The weekly Coastie Cruise is back for the new year, starting tonight!

Oh, and by the way, I'd like to organise a cruise for Sydney and NSW owners either late this month or early- to mid-February. Who's keen, and who's got suggestions for a route and destination? I was thinking taking Putty Road up into the Hunter Valley...

Who's coming up this week? We're thinking of taking donations for the bushfire appeal - my sister works for Unilever, and they're matching all monetary donations dollar-for-dollar.

Okay guys n gals, some of you may or may not know about the weekly thursday night meet/cruise to the coast. For those of you who

dont know, just click here or here for a full explanation. Basically we meet at the truckstop at berowra around 7.30pm, and aim for an

8pm departure. You can take the regular highway or go up the old road, its up to you. For the stagea owners who do know about this

weekly cruise, WHERE ARE YOU? I want to seriously get some major stagea representation up there! If you have any questions just

post in the thread or send me a PM i'll be glad to try answer any questions you might have.

If anyone is a little unsure of how to get to the truck stop i'd be more than happy to meet somewhere close on the way, i live in the

hills area. No excuses people, i want to see more stageas up there cos its currently only Nick and myself and we both want that to

change!

Hope to see some more of you up there over the coming weeks.

Once I get my M35 which probably won't be till this Friday I will make it to a meet.

I'll read up on it, but it sounds pretty good to me!

Count me in guys.

2001 M35 Stagea (pending)

Correction to my last post, I may if things work out collect the car tomorrow (Thursday).

All going to plan I may make the cruise tomorrow night.

Any other M35's going? :huh:

Regards

ill be able to drive probably next week, but i cant make this week :huh:

and yeah we need another M35 to show up Stephen! lol

I take it there is a large amount of WC34's but a lack of M35's?

I can understand why, I was initially after a WC34 but the mob I was dealing with didn't have anything I liked in that range. I started looking at the M35 and decided it was a better choice as everything was newer and it's a more current driveline. It's a nice vehicle it just doesn't have the same lines and appearance.

Is your car off the road or are you out of action? lol

Pic of mine attached, make sure you come up and say hello if we both make it next week.

It's a metallic wine red, it's not bad I think it grows on you. I'm led to believe it's a fairly rare colour for the M35.

As for brakes, do you need them? :P Just put a brick on the go go pedal and you'll be right! afterall it's 4wd yes? :huh:

i guess i could just back off a little earlier. they weigh 2 tons so it will come to a stop by itself :huh:

hahah nah its mostly the drugs that are making me drowsy. and if i bring the mrs to drive, theres NO way we could keep up. she has a feather foot. and last time she drove it she scraped half of one wheel on a gutter!!!

Stephen, it would be great to have you along if you manage to get your car tomorrow. We need more Stageas in general, whether they're C34s or M35s... It's usually just me along, Alex comes on occasion, and there's another owner there sometimes because he lives locally to the meet-up spot.

Ian, you should come along even if the missus is driving - it looks like the rain will continue so we'll most likely be taking the freeway anyway...

I might go tomorrow....just have to check with my social director.

If you want to go Ian I don't mind picking you up and dropping you off....let me know....and don't worry I will go the new road if you want......be good to have more M35's than C34's for once aye! :P

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
