What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[scotty nm35]

haven't changed anything....And I don't get a constant figure either...jumps from as low as 11.x to 13.x as a rev higher

Below 2.5k rpm its like 15-6ish

WTF is happening...

You got a leak somewhere?

Installed the new boost gauge sensor last night - the factory gauge is back in action! It's a bit hard to read, but I'm not too fussed.

Well it can't be the exhaust since u checked it and reckon its fine...hmmm

Just installed the USA-spec pa15-nis. Very easy plug and play set up, only 3 plugs.

The sound is awesome as I expected. I can't recommend this enough to anyone (like me) that's wants to keep the factory single din stereo to keep it intergrated with the factory tv screen and wants to add in an iPod/iPhone to it. You can also add another audio device into the unit.

Music is all control either via the factory head unit or the iPod/iPhone itself and it charges them.

Only $160ish delivered via eBay out of the US.

Just took the car in for a wheel alignment, front bushes and ball joints are knackered.

I know SuperPro do the bushes, but anyone know where I can get the replacement ball joints?

Washed my filthy car today.

I've been looking at foam lances for a while now for my Karcher; prices ranged from $200 odd to just under $75 delivered (UK). These are pro quality items, and you can adjust how much foam you actually get.

Anyway, I saw this at Bunnings; http://www.karcher.com.au/aus/Products/Home__Garden/Accessories.htm?&sdp=ac&pid=26418480&accessoriesGroupName=Special+applications&pn=Foam+nozzle%2C+0.3+litre&title=Foam+nozzle%2C+0.3+litre&refP=%2Faus%2FProducts%2FHome__Garden%2FAccessories.htm%3F%26accGrNm%3D10011604__Special%2520applications

It has a 300mL cup and was only $15!

It works great! Took a little fine tuning to get the mix right; and you need to work fast in the foaming stage, (the cup empties fairly quickly) but now I'm foaming like a rabid monkey!

For anyone who's wondering; the foam softens the muck on the paint better than just hosing; allowing you to pressure wash off most of the stuff that scratches the paint when you manually wash.

The more you can get off without touching the paint; the less fine scratches you put on the car. On a black car it makes a big difference to how often you need to do paint correction.

New front upper control arms with nolathane rubbers (or SuperPro????) for my NM35 today at Wholesale Suspension, Penrith, NSW.

This was on top of replacing the lower ones abt 6 weeks ago (by Jetwreck). The knock in the suspension had gone away but came back

again after a while, particularly when under heavy braking.

[scotty nm35]

Do you have aftermarket swaybars? Coilovers?

Start a thread if you like, we may be able to suggest other things for you to look at.

Picked the car up from Pedders, rear is dumped, but only just level with the front. Weird... but can't go any lower on the rear. Haven't measured yet though.

Got my new blow off valve in the mail today, Turbosmart Nissan specific dual port. Nicely made unit. Fit it this afternoon, not too hard, just had a higher pick up for the hose. Set it up as plumb back, and set it as stiff as it went.

Gives a fair bit of flutter, but other than that is all good. Will back off the stiffness in the morning and see if that lessens the flutter. Main thing is it fixes the 'farting', guess I'll find out over the weekend, with a drive to McLaren Vale and back.

Picked up my car from All Type today. Largely happy with the job, would have liked them to touch up the car more, but I think I always knew that the job wouldn't be up to my standards..

Grille is painted and fitted. Wing will go on tomorrow when I get some adhesive rubber stuff for it.

[jasevr4]

Any tips on fitting my aero wing?

yep, that is indeed a good start. too small but at least it gives an idea of how they would look.

actually that looks like a well built car at a glance

Lol, I was only really referring to the exterior; rivetted on flares over the existing rear doors, etc.

Everything under the skin is beautifully fabricated. Definitely has attitude.

[Duncan]

ahh yeah, some practicality lost, but otherwise it's pretty good. I like a home built race car, they can have heaps of good ideas. Like the rear door on that one for instance
