Greetings :D

Recently purchased myself an RS4 series 2 Nismo in black. Loving the car! :D

Only 33K kms on the clock. Drove it 1700kms from Sydney and it ran like a dream.

Already fitted SatNav, TV tuner, DVD player and sound system for entertainment.

I've got a T3/T4 hybrid turbo coming for it, as well as a front mount intercooler kit, hi flow dump pipe, 3" system.

Will be unichipped and dynoed for good 'useable' power.

But I gotta stop spending money on it soon LOL :D

hello and welcome!

the black with the gold mags looks excellent!

and 2 stageas in the family hey? do your parents own an oil rig?

No. No parents who own an oil rig. I stopped living off mummy decades ago LOL

What? A guy can't have enough money for 2 RS4s? :laughing-smiley-014:

I have a decent paying job and no bills to worry about ... so my money go towards my toys!

As well as the Stageas, I have a Suzuki Liana GS sports model (car) ...

And my bikes are GSXR600 race bike (for sale), a Suzuki TL1000R modded and as a Rizla Suzuki replica, and a beautiful Italian ... MV Agusta Brutale.

I think I have too many toys :D

Welcome aboard! TWO Stageas is bound to bring a lot of enjoyment, and when you add that nice lot of bikes it can't hurt.

You almost ruined it with using "Liana" and "sports" in the same phrase - that's a big No-No - but we'll let you off this time. :D

The Liana was a very good car given today's petrol prices, but it wasn't enough "fun" :D But if I had to own one, it had to have sports suspension and bodykit so it at least didn't look too "girly" LOL

So I thought bugger the fuel prices ... time to own another fast car! :D

Here's a pic of the Brutale ... pure italian beauty and engineering ...

Sold the Liana anyway as I crashed my bike and broke my shoulder some 5 weeks ago. No way could I drive a manual.

Now the shoulder is healing and I can drive a car again! :D So I'm driving the RS4 when I can.

welcome bud and nice ride you have there good luck with it i bought mine 9 months ago and i still cant stop spending money on it .i keep saying i will stop with the mods but i can never help my self .and in ssshonky defence i fairly sure he was talking about the stagea was never good on fuel and i can vouch for that the old $90 bucks dont get you far . good luck with your sweet ride mate .

haha.. yeah I was refering to them being thirsty beasts indeed.. but you sound like you got the fuel bill sorted :D

see we arent the only ones that buy one stagea and then just have to buy another :)

Welcome looks like a really nice example of a stag ;)

Thanks Kirstie! The Stag is an excellent car. I had intended to buy one from an importer and resell it locally for a bit of $ and then buy another one to keep. But I purchased this one and fell in love with it. And at 33,000kms only and such top condition, I had to keep it.

So now I've bought another Stagea to drive for a bit and then sell to a friend :whistling: But I'll probably end up keeping this one too :laughing-smiley-014:

There's a few friends of mine who are into Stageas. We've already been on a few cruises. We gotta get a "Stag party" happening! :)

beautiful bike :) im a big fan of MV Agusta - especially the F4 CC

You can't go past the beautiful engineering of these things. I admired these bikes for years ... now I own one. :)

Very nice looking Stag you got there, I agree the black and gold looks sweeet. Very low k's too, thats only 3300 km's a year, which is around 8 tanks of the expensive petroly stuff a year. I've only had my stag a bit over a week and filled her up twice already! :whistling: Just keep an eye on things like seals because with such low km's they would have a tendency to perish over time.

Reuben, the car is rego'd in NSW, but are you taking it back interstate, or do you live in/around Sydney (I can't recognise any of the spots in your photos, and can't make out what state is printed on the number plates either)?

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
