@John: If you haven't sorted your alarm yet, check the "programmable options" . You know how i said my boot alarm wasn't working, well it turns out, neither were the doors or bonnet :S. Turns out the settings had got reset at some stage and "Turbo Timer Support" was turned off. So when i locked it with the engine running (on timer), it was just locking the doors and not arming the alarm. All good now, maybe yours is a similar issue?

Cool. I'll check it out.

Apparently the guy who was asked to install an alarm/immobiliser didn't install a siren though... OR hook it up to the horn in place of a siren... so who knows what else he took liberties with. But I'll check it out anyway :D

ps second pic looks weird cause there was a existing dint in the quarter. have not finished the other side, fronts however are done.

Afternoon all. Sorry for my epic fail last night lol. I got all my shit packed today. Only things left are clothes for the week and bed lol. Fun times ahead.

Yeah... thinking that might be the case because $500 for just an immobiliser is pretty steep :P

your basic m80 mongoose setup is under 200bux to buy outright. and if its the same guy that did tristans 180 id be making him re-do it while i watched... f**king appalling.

i just watched you re-wire mine, twas amazing :P

so neat, so tidy

Been at work for an hour and bored already :P going to be a long week, and a very long 3 weeks till christmas :D

My weekend was good (except for the lack of touge). Got my alarm sorted (although my boot release is proper fried, it won't be working without replacing the alarm unit), got my bonnet struts installed (MASSIVE win!), and spent far too much time sitting in A/C playing silly computer games :P. Oh, and my witch of a housemate moved out, and the new one seems to be at least slightly less anoying.

That whore!

Martin: come along to the SAU drag day on the 12th. At least that'll be 1 thing to look forward to for a week. And tomorrow is pay day! Thats 2 weeks down.

    • 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.
