CHanged oil to Nulon 10-40 fully synthetic, seems to be revving much more freely.

Don't leave that in for too long Dave being that it is mineral based - regardless of what they say on the bottle/website.

It was crap in my wife's Magna after 6,000kms (engine became noticeably rattlier the longer it was in there) and only 3.8L came out (5L went in) when it was dumped after 8,000kms.

It will probably be okay for 5,000kms, but don't push it further than that.

Modded the wiring for my uprated fuel pump. Ended up taking out the rear seat base, drivers seat and all the boot trim because I wanted to run the new wire in the same place as all the original wiring. Took me a long time, but worth it to do the job properly. Now I have full voltage at my pump instead of only 11.8V.

Also fitted GTR triple gauge unit and moved my wideband gauge, but that's another story..

Today... I bought it!!

Hi All,

Been reading these forums for a while now whilst I've been looking for a Stag. Now I finally have something to post.

Managed to be the winning bidder on this baby overnight last night. '98 S2 Dayz, Twin Roofs, Tripto-Auto, Heated Leather Seats! :thumbsup:

If all goes well I'll hopefully have the car by end of October. At that point I'll no doubt be scouring these forums for as much info as I can muster. I can't wait to rip off that ugly-as steering wheel cover and give the mats a clean.

Sounds like this tool needs some contact counseling to let them know the error of their ways in taking cars that don't belong to them. Good luck getting your Stagea back, hopefully in one piece & not f**kedup.

5k service + fuel filter (which I i'm pretty sure has been there since factory :ermm: )

Filter was a bitch!

CHanged oil to Nulon 10-40 fully synthetic, seems to be revving much more freely. IT's having a lot of trouble holding traction, mind you it is damp. I'll have to wait until it's dry for a proper test.

Rear upper camber arms have arrived also, will put them in soon.

uh oh

^^^ x2, i ran nulon in my r32 but didn't put enough k's on it to notice, then ran it in my stag and once it cracked about 5000 kms it started to get loud

RBD2, that's rotten, hope it turns up unmolested.

Finally fitted my trans cooler and some new smd parker globes, nice white light, not blue like my last pov set. Jeez I hate getting those globes out, even with the bar off and the lights halfway out it's a pain!

Man that sucks. Nothing worse than car thieves/vandals. Just not cool to mess with someone's pride and joy.

Yesterday I fitted a wideband AFR meter to my 260RS. Can't wait to have a play with the Vipec features (mixture map, wideband closed-loop)

that is a sickening feeling, rod.

i hope that it turns out for the best.

i'd also be having a think back on who has come to see the car, i know you had it for sale - this is the reason that when i'm selling a car i always meet the person at a public location like a petrol station or a car wash, some of these 'prospective buyers' aren't looking to purchase your car, they're just scoping out how secure the vehicle is, finding out what hours you work, and who is at home at what times etc....it sucks but it's true.

How did you connect the triple cluster?do they have any connection that fit straight up?

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
