Well gidday. I believe there is a growing Stagea club of some sorts in the UK - some really good cars there. If you're not already in touch one of them may see your post. Need bigger photo of your ride.

Yes I fell victim to the subliminal mind control and sold my s2 in favour of an M35...

I even now find my fingers typing things like "I love my M35" and "drives like new"...

Watch out, they'll be after you next...

You'll start looking at your "old", "tired" (sorry its the mind control, make it stop!) stagea, thinking it might be time to upgrade, then you'll have thoughts jump into your head of newer technology, more power/torque, more comfortable seating, 5 speed auto, tiptronic (for the s1 guys), more backseat legroom, more boot space (incl storage under the boot floor), and all kinds of NEW stagea goodness...

When this starts to happen, its then only a matter of time...

(cue evil laughing) mwahahahaha :laugh:

Thats one of the better looking ones ive seen, black, deeeeep dish 19's and draggging its ass on the floor. Unfortunately that doesnt excuse the fact its far to slow or that theres no chance of owning one looking like that without getting a defect everyday you drive it! Maybe ill change it so it doesnt confuse any of you! :(

+1, except for the 260RS bit...!! who needs traction control and luxury, anyway? And I enjoy the rattles in my old beast: they give the car character! *shakes fist at m35 owners*

Oh, and Hi Les! Where in the UK are you from?? I lived over there for about 4.5 years: loved it!

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
