Spotted a sweet looking white Stag with black graphics down the side and got a bit of a wave this arvo in the North-eastern area.

Yeah which Mazda dealer do you work for Bec? The CX7 is not too bad .... I much prefer the build quality and after-sales support of Hondas, but might have my arm twisted if a premium black with black leather CX7 came up with under 30,000km at the right price.

Guys, unfortunately the wife wants a bigger SUV style car (for children transportation), so V35 sedan and Stag are out (she currently has a Honda Accord Euro Lux, which we bought new).

Spotted a black 33 gtr on flagstaff hill road, at about 7.20am whilst i was on the bus. Had some sexy rims on it too.

and a silver 34, with gold BBS rims, parked on pirie street, at about 12pm or so.. XLJ- something

the stag is out? really? The M35 would be longer than the CRV. So the horizontal space would be more in the stag...whereas the CRV has more vertical space. If you dont like stacking things (and your kids aren't 3m tall) then you'll possibly have more usable space in the stagea. It'll even take a rear-facing baby seat no worries at all :D

As for rear seat room, its more cramped sitting 3 people in the back of my in-laws' toyota prado than my M35 stagea. And I can fit more in the boot without anything getting squashed. Not sure of the dimensions of the CRV but most of these 4WDs are actually smaller widthways and lengthways than a stagea.

Anyways, I'll take my "stagea fanboi" hat off now and leave you alone... :)

nah she doesn't want a real 4wd - just a pretend little one that is bigger than a sedan, but not so big as to be a bugger to drive around. Even the CRV is not that comfortable for long trips compared to the Accord Euro, so she is rethinking a bit. I am working on her for something like a Grange .... bigger than the Euro, but still a normal car, rather than a big clunky 4wd. We often do interstate trips (Warrnambool and Great Ocean Rd this Xmas), so really want some serious comfort. And she NEEDS all the important things that the Euro has like leather seats, moon roof, seat heaters, auto headlights, auto windscreen wipers, etc etc.

Dont do it mate, better off getting a Caprice. Highly inflated HSV prices for not a real lot more. Im with Bec, go a CX-7 or CX-9 Andrew

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
