we havent tried to pack too much in it yet but my husband is 6'5" and he can lie in the back with the door shut - straight down one side, not diagonally from corner to corner :P I think all we had to do was flit the back rest of the front seat forward but didn't have to move the seat

We're moving to SA soon and whatever doesn't fit in the truck we'll have to take back with us but atleast now we have an idea of just what you can fit in there

the excel is an all out track car,definatly got some JDM flavour with its matte black hubcaps but only on one side of the car as i ran out of matte black before i could paint the other side

holy shit the thing is mental in the wet...

i try get a pic for you chris,if your that keen buddy!

You should take him for a drive let him experience the absolute power and superior handling that is an excel...

3 year old....and A king size bed (dis-assembled) and mattress! It was raining, I didn't have roof racks and I thought what the hell, let's try it. I folded down the back seat next to the childs seat with my Son in it and the mattress went kinda curved over his head while he was sitting in it. He loved it - made for a sort of tent in the car experience for him :)

The stockmen at the shop were scratching their heads as to how all that went INSIDE the car.

is simply a capaciously awesome car for me

I've taken loads of firewood logs and mulch (bagged and loose on tarp), 50" plasma screen (standing up cross ways on back seat with squab up) fridges washing machines etc etc

and I have camped in the back on numerous occasions

^^ let mum and dad borrow it for the hall cupboard after they bought it thinking they could save $50 delivery - umm its a stag, cos them $40 to replace the fuel they used :)

LOL!!!

I've carried a shitload of full (I think roughly 65litre) containers of bits and pieces when the business my sister was working for was moving from a factory unit to the boss's house. I think I had about 5 of them, plus about 6 smaller ones on top and in between, plus a whole lot of loose stuff in between those too.

When we do SAU-NSW events, because I handle all the merchandise (shirts, caps, etc.), I regularly carry two 38litre boxes across the back behind the (unfolded) seats, and three 55litre boxes across the length of the boot behind the strut towers, and can still pull the luggage cover over the top so nothing shows from outside. I'll have to take a shot next time I do it...

When we moved carried a heap in the car, TV's etc. Also had 10 x 20ltr drums of parts washer solvent in the back, was a bit slower with that in it.

Not so much of a big load but took the car up to watch a private drift day yesterday, parked up near the fence, cable tied a tarp from the roof rack to the fence to sit under, had the esky in between our chair's and a little camping BBQ to. Best way to sit and watch drifting ever.

4 mates, and a 50 something inch plasma tv

How'd you get the Plasma in?

You ain't spose to lay them down :S Our 50'' in the box wouldn't fit in the back standing up.

Edited by LordMidol

I dont know how we managed to get it in with the back seats up lol, I think we kinda had it on its back pushed against the tailgate and pointing up over the rear seats. I doubt it was comfortable sitting in the back lol, with the combination of my seat being all the way back and the tv really close to peoples heads. Lucky it was a short trip

We couldn't even get it in the back of the car :) Though we also had a van we could use so we didn't try very hard (okay, tbh, we backed up, looked at the box and said cbf, will get the van). Could have just tilted it over I spose but I'm paranoid with plasma TVs.

I have laid across the back seat when moving a boxed 46 inch LCD tv.

oh and my mate had to sit with a fluffy pink subwoofer on his knees, cause it wouldnt fit anywhere else.

TBH I am a bit disapointed in the stag.

3 of us went down south , Lotty and I shared a bag, we had an air matress , small tent, esky, small webber , a guitar , my mates bag , dooner . pillows and it was packed to the rafters :P

all the gear I take to a race meet :( along with a 2t trailer :)

but the ute still wins....I brought an entire ikea kitchen home in that....its was so top heavy I literally though it would roll in the corners

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
