W00t!!!

 

Mumma (read Katrina aka Missus) just said she wants a Stagea!!!

 

Decisions, decisions...  

 

Keep the sedan, sell the Corolla, get a 32GTR...

Oh the pain!!  Why can't I have all 3 :D

Obviously you have ruled out the corolla, so sell it, you NEED a 32 GTR, that just leaves the choice of practical car you need. Sedan or Stagea???? A pretty nice choice to have. I have a similar choice but I am keeping the mini now, I think, as its over 30yrs old, through the mini club I can get special interest registration and also cheaper insurance. It costs next to nothing to keep and I reckon overall I will be saving money using the mini to run around in, so cheap on fuel and will help keep the km's down down on the other cars, especially the R.

definitely.. my budget would be around $10-$15k on an engine rebuild and hopefully a full respray (stripping the car to bare shell myself to save labour costs).. That would be a "given".

But if it takes 3-4 months sitting in my garage while I stuff with it, thats fine too :D You're not paying for things when you're not driving it.

Just make sure it doesn't sit for too long. I thought the same thing with the mini, I couldn't afford to register 2 cars at the time so de-registered it and garaged it for 4 yrs. It cost me $2k just in parts to get it back to roadworthy. Must keep all rubber from drying out and cracking. Anything with fluid in it will probably be shagged ie, entire cooling system, brakes etc. Things like water pumps don't like to be idle for too long. The list goes on. The mini was only garaged 2 yrs after a complete ground up rebuild so was basically new and all this still happened to it, certainly wasn't a typical 15yr+ car with 100000km on it. Just make sure you make the build quick otherwise it will end up costing you heaps more.

jlnewton: thanks for the advice. Its not a definite, but its something I'm considering. I probably have about 2 months to decide I guess. If i did go that route, wouldn't want it sitting for too long. I'd also have to blow the existing RB26 up first :D

Street Machines.. yet to go in there, but wouln't mind looking. Heard about it, but until I drove past the other day didn't quite know where it was.. its not far away from my place actually.

most of there cars are really nice but very pricey when i went looking for my line i went there and found out that they are to expensive there is another place near street machines called AJM motorsports or i think thats what they are called they are near the Gabba try them out to.

Man my airconditioning vent is bugging me, i just dont get it.. i pulled the center vent out..

and basically if i have air turned on so it shoots at the feet - its fine

if i have the air shooting at the face and feet - its fine

however if i have the air shooting just at the face it makes a clicking noise?

whats the deal there?

anyone have this prob its got me stumped

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
