So after bolting up 17x8 and 17x9 enkei's to the RS4S, I had to readjust the rear camber arms for less -camber to clear the shock. What I didn't notice was that it creates toe out like crazy. After driving for 10 mins the car is just too nervous even on flat road and head home.

I jacked the car back up, look around and notice that the rear HiCas arms are adjustable. Sweet. After eyeballing it with a spirit level flat across the rim to the body I have removed the toe out (which gave even more clearance to the shock) and the car tracks straight and handles great just like before.

Will be getting it properly aligned by Bob Jane @ Nerang again. Apparently their machine is the best in oz. (Their claim not mine).

Heres my last alignment by them late last year out of their dying printer

Jez

mounting my informeter today, also tried to install my tv tuner but hit a snag, misplaced my adaptor cable and still a little fuzzy on how there installed hahaha,

also put stock airbox on today.

Late last week, finally installed my new turbo. Had it finished by the Saturday and driving to the SMASA show on the Sunday. :thumbsup:

Took a dead RB25 turbo and MTQ built me a Garrett 3076 ... got braided lines and all. I'm just babying it around until I get her tuned. Got 575cc injectors coming. Then the injectors and the brand new Z32 AFM I have in my garage will go on just before I drive the Stag to Willall for the tune.

:D

Lately??.....Scotty made my new dump last week which meant that last Thursday was the day for fitting it along with the full Freeway-Dolphin exhaust. Huge thanks to Scott for all his efforts. :worship: Very noticeable difference in power. Quite loud and when compared to the Legalis. A bit of getting used to (noise) but happy all round. Whilst at Scott's booked another trip to Japan......More Stagea lovin' coming up...

the rb26 was pulled out of the wagon yesterday and the car was trucked off to the paint shop today to have engine bay, brake calipers and engine covers painted the ball is finally rolling

I did a bit of panel beating, removed two cylinders, re connected my abs plug to make it 4wd put on a better turbo, some recaros added a few more mods and this is what happened to my stagea.

Things looking better for you Andrew.. :)

How are you going with my stock dump pipe? You can show me the new car when you droop it around?

The way things are going with that i'm not happy! my mates dicked me around for months with it, i've bought all the bits and pieces to do it but still no luck with him..

the evos still not registered yet, but no doubt when my mate pulls his fingers out it will be.. lemme know if you need it back in the mean while and i'll pop over..

Very nice dude!

I'm booked in for a new, bigger radiator in the morning.. not quite as exciting as your adventures :P

Good pickup! My new rotors and brake pads should be arriving this week. Shame my mechanic is in Thailand at the moment :rolleyes:

What have I been doing lately? Except the screaming that I want my stag on the road again...

Blow parts of the engine in august, in a period without the cash to rebuild it again at the moment. But it was a nice blow - like the formula1 breakdowns with 300meters of smoke. ;-)

We have only got -15degrees C at the moment and I've got a garage without heating, so I do the work at the livingroom. ;-)

I hope to have a drivable car at the end of Mars - and I hope the rods hold out for one season at their absolute limit. I'll guess the gearbox will blow really soon. :-)

There is some things happening in Sweden. ;-)

Installed Trust/Greddy suction kit.

Bitch of a job, HKS intercooler piping and stagea engine bay add up to make quite a tight fit.

Will be starting on a polycarbonate box for the pods tomorrow.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
