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

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
