Well.....

My gf and i bought a rex together for her, picked it up the sarvo. 99 model 59k kms, forged pistons and sti rods, other than that standard and i put the exhaust on the sarvo. As my r33 is still bein rebuilt (at the machinist atm so waiting for the block and its done finally hopin in the next week or two and its finished), i havent actually had any boost in bout 7 months. So i took the wrx for a very conservative run in the hills just then, and it was so so sweet that feeling of boost again oh boy theres goin to be a cruise soon as the r33s ready i cant wait. But as i said hmmmm boost is so so sweet......

Yeh nice work Dan......... I drove a auto WRX the other night also, found it to be surprisingly laggy off the line, but once up and going they pick up quite nicely! Just gota watch the g/box with them, cos............. BANG they go! but im sure your missus will be fine in it!

LOL @ Deluxe :P

Not a case of "missing" boost, but with the highflow installed last week, and the all important extension of my seat rails - cheers Pete, Im loving this "new and improved" boost! hahaha

sad but true, highflows are just so suited to Stageas. hell, Im even experiencing loss of AWD traction :D

now thats a first for me.

hoped the rebuilt '33 goes well, good luck with the runin

well given im missing my licence right now wen i got to drive the sissior lift around the other day was my little moment

sorry to hijak just had to share my moment as well

lol, guys i can relate. my 33 has been defected for a month or so now and ive been driving around in an....

EA Falcon :huh::kiss:

i drove my 33 on monday to regency on factory boost and ecu, i was so happy just to feel the boost and power.

even tho it was nothing compared to before :rofl:

i have an addiction to BOOST... ect.

not being nasty, but good luck with the gearbox.

whatever you do dont stick anything other then the standard clutch in it.

a mate has spent more money on replacement gearboxs and rebuilt gearboxes with dog gears etc then what he payed for the car. (im not joking)

and any work you get on the trans has absolutely NO Waranty.

2 days later Bang! another $5000 ouch.

Hence now he has sold the car and purchased a nissan.

Just be carefull is all im saying.

Yeh i realise this lol, but im keeping it standard except for the 3" zorst. it has had the 1st-4th syncros replaced in it and has a sti clutch in it. My gf wont be launching it or smashing it into gear i have been teaching her to be very careful with the gearbox, but thanks anyway :-) .

For that kind of money in broken box's, wouldn't they have been better off upgrading it to an STi 6 speed? From what I know these are meant to be a lot stronger than the POS that's in every other WRX.

Hey lads.

Thats the info for Aarons Sliding Performance highflow turbochargers, with prices on the 1st page. Although you must check the availability tho, he's a busy man.

I supplied a shagged R33 turbo to be highlfowed (thanks Bunta), and I had a shagged R32 turbo on hand too (was an ebay highflowed VG30 turbo, LOL, not - I got jipped). Aaron gave me a decent deal for the supply of 2 turbos, the R33 for the highflow and the R32 simply for his stock.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
