I like the carbon air box Mark, is it a custom job or did you buy it from somewhere.

I must get something similar b4 the hot weather really sets in.......no point having pods with a HAI, I reckon the stock panel filter with a CAI setup would be better in the middle of summer.

Just a quickie

RB25 and RB20 turbo share the same sort of inlet yes? ie if I was to get an alloy intake pipe for an RB20 turbo, would it fit the 25 one no dramas?

Wanna get the shitbox fluttering its tits off for some cheap laughs :)

Time for a bash through the hills then. ;)

ya know im always down for a hillzy with a dale but the bald tires and shot suspension have me sketching... once its all done u'll be the first a call for a decent cruise.. always happy to whatch the big blue flames come out the back of ya beast!

hey pete! the carbon box is a just jap item i bought through the forums... saddest thing is i had to cut alot away for my old plumbing setup now i have heaps of gaps... you have to seal all the underside of the pipes reguardless, to creat the full box that protect from hot air. still in the middle of making bottom section up.

al in all i think the modded stock panel+box is the go. i was looking for one before i got the piping... now i cant do it but if the mines 34 has stock airbox u should too :)

On that note, has anyone had any success with these, it drives me nuts trying to set it up.

They have all the basic sorta principle, all have the same features you need to change, only thing is yours is a bit fancier than the rest and may have some other safety features.

Got quoted about around $780 for the 100,000km service on the stag, but not including a new water pump. Apparently it doesnt need to be done until it starts leaking?! Reckon this is fair or who knows where we can get it done cheaper??

Hey Ryan&sez, By all means choose who you feel comfortable working on your car, however, if your not happy with the price you have to pay for a 3 hour job on your car then i'll do it I've done about 10 or so for forum members and try to keep it fair for both you and I. I use all Genuine parts (your choice obviously) I've seen some water pump's leak at 40,000km and some water pumps that will never leak so it's not a good indication of when to change it. Because if your going to change the water pump you might as well do your timing belt aswell.

Oil (your choice)

Oil Filter (genuine)

Timing Belt (genuine)

Water Pump (genuine pumps are expensive and generic one's are pretty good at half the price)

Coolant (genuine)

Tentioner and pulley (usually dont show any wear at all and are fair expensive to change every 100 thou)

Drive belts ( powersteer, air con, alternator)

PM me for more info on prices etc.

well we just witnessed ben blow the rest of his cat out tonight... a few gunshots and flames...
lol, it was sort of like a fireworks display coming out the back of the wagon :)
haha , that scared the shit out of me , big cloud of black smoke then bang bang bang ;)

MY first words... "you killed it!!" haha

they were some pretty big flames... hehe

it lit up the freeway pretty good!

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
