Gave the stagea some love

Gw m5000 sougi, new filter, flush the attessa and transfer case and new detron 3 for it

Those drain plugs are in there tight as!

O,h and also installed my cruise control :blink:, bit of an effort but should be worth it

Bought my Stagea a new windscreen...

And I haven't even driven it yet. (still at compliance FFS)

:(:blink:

how did you go with the windscreen? who did you end up going with? and happy with job?

OK so the nismo ecu will take some getting used to. its got a HELL of a lot more bottom end to mid range power. its been pouring with rain and i had the mrs in the car so i couldnt test full throttle :blink:

tomorrow ill take her for a drive after i reset it.

might even put in the instrument cluster!

nice andy and Iain! - take em to the track !

rips the actuator hose off .. lets see what 25psi does! :D

btw .. hit my first gutter in the nismo's the other night.. nearly had a heart attack..only put a small cut in the lip of the tyre and a tiny bit of lip rash on the rim..more scared of hitting curbs than i am of blowing a turbo! :)

Edited by PetroDola

yeah done the gutter thing before, sucks doesnt it?

to the track? hahah not yet! need to get the transmission looked at. i think with this additional torque, the gearbox wont like it :D

did the ecu idle learn. perfect. 650rpm down from 1000-1100 odd :)

Hanso - i'll be doing the same in preparation for the 28th and leaving the stag in the carport

just won a boot mat for the M35 for 67$ plus shipping.. be like $150.. theres 3 left for 80$ on importmonster with 20mins to go.

get in der if your chasing one!

I finally got around to washing & polishing my Stagea for tomorrow's SAU QLD Charity Cruise. I hate parking under trees at work, FTL.

Likewise. Got out the cut and polish after the wash indicated how poorly other people park/open doors :ermm: bastards.

bought a ring for my soon to be financee
Return it while you still can... :ermm:

Or make sure she gives you an equivalent amount of money to spend on yourself or mods for the car!

Packed the stagea up to the gunnels, just about to get on the boat for the mainland :banana:

then 2-3 days of driving and will be back in qld at last

also washed it b4 the trip

fitted up my 3 inch cat back this week. RBD2's old front section and a fujitsubo rear cannon.

flows so much better, just need to adjust the position at the rear.

    • 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.
