I try and stay away from all this shit which I guess mostly happens after the sun sets, by which time I'm in LaLa land.

But, now and again you get in that lane that cuts off about 100 meters down the road. So its a bit of squirtsville.

One time I did this to a, fark , Rodeo turbo diesel. He was so annoyed at the first op he screamed past me.

Silly bugger, as all hoons are.

Not their upbringing, their appendage. :D

haha,nice one hugh.wish more people could just do what i do

just accept the fact that their penis is rather average in size,and if your compesating with a car your just lying to yourself

ive been awake awhile,sweetdreams lads

last night some guys in a silver skyline tried to get me to race, pull up right next to me whilst cruising at 80 on nepean then rev the engine. hahahaha i looked at them like... "u are a douche" and they took off at 100+.. ppl like that give the "real" skyline owners a bad name

i know why holden drivers drive fast cos occasionsally i have to drive my stepdad's vs wagon

its such a bland and boring car to drive and the way the whole car feels makes me angry, so angry that i take off quickly from lights, weave through traffic and generally display bad driving so i can get home quicker and get out of it!

in other news, i love the effect it has on other drivers when they try and overtake you etc.......

and i love the wet, angry s13 pulled up next to me when it was raining the other day, he was still struggling to get a grip in 3rd lol and he had fat tyres too

yup, i remember back when i had a s13 silvia turbo. that thing was dangerous in the wet - as soon as boost kicked in, the back would sometimes step out a bit and you had to do a little dance on and off the throttle to regain control. All in all it was a fun car and quite fast in the dry, but these days I wouldn't give up AWD for anything. That and the stagea is just such a better car to drive, despite being heavier and slower.

Yep, wide tyres can actually be a detriment in the wet - because there's so much more contact surface, there's also more water to get rid of between the tyre and the road so it can make proper contact...

its quite good on the way down south in nz there is big long passing lanes that are quite steep straigh up hills and like 5 k long . and the honda boys thinks theyre fast till the stag blows past them 5 up .

Had some cock yesterday actually wanting to drag me off. I'm LH lane and he's RH lane at a set of lights going into an 80kph zone. All the occupants in the car (teenagers) are both fascinated with the Stagea and also giving the 'challenging' look. Lights haven't even changed green and their creeping their shitbox Commonwhore more and more over the white line. Lights go green and they driver nails the throttle and the car takes off, whilst I cruise to the speed limit. I'm aware the road is heavily policed, and sure enough a hidden motorcycle cop pulls out and gives chase to the Commonwhore and pulls them over.

I love that feeling when you make the decision. No. I will not stoop to that level and immediately they get busted. Just makes you think that decision just saved SOOOO much headache, my license and possibly a lot of work getting the car roadworthy, and in several peoples cases a license is also a job. So potential house repayments as well.

ok so mine is not a stag - but had a couple of guys in an xr8 ute ask for a drag down here in vic (near narre warren) - i told them "nah man...its cool" - funny enough they were polite and said "thats cool bro"

but yeah....usually if people want to drag me, i just let them go. Not going to risk 1) my life 2) other peoples lives (in my car or around my car) 3) my car 4) my licence - just not worth it

I mostly get wagon-envy, and mostly from mums. Although lowered with rims, exhaust, fmic, every piece of rice wants to race me.

Also seem to get a lot of "do a burnout!".. maybe it's the beard :rant:

Edited by bubba

yeah i got that do a burn out by a bunch of dickheads hanging around a couple of rear dumps holdens with stockies...

leaving the pool hall they all want me to do it, pull up next to them put the window down, 'dude its AWD' there face's looked like i just told them there adopted. really upsetting i could tell LOL

I only ever run Legnums (there's a couple of smug bastards around in leggys)

And this one time I felt the need to punish this bogan a CA powered pulsar o.O

It is fun to get in the faces of the holden and ford tossers but not worth the time

I've had a few like that - they even comment when it's plainly obvious I have my 18-month old daughter in the back!

Go figure...

Try driving a bright-red DR30 with 16" Wats and a single-muffler (but legal) exhaust. You can't not draw attention to yourself.

If it's not the FJ turbo whistle, it's the BOV!

:rofl:

Funny thing is that I've never been pulled over in it, nor been given any grief while at an RBT or the like.

  • 3 weeks later...

I guess im kinda a hoon then, i mean i know my stag isnt the be all and end all. But i like to make people go WTH was that.

The other month some noob P plater in his bombodore was lurching and goading me at the typical 40-60kmh in light urban area near redbank plains. I slyly tipped it into tiptronic and dropped a gear into 2nd. Next roundabout I trumped it down at the apex to give myself a grin. Unbeknown to me was that my car would spin on all fours then grip like a a deamon leaving four black marks in a signature of where i had been. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that the Tein Supersports make all the difference in cornering.

So far i have found my turbo lag lets me down in getting off the line, but hey i couldnt find a manual at the time!

On the broad scheme of things i dont race the Stag, its not what i got it for. Besides when you have done 300KMh already on a bike, speeding in a car is kinda slow.

<3 the Stag

I've often thought the same thing, the slowest sportsbike I've owned, will spank the arse of virtually any car I've seen. Once you've ridden a seriously quick bike, spending money making cars quick seems fairly pointless; mind you, I'm still spending...

Another thing, once I'd spent a bit of time doing track days, I had no desire to speed or drag on the street. Which flies in the face of everything our governments try to tell people.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
