Had this sent to me a s an email:

I have been driving (legally) for over a decade. One would think I would have noticed the little secret on my dash that was staring me right in the face

The whole time.

I got this on email too.

I've got an AW11 MR2 (fuel filler on the passenger side), and the picture of the petrol bowser has the handle on the right side. So both pictures on the MR2 dash and Stagea dash the same, even though fuel tank on opposite sides!!

So IMO its not true.....

My dad told me about this when I was a kid and over the years I've found it to be true on about 85% of cars so far.. so pretty handy if you're in a mates car and need to fill up without looking like an r-tard. Or just do the pop it open and look in the mirrors!

so what about old falcons and the such that fill under the rear badge or license plate? hmmn.....

today a bloke told me that it is the way the bowser filler tip is pointing weather it's hanig up or out. and for a while this was checking out as correct 300zx, falcon, hiace. but i just looked at my silvia and a commodore and thats false i think its just however the manafacture wants to put the blasted thing

myth.......

Yeah gotta love the old falcons - park any side you want. Makes for a nice clean finish on the body panels too! But yeah just pop it and look in ur rear view mirrors.

I hear stageas use enough fuel you should never be able to forget what side its on!

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
