Mine? If so, thanks! :D

If not, carry on... :P

PS when do you get your engine?

lol, yeah I meant yours.

engine should be here soon. it's all finished but I have another one being built for a mate so just waiting for his to be finished so I can send both together. the wait is killing me.

Ahhh nice one. I saw it in your other thread, looks nice mate.

The wait is starting to get to me too... It's been off the road so long, and is finally close to being complete. This is the hardest bit I think.

shoulda got the other one :)

Yeah, I was going to suggest next time he photographs his tough engine he should move the clutter from in front of it, then I realised with huge disappointment that the clutter WAS his pride and joy :D

Masochists abound...

lol, you arse monkeys. who would want a stupid bloody toyota mota?

next time I'm at prime I might have to accidentally lean on an engine stand and knock the bastard over. Far too many 2Js in there stinking up the joint.

ok, I admit, that was pretty funny.

that big ass grin gone from ur face yet russ after the short track day on tuesday? :P

Well, if you were to buy it for me I wouldnt say no :)

Rivals? Only if it's friendly. And there's no vendetta's either. Competition improves the breed and currently you're the fastest on the Sprint. Seems it's what everyone uses it as their yard stick and I kind of like the idea of Superlap/Time attack though I'll always prefer proper circuit with others diving for the same corner. Wish I had your budget though, boy the things I could do to the Mk2 then :(

More 2J's then RB's can be taken 2 ways though Shane.

1- 2J is becoming more popular for people to modify

2- 2J breaks sooner so have to be in workshops getting rebuilt...

As for TopGear, its fun but I'll more then likely only be watching this year too. I'll try and compete in only the JDM rounds at the QRDC events this year. Would be nice to have more contenders this year though. The most JDM cars entered last year in one round (other then MX5's) was about 9 I think, 6 or 7 of which were WRX's and only 1 of those actually lasted to the final race on Sunday. A couple didnt show, another blew a box, another blew an engine etc etc. Would be nice to see some of these fast Skylines and S13/14/15's out there.

keep me posted john! and i will try to make it to some of your races!

whens your next one?

The first Qld Raceway Drivers Championship round is on March 8th and 9th but I doubt very much that I'll get out to it as the 180SX wont be here by then or if it is, it wont be ready. Just not enough time for it.

After that its a TopGear round on 20th April which I'll most likely attend and the 2nd round of the QRCS is 3rd/4th May which I will definately be at.

However the 180 won't be anywhere near as fast as your R32 so don't expect any competition from it. It's intent is as a girls car don't forget :yes:

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
