Picked up boot lid yesterday from a mates place who gave it a quick lick of black. At this stage im not sure weahter to keep it black or wrap in in CF vinyl like last time. I think as this stage ill leave it black and get all the holes for spoiler drilled in and then decide what to do.

Also picked up a new catch can setup that arrived yesterday. Its a 2L tank, think it may be too big to fit in the bay with that sized breather on top

hey man love the build good to see you get it going again think ive read through your thread twice since ive been on SAU. go Purple. i have a thing for purple. but i think your purple in your bay will look better than mine :).

Thanks Mathew, at this stage the covers will go blue as my mate has some of it lying around. Definitely will go a deep purple in the future.

All build threads start somewhere. I've owned this car for over 6 years and i've really only started pushing the limits in the last 2. Your car is a great base to start with and looks tidy!

Quickly threw the bootlid on tonight to see what it looked like. Terrible phone quality.

There's a newish CF vinyl which you can find on ebay called 'Carbon Fiber 4D' and it looks fairly legit compared to the old textured CF vinyl. I bought a sample and was quite impressed.

I might have to have a look at this. See how it looks when the spoilers finished and on then take it from there

Played around with the car a little bit today. Ripped out all the air con gear along with some other unwanted engine bay items.

Ive also stated the long process of degreasing the engine bay. One thing i have noticed is this will take a long time!

Air Con out. Didnt have a large enough spanner to get this out so it was a good excuse to buy an over the top spanner collection. 8mm-32mm should do it.

No offence but i hope you got the air conditioning gas removed professionally or removed by your self the proper way and didnt just let it out into Atmos

When I was restoring my GTR I didn't do that and all dat gas blew up everywhere

Got a little fright but managed to clean up all that green hew crap after lol

Looking good Scottie

I don't mind the boot with no spoiler. Keen to see it when it's finished though. Rocker covers look mad.

I ran the no spoiler look for a long time till i got the drag wing. Once you see a 33 with the flush bootlid its hard to see it with only the stock one and still like it

Thanks Ants. coming along slowly. the tough side is still yet to come. There is a lot more shit on the other side of the engine bay to work around. Baby steps

yeah that takes a real long time.

Make sure you apply a sealant like some turtle wax after to keep that engine a bit cleaner longer

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
