Is anyone going with an M35 Stagea?

My wife is keen on getting one after i showed her a few pics (beats the shit out of buying a Hyundai Tuscon!!) so i am keen for her to see one in person or even better if one is getting round the track we can watch.

Thanks ssshonkey - i prefer to call the mk1 tough rather than cute. I have surprised a few people at the track who thought the car was cute! (12.83 qtr mile)

I will bring the stagea for a look and hope someone in an M35 turns up too.

See you there.

I don`t think you will see one as i have hear of Karl & he will not be coming as for work is to busy,so that is one of only MN35 in perth ????,lookng forwaard to seeing you all on sunday at noon ,cheer`s chuckie.

bwhahah., keen as mustard hey?

I still have this small reversing camera - anyone have a handycam they can attach it to ?

then just get some duct tape and put the camera on the front bar or something

( comes with a 5 m extension lead )

and tape your trip around the track ;)

This can be done? I have a camera and would be interested to trying it :P

Kylie, When i spoke to Mitch the other day he said you guys were going to pay for me :/ Ill send you the refund next week.

Oh. What do you reckon the latest you will know will be? If you cant make it, i MAY be able to fill the spot on short notice. my ph# is 0402 507 738. Let me know by Saturday Afternoon if you can. If i dont hear from you, ill assume you will be there :P

Cheers

Brad

I will come down and watch / film / photograph the action, but unfortunatley, won't be participating in the fun. Can't wait to see so many Stageas in one place. Anyone who wants some footage of their runs, let me know afterwards.

Chucky, i know your planning on a small bbq, but be aware that at times AHG have a food van there. If it is there, you wont be able to use yours as AHG might get a touch upset about that.

A variety of drinks will be available...I intend on having some coke, lemonade etc and water. this is purchased from the extra $5 everyone has paid. I am sure there will be plenty for everyone.

Guys please make sure you have all the little things ready to go for tomorrow (by that i mean license etc as ppl have been known to leave things like this at home). With out these type of things, AHG wont let you drive.

Make sure windscreen is clean, no loose objects in cars etc etc....we should all get the gist of it now :blink:

Daylight Savings changes tomorrow. Keep this in mind and please try to be on time. If you do have issues, it would be great if you can let me know. My mobile number is a couple of posts up. :P

When you get there, please come and find me so i can mark you off the list as being there, and also record the details i need from you (like your name as most of you i only know by user-name here)

Looks like good weather to :thumbsup:

See you all there. Any problems, please let me know :blink:

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
