what can i say.. silver bumpers on a yellow Stagea don’t look "that bad".. or at least that's what my girlfriend told me as i looked at my car in disgust after putting them on

Its fantastic to see what you find when you take parts of the car off.. looks like the car has had a bad hoist experience :| (drivers side)

a big bad chain of events has lead to this.. but will give a good result i hope! basically i took the entire kit off to go in for repair this week (as every part of the kit has some sort of crack on it.. both from when it was in Japan and here in Australia :rolleyes: ) so the silver bumper bars have gone on the car to keep it on the road and driveable as it’s my daily car.. plans are to keep the rear bar and side skirts but sell the front bar (once its repaired) and the dayz guard flairs to make way for the R34 GTR front end and freshly repaired rear and sides..

i also just got my one of my wheels back from being repaired.. she has degenerated a fair bit :thumbsup: but everything is looking extremely bright for the end of the month :ph34r:

but its not all bad, i got a nice little surprise when i was taking off the rear bar.. i found this tool under the carpet :) (not the removable panel that covers the spare, but the panel that has 3 10mm's holding it down on the drivers right)

yup.. defiantly looks like a taxi :P that was my first thoughts when i saw it :( the colour match is horrible... i was thinking about getting the standard bars sprayed before installing but keeping it ugly is more motivation to get the work done faster!!

not sure who will be doing the work yet.. im going to take it around for quotes on weds..

it looks like its been "repaired" before :)

I’m going to get the entire kit professionally restored and strengthened (unlike whats been done before) so this sort of shit doesn’t happen again (at least for a while, who knows being fibreglass)

i got some strange looks driving today.. i can pin point the meaning of "wtf" down to the look one guy in a liberty b4 gave me today :( not enjoying this one bit

no one has jumped in the back yet! but i have my meter and 300% extra stagea charge ready :D

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
