put some of this in the box the other day

fair bit smoother now, even with the short shifter

(do not use for auto boxes)

also washed the rest of the car too

While I'm waiting for my R34 brakes to arrive for the Stagea, I decided to remove the passenger mirror and hunt for any rust coming thru. Found some just starting and decided to rub it all back and treat it so it won't spread.

Two more weeks until Time Attack ... so in two weeks I'll need to fit the R34 brakes, braided lines, bleed the brake system thru with fresh DOT4 fluid, oil change, filter change, O2 sensor change, and a dyno tune.

took me about 3 or 4 hours to slowly cruise through my r34 brake swap

pull the restrictor out of the 34 brakes and use your existing banjo bolt with both original copper washers without modification

the 3-4 hours also included going to get more brake fluid and bleeding everything twice and taking the master cyl out cos i got air in it

the thread on the stock rotors (to pop them off the hubs) is metric fine pitch, cant remember what size tho

they are also a site sponsor here, dont get the ar1m or you wil chew through rotors if your not getting them hot enough

ask them about the hpx's

and if you get them through sau they are cheaper

Removed my footbrake assembly and installed a proper handbrake

Lots of room for a third pedal on the left now...

Fitted a boost controller today, Blitz SBC R. I don't believe the difference it made to the low end response, it seems to be on boost all the time now.

I checked the wideband higher up in the revs and it is running very lean, with a lot more punch. I had to drop the boost back down to a reasonable level until I can get to the tuner.

[02stagea]

I reallyl ike that install Scott. Very neat.

[Stagea_Neo]

Picked these bad boys up today! There sooooo shiiiiiny

Except I cant put em on till Friday when i get the tank back

from the panel beater....sooo hanging out for it.

[scotty nm35]

I reallyl ike that install Scott. Very neat.

Thanks. Im just glad I don't have the screen and nav, theres nowhere else to put all this gear.

[Stagea_Neo]

That does look nice.

Are those three stainless push buttons (momentary?)

( Ejector seat, afterburners, rotating number plates )

I reallyl ike that install Scott. Very neat.

[scotty nm35]

Wideband reset, torque converter lockup and petrol primer for starting on ethanol. There's still heaps of room for the ejector button though.

Stainless buttons are from Jaycar, they come in momentary or latching and are led backlit. (blue green and red.)

You got that in in a hurry!

(all those wires along that side made it too difficult to mount the buttons?)

"it seems to be on boost all the time now." - Statement to make Jetwreck more envious by any chance?

[scotty nm35]

Turned up last night, had to get it in...

How did we go with the exhaust leak mate?

[Jetwreck]

very pretty Scotty....red is gay though!!!!!!could have at least put some pretty screws there.....should have done the carbon fibre look

only kidding bud....looks gay but good .....not that gay is a bad thing

Cam, might be envious of instant boost but at least I have some real boost all the time .......that's the only comeback I have!

[scotty nm35]

Stainless self tappers not your thing Craig? (the candy calliper paint was the only can in the cupboard.)

[bubba]

Smoked the drivers rear tyre! lol damn open centres

Exhaust manifold. Have yet to rip the heat shields off to have a look, certainly hope I have not sheared a bolt/stud... although that would be an easier fix than if the manifold is cracked.

Cam, might be envious of instant boost but at least I have some real boost all the time .......that's the only comeback I have!

"Real boost" all the time? Oh yeah?... well... erm... (stupid f*ck'n exhaust leak)

EDIT: Suppose I should actually contribute here.

Okay, well a couple of weeks ago I installed my lovely Nismo exhaust in leu of the Fujitsubo Legalis. Same design, different muffler lol

On Monday night I decided to change the aerodynamic abilities of the rear end of my car by installing a stealth black trailer
