My Greddy catch can turned up today! :D

Going to be a big weekend for the Stag. Hopefully will fit the sway bars, adjustable rear toe arms, plenum spacer and catch can.

Wait and see when Brad is available to give me a hand fitting the new stereo, and hopefully HDTV tuner. Fingers crossed the stereo will work with the NTSC screen!

Once the catch can is in, have to organise the HDI intercooler finally. Held off until I had the catch can, because I didn't want to immediately fill it with poo!

I think you are doing it wrong? :ermm:

this one:

aux in for the TV, full ipod connectivity+ bluetooth handsfree, AAAAAAND the best part, can use factory steering wheel controls :)

Sounds good. I'm after cruise control, and Chris Rogers has his setup that uses the factory buttons, will be going with that. Looks awesome, and I want cruise control for trips.

yup!

only works with the factory 6 stacker, not the RS single DIN unit.

So this Clarion HU will work with the steering wheel remote?

Nice...

I'm looking at a couple of Alpine models...

That's if I ever get the single din conversion done...

yeah it will work with factory remotes

and guess what? it just arrived!! thats not bad, ordered around 10pm last night lol

ok it did only have to come from granville

check out www.soundmaster.com.au

the prices seemed pretty good and they had a decent range too

Been wanting the side mirrors (original option) with the LED indicators in them for a while now (from the Stagea Optional Parts Catalog):

Was toying with the idea of aftermarket LED ones (plenty of different types on Yahoo JP) but personally i think they all look crap. So i decided i would stick with my original idea of getting the original factory option ones, and i reckon in the last 6 months or so, i have nearly bought about five different sets (all different colour to my car though) but for some unknown reason kept refraining - probably 'cause i couldn't be stuffed trying to get them repainted pear white to match my car.

My reluctance to purchase previously has paid off, cause i just won a pair off Yahoo JP for 13,500Y - not bad i reckon (considering no repaint required)..

Looking forward to fitting these in a couple of weeks...

I've had a lot of people comment on mine, although the way they fit they almost look like they're a clip on cover over the mirror?

I thought they were a clip on....I'll have to check mine again

They are a cover over the mirror. Look bloody good.

So, they are just covers - more just popped up in Silver on Yahoo JP.

As you said they still look good! :thumbsup:

Another option is the Series 2 Factory option mirrors which do not appear to be clip on. Just checked the Options catalog for this model to be sure - and they are listed in there also - one piece with LED & colour coded triangle mounting plate....

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
