Not having a stab or anything, but you from word go was planning on running this thing sub 10 seconds, so why didn't u build it to andra spec to start with? Wouldn't that have been easier then all this down the track modifying?

Yeah it's a bit of a kick in the pants, but its a plus in a way, we get to fix up a few things in the engine bay we had drama's with and add some more go fast bits to test out every 0.1sec counts now lol.

Any manual gearbox car quicker than 11sec must have a full 360 degree 6mm steel scatter shield around the bell housing to cover your clutch and flywheel. Pain in the arse for a GTR as there is very little room and gets in the f**king way of everything, ANDRA's rules are getting more ridiculous every year.

Couldn't agree with u any more duncan, my mate told me a horry story or his mates xygt where the flywheel sheered thru the dash...missed his legs by only a few inches! With the weight and centrifugal force with teeth, its a deadly weapon

But still a nightmare to get one to fit in there, i say kudos to you for trying, i woulda looked at it and sent it to someone else lol. You are flat out squeezing a fart in there, let alone a scatter shield :( On a brighter note, fantastic build, and even better results, this thing looks tops and goes like a scalded cat to boot!

Update time:

Nothing much has changed over the last few months, only waiting on the strain gauge to come. Engine is back in the car and the bell-housing guard is complete and installed. A few minor mods have been done in the engine bay nothing drastic. When the strain gauge rocks up the car will be straight on the trailer heading to Brisbane for a tune up and a healthy dose of more HP, We have also been developing a system for the H Pattern Dogbox to give us quicker shift times, will not be releasing any details yet until it is tried and tested and hopefully does what it is suppose to do. Mark has also got some trick electronic gizmo's to put in as well which will get the MPH up but again secret squirrel business can't release any details. So next time we hit the black-top times will fall fast hopefully.

    • 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.
