Oh, for crying out loud

and slobbering down the sink! :)

I've created another monster :) ...I left the numbers blank because there is nothing to hate..

(except maybe the lack of cruise control)

My wife warned me this would happen...but then when do I ever listen to her... :laugh:

1. lack of drivers legroom

2. lack of drivers headroom

3. lack of backseat legroom once drives seatrail extended to make up for deficit #1

4. should have come stnd with a higher flowing turbocharger

WTF were you expecting?

If everyone loved their stag unconditionally, this forum would be a pretty damn boring place with everyone talking about how they AREN'T modifying their car because it is perfect just the way it is.... :)

The thing that I love about the car modifying culture is that everyone has their own ideas and perceptions on how things should be done.

Oh, and ALWAYS listen to She Who Must Be Obeyed....... :)

Just to piss everyone off

- I have a tow bar

- I have cruise control

- I have the gauges mounted nicely

- I have enough leg room

- I have a highflow turbo

- I have decent fuel consumption (10L hwy, 14L city)

- I have found the upgrade kit (Bilstein/Whiteline) excellent, double wishbones are the bomb

- I have wheels that look great, fit well and don't rub at all

- I have found aftermarket support pretty great, I've gotten every replacement part pretty easily. Just had to use my brain in some cases

BUT, what annoys me

- auto, 4wd and heavy (not AS fun, cant drift/skid it, chews tyres/fuel when on the fang)

So then my question, why isnt someone buying my reasonably priced, well equipped, well performing wagon?

1. I don't drive it enough to enjoy the superior handling from the double wishbone suspension all round :laugh:

2. I don't have enough time to fit all the parts I have for it in the garage

3. The fuel tank isn't big enough when towing the race car (which also has double wishbone suspension all round)

4. People keep wanting to borrow it, fast waggons are not exactly common

5. I keep thinking what it would be like if I just slipped an RB31DET into it :rofl:

:laugh: cheers :P

excuse my nOObness (again) but WTF is a RB31DET??

I have read up on the RB30 upgrade (and am currently in negotiations for my left testicle :rofl: )

as I think the torque gain makes it the most viable mod for the ol' family truckster but what is the 31 bit?

Overbore perhaps?

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
