when you compare it to a skyline, its not gonna come off as well obviously

but comparing it to another wagon its very good,

look at ford wagons, basic interior, leaf springs

commodore's are the same

only thing that will come close is a subaru legacy gt wagon but they are a bix exxy and the twin turbo's don't work very well

like you said bubba, some day i will also own another car to throw about and go fast in, but for now, the stagea is doing a pretty good job

if you wanted to do burnouts, you should have bought a commodore :D

I have a 3L'd R32 GTSt for that.. why would I buy a commodore?? Stag in to RWD keeps me happy until the 32's engine is back together.

Anyway, I much prefer the sound of a hipo RB torching the tyres over the sound of a ecotec v6 or chev v8.

Oi bubba do you know if the factory rwd procedure you discribed is the same for s1?

No idea mate, don't see why not.. it works on 33 and 34 gtr's AFAIK.. give it a bash :P

Yeah pulling your shaft in public will usually get you arrested :P

HAHAHA, that was a great comeback.

also i think the r32 gtr driveline is different to the r33/34 one.

33 and 34 are both controlled similar, while with the r32 its just a unplug of the fuse which fully unloads everything in the atessa system, or so i have read on here somewhere.

not 100% sure, but read somewhere. hence why you can buy those little torque controllers on ebay so cheap for the r32's and stagea s1's. apparently the s1 had parts from 32 and 33 in it.

but dont quote me on it.

i remember reading it somewhere a while back when i first got my car.

oh and on my s2 stag the plug is green with one yellow striped wire coming out of it, right at the top of the kickpad, it even hangs out a bit.

    • Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.
    • So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?
    • This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...
    • There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
    • Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.
