Hi guys

I just picked this up from Brycey:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fs...Da-t212690.html

Havent had a chance to drive it much yet, but looking forward to the 10 hour drive back to the gold coast this morning lol

The car will be my daily and will double as a towcar for my evo 6RS- best of both worlds!!

Cheers,

Mitch

Excellent! Congrats!

It will be good to have another Stag on the Gold Coast: there's so few of us...

Awwww man, Bryce could have at least brought it down to the Thursday night Coasties meet ONCE, couldn't he? *shakes head at Brycey*

Oh well, like Ian said, at least it'll be staying within the club.

Congratulations, and welcome to the Stagea crew!

hope the drive went well mate! and i really hope you enjoy it as much as i did :)

im very happy that it has gone to someone who is in the loop, as ian said

and sorry nick :P i was a bit slack :(

hope you love it mate :):(

Wicked cool brycey.... loved that ride of yours, will be good to see it out on the next cruise still.

Welcome to the club mitchy! i only got my 260RS a couple of days ago! im from th narangba area which is about 1.5hrs north from you i reckon. Cruise again in a couple of months. August i reckon.

  • 9 months later...
absolutely adore the car but it really needs some better wheels to fill out those guards :down:

since taking those shots i've installed some big ass spacers

but yes- some r34 GTR rims would looks pretty awesome i reckon!

nice cars mitch. :)

is the TME new-ish? i think you only had the stag and RS last time...

i was tossing up between a legnum and an evo 6 when i bought my leggy in late 07.. ended up getting the leggy due to price, then evo prices came down :/

Hey Mitch,

If you are ever on the south side of Brisbane on the weekends, drop and we can compare r34 fronts and you can try my 34gtr rims just to tease you :D

You would still need to run spacers on the front with 34 rims as the gtr front is wider in the guards. I need some as well, probably

20-25mm

nice, nice, nice and nice grass too :)

out of curiosity, what do you do for a crust?

retail banking :ermm:

nice cars mitch. :laugh:

    • 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).
