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.

Received manual centre console, boot and handbrake setup from Japan this arvo. Paid waay too much for this. Have to get the important bits still though, lol.

Now the fun begins.

Just finished polishing the Stagea up for the SAU QLD Show & Shine tomorrow. Interior can get done in the morning, time for a beer.

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!

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.

it's been reported,I have a description of the person seen lurking before it went missing

plus buddy,if you read this

your on camera!! And I've got footage

[Hanso]

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.

That's terrible news: here's hoping they get caught....

[pipster11]

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

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

gulf western sougi s6000 all the way

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!

[BoostedBarge]

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)

[d1_drifter]

That's some shit news, Rod

Hope the thief gets what he deserves...

[SMOKEYV35]

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?
