*Black Stagea now becomes invisible* nice one Aaron.

lol you have no Idea. not one person looked at me driving to work today

congrats dude

now you can legally drive it :P

lol Thanks man!

I spent my first 2 of my 3 years without P's up :) the only time I actually put them up is when they changed the law to green p's.. (and sent me some free ones ;] )

never got asked once! ( I didn't have a Stag at this time though)

There is a good chance it is the rear of the passenger valve cover leaking, not the turbo. I guess you really want to remove it to check though, and highflow it while its out of course. :whistling:

LOL, shit so the engine needs to be out to fix that valve leak!?

can't afford highflow ATM...just bought the HDi IC, the exhaust, emanage, in a single week. Kinda feeling poor ATM.

And now I'm going to need new shocks. BC's are what? 1200? grrrrrrr

i reckon those shocks are the cause of that noise if its leaking. :)

U reckon?

The previous owner was adamant that it's the BOV. this is what he said:

"It definitely is the blow off valve because when i blocked it off, the farting was eliminated straight away.

Here's a video i took of the car and how it sounded with the blow off valve blocked off.

No farting what so ever:"

Engine shouldn't need to come out. If the turbo needs to come out, then it is probably easier to take out the engine, but also probably more time consuming.

If it is the valve cover, no way would you take the engine out to change the gasket.

Yeah, BC's are 1200-1300 plus shipping from JustJap... or there is a second-hand set of Nismo S-Tune floating around NSW :ph34r:

I cant view vids.

maybe it is a BOV or IC piping. maybe you'll fix it by changing to the HDI like scotty said!

Well now that my position at work has been made redundant (after 11 years service), I've got all the time in the world to work on the Stagea. I attacking all those 'little' things (knocks/rattles) that have been annoying me for a while. Getting an exhaust hanger rewelded today to give a bit more clearance to the tow bar; got new wheel studs to replace the dodgy/stripped ones I have; putting in my order today for larger injectors and a 3076. :D

This weekend I'm fitting a new timing belt and pulleys; along with relocating my oil temp, water temp, a/f, and boost gauges. Also shopping for new slotted rotors front and rear!

So much to do ... so much time to do it :P

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
