yeh the s14.. im pretty happy man.

im gonna be jumping in a car that has had approx $70k of work done to it, and has receipts to prove..

completely rebuilt from the chassy up and engine rebuild and forged, less than 25,000 ago

So today we threw 4 blokes into the M35 and drove to Melbourne. Awesome with the TV screens, watching movies on the way over. Cracker! :thumbsup:

Just a shame our caravan park backs onto the Western Highway :(

Big Fella should be here later tonight, then tomorrow it's off to Calder for Gymkhana! Oh yeah!

First road trip I've done in the Stag since I brought it back from Sydney, and so far it's too easy. Just wish I had fixed the undertray before I came over. I race taped it and thought it'd be right, but the tape fell off. Very annoying.

yeah was thinking of doing a road trip too pity it was a 9hr drive LOL...........would've been nice if Ken Block came to Sydney also!!!!

Was definitely a down grade, but I think I want a car I can enjoy for a little while. When the time comes I'll be jumping back into a stag

When is the changeover actually happening? Or, has it already?

Coming down for a peek when you have it!!

How much power she putting out? If the previous owner spent a boatload of $$$ on building the engine then I'm guessing 300rwkw+?

its flow tested for over 350kw.. its running 225 at the moment on a fairly reserved tune. might get cihan or trent to have a quick look over it though..

How did you score that?

It was the demo car at musle car and I had to get it back to Nissan.....had ne etag so I took the long route.

Nearly went past isms house but I was a little tired after having a late night on sat after dad hit a wall in the r32. :(

So there has been a slight knock over large bumps from the front of my car that wasn't happening a couple of weeks ago..... so I put it on a hoist to check it today and found this....................see something missing on the rhs? I guess when they changed the struts over for compliance someone didn't eat there wheeties prior to tightening it :domokun:

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
