Hey all,

Dont really come onto SAU very much but thought i would share with you what we have built in the last couple months.

Its the same silvia shell its always been but completly re-done.

Savanna motorsport along with ORIGIN Australia have come on board for 2010 and the car now has, Full ORIGIN urban kit, 50mmm wide fenders all round, ORIGIN carbon fibre bonnet.

HELPS METALWORKS has gone all out on the Fab work on this car. Craig spent countless hours making the whole front of the car rock solid. It has roll cage tubing throughout the whole front end and all metal not needed has gone. Craig did some front tubs as i was going to be getting some crazy new wheels soon. He also made a custom HELPS exhaust manifold which has changed the note of the car heaps as you will hear in the video below.

ElectricScan Automotive rewired the whole engine bay along with the custom external coil pack setup. All the factory wires have been removed and only the microtech loom is in place.

Luke Bing designed the graphics and what a great job hes done at that. Myself and my mate KC painted the car a custom silver and it turned out great, exactly how i wanted it.

And the best part of the new car is the heart :) AUTOSOLUTIONS & RESTORATIONS along with Lewis engines have built a crazy new RB25/26 motor combo. With Andy coming on board to help for the 2010 year i couldnt wait to get the car in his hands. Andy has built many drift cars before including the CTS car and the WheelWorx S15. So i knew it was in the right hands :) The new motor was put together with the best parts i could afford. It has NITTO oil pump, Forged rods and pistons along with a brand new R33 GTR crank all chucked into an RB25 block. Lewis engines checked over the head and did the ACL bearings throughout the motor. Im still running the TD-06 25G with a custom HELPS exhaust manifold. The car runs 20psi and the true power figure is unknown as it just wheel spins like crazy on the dyno.

Like the Silvia bonnet with the 180 front bar custom lights etc it looks really good.

It's something I thought about doing with mine too.

Really like craigs work too! Seeing more of it everyday.

    • 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.
