Well I've ahd to wait another day for her..which was disappointing but as long as everything goes well.. it'll be in ym hands sometime this arvo..then ill take her for a spin up th dandeongs..weather permitting.. if its too damp I don't wanna tempt fate since I don't know the car that well just yet..but i'll update you all as to how she goes..

for now Im gonna keep it stock..but eventually a stage 3 kit from CAPA looks liek the way to go... FMIC, Capa Flash Tuner, Injectors, fuel pump and Cold air intake for around 3k and netting around 340kw atw seems like a decent upgrade to go along with the exhuast it already has...

well guys picked her up yesterday after some stuuffina round..but I love it..few lil niggly problems I have to get fixed (but thats the beauty of your brother being a ford mechanic)....she goes hard and handles pretty good..haven't given it a real test yet but without the traction control on she sure likes to spin the wheels..1st 2nd and 3rd on dry road..I was quite impressed..

im comparisson to the r33 I think this has power through the entire range where as I noticed my 33 had a lot of grunt off the line but tended to die at the top end...not sure if ANYONE CAN BACK ME UP WITH THAT COMMENT BUT JUST FROM AN INTIAL OBSERVATION...

oops sorry hit caps and couldnt be shagged deleting and re-writing :P

      I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.

      I couldn't agree more. As an owner of a built high HP skyline, I'd be a hypocrite to not buy a Hummer for the reasons you listed though haha.

      Stagea boot lid probs

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Is this the one? https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php?id_product=2192&rewrite=nissan-stagea-c34-rear-boot-actuator-assembly-90550-0v000 Might be worth having a look at yahoo japan as well. Though it seems a bit odd. If the motor works itself, other than being noisy, then wouldn't it be more likely that it's an electrical issue somewhere else? And it being noisy does not seem as surprising if it has been chugging away for months

      Stagea boot lid probs

      By BCs300z · Posted

      I know this thread is quite old, but I found it, it helped me, but I also wanted to add my experience and troubleshooting finds to the chat for others. I have not been able to open the rear hatch of my 97 Stagea for several months. Figured it had just really sealed itself up over the winter and I would just get to it eventually. Well that day was yesterday. Some time ago, I noticed my battery was going flat all the time. It was frustrating. Then one quiet night in the garage, I could hear and ever so slight humming / grinding noise coming from the back of the car. It was like a really quiet popping sound or something like sand in a very low speed blender. I took off the panels in the back and noticed the noise coming from the auto close motor, so I unplugged it and the noise stopped. And the auto close was disabled. Well, fast forward to yesterday, I tried all the tricks with power and fuse and lock and unlock and I still could open the damn hatch. So I took off the panels from the inside and found the auto lock had engaged and was stuck in close position. When plugging and unplugging the fuse, I could hear the relay clicking. So I plugged the autoclose motor back in, and the damn thing let go. And immediately started making that grinding sound again. This time, instead of just unplugging the motor, I pulled the fuse, thus depowering the relay entirely. I don't have the autoclose feature now, but at least I can open the boot and not have my battery being sucked dead all the time. Not sure what caused the motor to latch when it was unplugged from the system, but I am pretty sure it won't cause any more problems now.  If anyone has a lead on a new motor, please let me know. It's a cool feature that I would like to get back.  Hope this helps.
