sad day at the stagea camp...

^^^ truth.

Hope it all works out for the best Rodney. Just wish Id known you and your car prior to this, never mind. What are your car plans after this is all sorted?

Yeah was found Tuesday

got a couple of ideas for the new rig,all I will say is that watever it is,it's gonna be rocking straight pipes again

I will be back in something equally as unique as my stagea (was)

Had mine written off

just cars must have rang Nissan or autech for a price on new 260rs sideskirts

ouch...

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

If you can buy the wreck at a good price (assuming most of the components are Ok) you could get yourself an RS4T and transfer all the good bits over.
I guess in a sick way, now it looks like your Avatar! ;)

At least you got it home I guess

lot more smoke than that LOL......yeh went a got the car trailer!

Cop's(hwy) turned up while I was loading it.

Stupid question from them too as I was winching the car into the trailer:

Cop "What are you doing?

Me "If I have to spell it out bud there's a problem"

Cop "I asked you a question!"

Me "winching my car into the trailer officer :) "

Cop "are you being a smart arse?"

Me "I tell you what bud.....why don't you tell me what you would like me to say!......I don't want to be Captain Obvious here but really....what the f#$K do you think I am doing?"

Cop "Is this you car?"

Me Just answered that! :( "You want to buy it?

Dad " Craig shut up and keep loading the car I'll talk to the officer"

Me "Good idea.....I'm not dealing with fools very good ATM!"

Cop "Excuse me!"

Me " Yup you are!"

5 minutes later

Dad "Alway's have to be a smart arse don't you"

keeps lube in glove box for next time plod sees car on road

ow unlucky, hopefully just a seal and you havent sent an exhaust wheelll through the works.

spent yesterday arvo, and all day today cleaning the InsIDE of my car. took off all the seals, cleaned and conditioned them, cleaned all the doors and door jams, sunroof seals etc, hit all the furry stuff with upholstery cleaner.....it was an epic battle. also relocated the gizmo EBC from out of the glove box where it was rattling around, to just under the headunit. need to hook up a kill switch in the event that i get pulled over, but looks trick.

next weekend it will be exterior, and weekend after that, engine bay and underbody - but i'm slowly getting there! it'll be mint once its done.

question, does anyone have trouble with the rear sunroof not sealing up? it looks like the rear edge of mine could go up another 2-3mm - and i reckon it's letting water in. it tends to fog after a wash with the high pressure hose? tried to manually wind it a bit further, but wouldnt budge.

smokey... ive had this drama with mine b4.. passenger side at the rear, or the rear sunroof??

a guy on here put a little plate in his to hold it up... as theres no adjustment for close height as far as im aware... if there is its maxxed out.

do a search and u will find what im talking bout :D

sounds pretty similar chef. mine is on the drivers rear, and it's not letting water into the car - but there is enough of a gap for me to tell that it would be sending water down the guttering rather than letting the seal do it's work.

i found this: http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/104404-leaky-body-sunroof-2.html

sounds like what you're talking about, did you do the same on yours??

got my alignment done

can someone have a squiz and tell me if the messed anything up?

i asked him to dial in as much caster as possible and he seemed confused and said "i don't think you will notice that on road tyres mate"

Thanks

Faark dude, even with my best squint I can't read that properly, hope someone's got better eyes than me. I'll have 6 beers and come back to it.

Around +5 deg 22" left, +4 deg 41" caster; -1 deg camber and +0.5mm toe was optimal on my old r31, and it needed camber/caster adjustable strut tops to get there; obviously there'll be some differences given the rear can also be aligned. How were they adjusting the caster? Are your caster rods adjustable?

On my NM35 they're not...

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
