no, turbo will be from Hypergear (TR43 - G2 trim) thinking an intake manifold/fuel rail from CPC and ecu from nistune. Rest of the setup is what i got lying around, intercooler piping will need to be sent out and made. I'll make my exhaust myself

True. I might ebay spec mine if I get the urge later on.

What pisses me off is that Jessica Watson chick, why do I have to pay my good hard earned money for her welcoming party? Imagine how many police, security guards, portaloos, etc were hired for the event. I'm going to work out how much it personally will cost me and withhold it.

But right now I have Becks and the people at liquorland must have left it in the sun for too long, it tastes flat -_-

Everyone is getting upset over this Jessica Watson chick I don't get it? I think it's pretty awesome what she did props to her. I only found out today who she was lol I was hoping it would be Emma Watsons hot younger sister but apparently not.

Fail

Win

Anyone have any advice for getting seized bolts off calipers/wheel hubs? I've used every f**king socket and breaker bar I have + gone and bought new shit and still can't get the f**kers off... used heaps of the degreasing shit that has worked for me before, it gets in and breaks up the gunk. But not on either of these 2 bolts on my LF brake caliper. Gonna stab a kitten soon if I can't get it off.

Orrrrrr anyone wanna lend me a compressor + air tool kit? :):(

I'd use a hammer tbh. Big one.

Hmmmm it's crazy, I've used hammers on spanners/sockets/breaker bars.

I've tried the old jump up and down relentlessly on breaker bar. All that did was move the car, even with the wheels chocked and handbrake blah blah blah.

My best looking option other than a rattle gun is to get another caliper from a wrecker, and angle grind the bolt/caliper off lol. But I'm not terribly confident that it would work 100%, and I'm not sure I wanna risk damaging other parts in there (the disc etc)

You show me you ring spanner I'll show you mine :(

You sly dog, you know you don't have to ask :)

ravi i have air tools and cordless rattle gun

Dannnnnnnnnn that would be well sick if you'd wanna help a brother out... It seems you're the go-to guy for everyone hahahaha. How does the cordless rattle gun work? Is it essentially a cordless drill? Cause it would wanna have a whole shitload of torque behind it to get these f**kers undone...

Hahahaha hollllllly shit.

The wheel hub is 30mm, I have the socket for that on a ...... 1/2" connector I think.

The caliper is around about...14mm or something... I've got the socket as well on a 1/4" connector.

Is that of any use to you?

i'll have to bring my selection of sockets. Most likely will destroy standard sockets with this tool. PM your number. tomorrow arvo ok with you to do this? i'll be there around 5pm or so.

That rattle gun has nothing on my air powered one. It has a little over double that power

Hahahaha jesus titty f**king christ...... I WANT THAT POWER

*that's what she said?*

Yeah sick I'll send you my number... I'm gonna go have another stab at it now and just see what happens

Yesssssss! Got the left front caliper off! Hahaha so that's one thing off the list.

Still need to replace both rear drum brakes and the stud on the front right... then it's everything I need to do.

Is there anything special about taking the hub off? Have a look at the pic, just socket on and rotate to undo? Or is there some kind of cap there that needs to come off first? I can't tell?

Dumb question - how does it remove? Pry the squashed bit up with a screw driver.... then what?

bring the two "split ends" together with screwdriver/pliers whatever (so it's straight again), then pull it out from the non split end

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
