed on the day tho)

Apologies for not getting better pics - its hard to watch the youngun, chat to likeminded ppl (great to meet the ledgendary Cubes etc), and take photos too. Top arvo tho, always a pleasure to drive thru the Adelaide Hills...... hell, I even felt my 'chassis' for the first time, LOL :P

Yeah i saw that scratch on the front when i got to the Gold Coast to pick the car up. The guy at the dealer's told me over the phone "ha if you want photos of scratches i'd hafta make some scratches first'...and then i get there and there's like 6 or 7 noticeable scratches. The interior was spotless so it wasn't all bad...and the outside isn't too bad overall. But just another big lesson never to trust a car dealer. I never got to see the auction papers either - even though I asked for them. They said they dont keep them (yeah right - happens to be a legal requirement that they do) - so all I have is several mechanic's word that the km's do appear genuine. And it is auction grade 4.

I thought about GTT rims before - and seeing them on your car really helped. For the money you cant beat them. I've seen some on ebay before, might keep on looking. Not in a hurry - just if i see a bargain sometime...ideally I'd want 18's but i'll never be able to afford a good set of those.

I got plenty of photos. I loved the photos of all the skylines in one big line driving through the adelaide hills...yeah!!

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      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.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
