Hey Guys and Gals,

I have a small, but very annoying problem with my Stagea. The passenger door seal is stuffed, and everytime I either wash my baby or it rains, a very small amount of water leaks inside. Its a 1997 S1 Dayz. I have used the search and for sale functions, but to no avail. I am based in Perth, and was wondering if anyone knew where I could source one? I have tried Japwreck in Cannington but they had no idea what I was talking about.

Any help would be awesome

Mark

Hi Mark

When you say "it's stuffed" exactly how is that? Is it torn? If it isn't it maybe just window adjustment.

If it is damaged then try the dealer that you got it from, as most dealers (importers) will help source parts to THEIR customers.

Otherwise, Nisswreck may be able to help. email [email protected]

Or check out their website.

There are a few wrecking around Oz.

NZ could also be a good place, the rubbers aren't heavy. So try www.trademe.nz

Good Luck

Try Japwreck in Beckenham - I dunno if he has one, but the bloke there used to have a S1 - I don't even know if he still has it, but at least you can rest assured he knows what you are on about >_<

do you have sun roofs? are you sure it's door seals?

I have a leak from my sunroof, runs down to passenger footwell at the a pillar right next to the computer, only when I park nose downhill. Aparrently there are drains from the sunroof that can block and cause a leak

Thanks for your help everyone. I really appreciate it.

To answer some of your questions:

Appealing: No its not torn, there just seems to be a gap from the top of the window to the top of the door.

Duncan: No sunroofs on mine, so thats not the problem :) Thanks for the suggestion though.

I will try some of you guys and gals suggestions.

Again, thankyou all for your help. Wish me luck.

Mark

HI Mark.... in that case probably won't be solved by putting in another.

Try re-aligning the window, you might get a little more height on it, more often though it is the angle of the window. You might be suprised what you can adjust out.

The other thing that is also likely is the door hinges may be worn and showing it the window seal.

try taking some measurements against the passenger door.

Cheers

John

    • Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)
    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
