I put up some photos finally. They're in my album.

I recently added the Dolphin front bar (off ebay), and an HKS Silent Hi-Power (from Just Jap). Everything else is how I bought it (already had the Dolphin Grill and eyelids)

Let me know what you think.

Thanks guys,

Yeah, I'm a little on the fence about the eyelids too, might photochop it to see what it looks like without them.

The engine just looks like a regular NEO 6, but I took off the coil/plug cover to keep it a bit cooler. Are they CE-28N's, Grant. Hot!

Exhaust is nice, very deep at low revs turning into a nice growl higher up. It's probably loudest around 1500-2500rpm. Made a big difference, smoother, bit more power, turbo spools quicker. Looks sweet too.

I paid 25G, and now I've spent $1500, uh-oh starting to snowball.

I'd like to get some R33 GT-R wheels, black powder-coat, I think would be the goods. And probably lower it and inch or so, too.

Who's going to the show/shine day at Merrylands? Is that confirmed yet?

R33 GTR wheels definitely look tough on a Stagea, even unpainted! Sydneykid has them on his s1, and he also just happens to have developed a full suspension kit which might suit your needs. I'll be saving towards this soon enough, myself.

I'm going to be at the Show and Shine - I'm actually helping to get it all up and running. We're in the final stages of planning now, and it will all be announced shortly.

Looks sweet. I usually like eye lids personally and want to get some myself but I agree they just don't seem to suit. I don't know if its because its a series 2 or it doesn't blend with the grille / front bar. Not sure, but strange 'cause I usually like them. I hadn't seen them on a series 2 before though. Otherwise it looks sweet. Congrats. Also is it just me or do the lids look a little off shade to the rest of the paint. Maybe thats it. Love the grille though too.

I've taken the eyelids off now. I think the cars looks a lot better for it too, much smoother. And yes, they were a different white than the car, they didn't have a pearl on them either.

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • 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.
