Reading the reliability survey don in the USA I am not so sure you are right about this.

VW rated 56th out of 60... :whistling:

So as in 4th from the bottom?

which means Audi > VW yeah?

Not sure what your point is? LOL...

Just read the JD powers survey....Audi A4 seems to trump Passat and Golf GTI in overall reliability? :/

i paid under 40k for my Octavia, drive away.

the only difference - besides looks - in most of the lineups over all the brands, is the panels.

most chassis are the same, engines, wiring, even down to steering wheels etc. my car is covered with VW and AUDI stickers on parts.

you guys bag them out, but come and look at it, its better than you think!

brake lines finally fixed. With big 324mm rotors and dogbones, with bilsteins & camber arms, the line fouled on full lock against the swaybar. Used a 90deg fitting at the R32 caliper so its all perfect now. Brakes feel as meaty as ever!

Will fit new qfm pads & shim kit after midyear exams I guess, to do away with the front rhs squeal.

End of year will do a hiboost tune & see what the forged motor can do :P

Lol, My sis had a Skoda Superb (the next car up the range in size) when she was out here for holidays last year, and it was very nicely finished. Had the 2L TDi motor; for a big car, it was quick!:thumbsup:

yeah the supurb is nice, but out of my price range, and IMO a little expensive for a less-well known car

Who cares how well known it is? Most people don't know what a Stagea is!

How is the VW anyway?

finally did some work on the poor neglected stag today.

Switch for the boost controller

New aerials for the tv (works good)

Speedo corrector for the nifty nismo dash

Didn't work out why the reverse lights aren't working....next time.

I installed a wastegate actuator with an external spring, Twas a right pain as had to remove most of my intake to get the job done, but by all accounts it will help get the most out of the stock turbo so a worthwhile exercise.

Thanks Scotty, I'll have my old one back to you in the post on Monday.

No problem Leon, glad its you fitting it. lol. You got a decent boost gauge? My old one read 3 psi low. >_<

Remember to block the stock bleeder or re-tune your controller if you have one, then wind it up slowly, checking the afr's if you can.

I've got 2 boost gauges & they read differently too. I've just been out working through the process of adjusting boost & fuel mixtures.

I started by allowing the wastegate to see all the boost & then slowly reduced the solenoid duty cycle (cuts off air going to the actuator) to add more boost. Got a bit greedy a few times & took too much out - hit boost cut :/

Had to add more fuel for the high boost map as well. It's not perfect yet, but felt it best not to tear up & down the nearby country lane all afternoon. The farmers don't mind me tuning now & then, but I've got to be considerate of their peace & quiet.

So far it's looking promising with more boost available where it was falling away before.

yep, the jaycar kit, works perfectly. Just tapped the speedo wire at the dash and hid the box up behind the hazard light switch. It's been in there a while bu I had to adjust it because I've changed rim/tyre size recently.

Nismo dash is the main reason I had to fix the speedo. A big digital speedo is just annoying when it's wrong!

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
