And to make me stab you ;)

2530s shall do me just fine but at this stage it's still going to be my 2860-7s. SOMEONE buy my turbos!!!!!!!!!!! Haha no matter what I put in I'll always want to go bigger better faster. I can't help myself.

I saw some losers at Gunners with a 33 GTST with a GTR badge on it. Parked mine and got out and they watched me pull up and were looking at me... As I walk past I just simply said "At least mine's real". Hehe they didn't say a word.

Just a little update.... Car is going to be sprayed on Thursday at this stage. Wheels are fixed and getting delivered early next week so hopefully they're looking good.

Bottom end of my engine is about to be assembled. Was a bit of a wait on a few extra studs and things that we decided to change at the last minute. Hopefully will have some piccies in the next few days. The porting of the head is almost finished and Greg is going to do some flow testing.

Happy days, it's all starting to come together!! 4 weeks without my baby so far, wow it's been a long 4 weeks!! :P

Id stick with the genuine R32 one, maybe get some new red on it and some gloss

Also coilpack cover I leave on, but everything else that matters is ceramic coated (turbos, manifolds, dumps, fronts) so the only heat will be coming from the actual motor in mine. Its not hard to pull it off though or vice versa, definatly get it sprayed at the same time with the other covers though :blink:

R32 badge is dead to me. It won't even be the same colour as the car anymore so 34 badge is going on. Also matches the front grille badge. Coordination is a good thing!

As for covers I'm still undecided. They're all getting painted up anyways so will see what Ed wants to do when he puts it all back together.

So if nothing goes wrong I'll have it back in 2 weeks!!

I'm just waiting on a call back to confirm where the engine is at.

Paint is finished, car is getting put back together as we speak. Colour looks damn awesome!

Will be back at Autotech on Monday ready to get it's engine put back in ;)

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
