lil progress

i got my car brought home yesterday so i could continue to do more work on the interior.

its a bit difficult getting from templestowe to clayton to do stuff on the car with no licence, so this weekend ill be ripping out the cage and the 2 brides. brides are going and ill be replacing them with sparco fixed backs or bride zeta 3, i have a set of sparco evo's at home but they are a lil snug for my manly/overweight frame. i want seats that are fia approved and also the cage is going coz im going the full cage, with carbon side intrusion bars :whistling:

the rb30 block is also at the machinists atm so it will be there for a lil while, whilst all this is happening ill be getting more body work done. when the cage is being done the engine bay, cabin and the boot will all be seam/stitch welded (possibly around the doors as well) and vu from dt panels will be fitting my new body kits whis will one day get here from the states.

it comprises of some seriously awesome shit haha

- carbon bonnet

- carbon boot

- carbon side skirts z tune style

- carbon rear pods z tune style

- carbon z tune front guards

- carbon front bumper

- carbon bolt on 60mm rear flares :teehee:

- carbon front splitter with 2 billet rods

- carbon front caards

- carbon radiator air guide

i think having the 2 tone effect of white to black is gonna be f**king awesome

im sending my headlights off to headlights plus to get polished.

ive also decided to keep the stereo in the car as well but ill move the amps to under rear seat passenger footwells seeing as u cant sit there anyway. also retrimming the rear seats in the same fabric as the drivers and passenger seats.

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
