poohkies Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 wait till you decide to take the starter motor out.......if it's anything like the BNR32 its a BITTTTCCCCCHHH! surprising, when removing my gearbox i didn't have any problems with it, my mates r33 doesn't have one of the bolt in cause he had problems, I managed to get it off and on with no problems maybe 5 - 10 mins each way flathead screwdriver smashed through the filter with a hammer. WIN there is seriously not enough room to even try that, I had a cut down screw driver i Just couldnt get in this is all you should need 1x 10mm socket 1x extension 1x rachet 1x oil filter socket I should have put one of the K and N filters with the nut on the end! Also couldn't do my diff oil, seems at night I didn't check which out of the 3 containers all 2.5 litres i picked up, I put the diff oil in the gearbox! hence why it was so smooth, gears change are beautiful, and car took a complete flogging from the weekend when I competed in the 2013 REJEX Rally which was great, down side is I need 4 new tyres Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/348629-what-have-you-done-to-your-stagea-lately/page/334/#findComment-6957852 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane344 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 What about plasti-dip? Finally finished off my trip strips And fixed my boost gauge with teflon tape (no pics tho) Might also fix the split cv boots soon, and give it a service with synx-6000 Did the same thing to my body mould chrome strips a couple of months back, my car is white with black rims also. The faux chrome in my body moulds has been patchy and rough since I bought the car. I bodge jobbed the black out though, I have used insulation tape trimmed to fit as I wasnt sure if I would like it and wanted an easy undo. Once the first bit of tape peels back at an edge I'll look into this plasti dip bandwagon. Just resprayed my grille black again this week as stone chips were making the chrome poke back out... Only chrome left now is the tail light in-fills but I think they can stay. Ill get some photos when I get it out tomorrow.

GH05T Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Well im now the proud owner of an RS4 factory manual and very happy. time to start the big clean up before i get down to making it how i like it. better look after is as it has a confirmed 74000km on the clock and almost no mods appart from a dump back exhaust and cheap mags. front needs some love, fading lights with condensation annoys the absolute hell out of me, almost as much as having a dirty windscreen. got the elbow grease out and threw in some 6000k philips xennons. gonna start replacing everything with LEDs as per usual. love the led look. still undecided as for what to do with the yellow foggies.....more pondering needed. so much better looking when they're actually clear. the wheels will go but the height is the propper issue. needs coilovers stat the 34 is getting jealous the interior needs a damn good clean, got a good upholstery cleaner and tackeled the passenger seat, it is a real shame that people dont keep ontop of this shit. oh well. more elbow grease has been employed. shitty cleaner comparing the clean passenger to the shitty drivers! random as f**k sticker i think cars drive better when they're clean? ok that was my weekend, gotta do soo much more. thanks for listening 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/348629-what-have-you-done-to-your-stagea-lately/page/334/#findComment-6965581 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hertz Donut Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I finally figured out how to remove the cargo blind. Ph34r my detective skills.

Dobo Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) I started installing my front mount yesterday. didnt have to cut the reo to much so im happy about that. its an r33 turn flow and nearly bolted straight up so was pretty easy first spin i took it for i forgot to tighten one of the pipes so car kept stalling and limped it back home, works all good now just have to cut the front bar and splash trays to fit. also looks like it has hit a tow ball or something.

SMOKEYV35 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hire a steam cleaner from woolworths. Have done this every time I have bought a new (used) car.

C34S2STAG Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Fitted a jjr front mount kit to the c34. Ended up cutting the end of tr rails rather then then reo. Really didn't want to do it but hey... Also had to remove the ac can as its massive! If I have problems I will get a slim fan to replace it. Then fitted a stainless jj bell mouth dump pipe along with a high flow cat. Much less drone with the cat (gutted one before) Next up is a muffler and 3inch for the test of the system to some twin pipes. Then nistune! Agreed on woolworths cleaners. Did the same for my stag and the wife's 100. You also find many things under the carpet like $20 and a bottle of vodka haha Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/348629-what-have-you-done-to-your-stagea-lately/page/334/#findComment-6967184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
