Hey guys

especially youse with the Yellow stags.

Have you had any issues with paint fading?

I was warned about the yellow not being designed for Aust Conditions and it could fade real easy.

Has anyone had any issues with it. I'm after a manual RS4 yellow preferably with sunroofs and leather.

Cheers Girls & Boys

no issues here :) ... except for the painted plastic parts fading faster than the painted metal parts (eg side moulds, dayz tail light covers etc), but its hardly noticeable

but as Logan has previously mentioned, they do surprisingly attract bee's :P

i have had no issues with the metal bits but have got sunburn on my spoiler where all the clear has flaked off it, and i found that using good old mister sheen stops it for a bit. but as we are on level 4 water restrictions and am not allowed to wash the car it has come back, so i will have to give it another dose soon until i can afford to have it resprayed.

the end covers for the side rear windows are faded too so i am gonna get them done in black so it looks like the windows go all the way back.

so all in all the yellow doesn't appear to fade as much as red which is a good thing.

Have a talk to Chuckie, his car has been in WA for about 18 months, didn't see any issues with the paint the other night.....(I swear that the yellow is even brighter at night).

I don't think that you will find an RS4S (manual) with leather.... they come with a different interior cloth of their own. It is similar to the Autech cloth and also similar to the GTR in texture.

It's a woven polyester...

The only way that you'd find a leather interior is as an option, ('cept I don't think it even came as an option) or by finding an auto that's been converted... (careful!!).

Yellow is also an S2 colour only.... be prepared to pay a premium for the RS4S. Allow about $20,000 all up, you should be able to find a good one, as far as I have seen they are still selling over the Million yen mark.

If you mean suede when you say leather, this is the standard trim for a manual.

If you mean normal shiny leather you'll have to get them changed...

Just so you know what you're up against approx 6-7% of c34's are factory manuals

of those approx 85% are 4wd and about 1% of those have sunroofs you can imagine how many of those are yellow...

Good luck with the search!

These are approximations feel free anyone to make corrections :(

As mentioned the only problems ive had with the yellow are the fact that the bonnet and plastic parts fade faster than the rest of the car.

Car still looks good though!

Ive also had trouble with the clear coat coming off my bonnet :), although i think this may be due to the product i have been using on it rather than the paint quality.

Theres currently a handful of yellow stageas for sale in NZ, however, none are manual :(

with regard to havin any paint rework done all you need to say to the repairer is that you have used a silicon based product and they put these wonderful little things called "silicon drops" into the paint mix and viola all good!

i ahve not had any issues before with repairs etc once ive told em i use mr sheen etc on my paint work.

i have been using it on bikes and cars for the last 20 years after i started using it on my motorcross bikes when i was 15 to keep the plastics looking good, keeps bugs from sticking as hard too, and with the prevelence of water restrictions it is a godsend cos when it finally does rain i can get out in it with a sponge and give it a wipe over and pretty much clean,save for heavier stuff it requires a bit of soapy stuff and all good.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
