good to hear that it was a simple fix, but you need to be a little careful with just putting it straight to the chassis. Does the fuel pump still turn off after a few seconds when you turn the ignition on (but do not start the car?)

In a lot of these systems the ECU uses the earth to turn off the fuel pump when the ignition is on but the car does not start.

If your fuel pump does not turn off (may be hard to hear), you need to add a relay where pin 85 goes to the original ECU earth to the fuel pump (12v can come from any ignition switched source to pin 86). Then connect the old fuel pump earth to pin 30 and pin 87 then to the chassis earth.

Yeah made sure it turned off! It's all good, love an easy fix!

Bought R33 brake calipers, an new K&N pod and heat shield, autometer carbon oil pressure and boost vacuum gauges, clean the AFM wire thingy ( yes i know, a very technical term) and fired a set of Pirellis after only 4k of driving. I love my new Stagea.........

Fitted a set of XYZ coilovers and adjusted the height to something a little more front bar friendly and dropped to car off at the panel beaters to have the dolphin bar replaced with an Autech one.

So... The Stagea got picked up by my mech yesterday, still running on 5 cylinders (not surprising, since I've barely looked at it in the las couple of weeks), and in it went for the new BOV and ignition coil loom.

Got a call from the mech when he was taking the car back to mine, letting me know it was still running rough, but he was going to give it a good run back to my place to see if that could defoul the plugs (They are only about 25km old). Turns out the Highway was bumper-to-bumper, so I got another call after he'd dropped the car off letting me know it was running worse...

Apparently he was going to scoot over to my place today to put a fresh set of plugs in it, but either way I'll take it for a drive in the morning and see what happens. It's booked in for tuning on Wednesday, and I am non-negotiable about having it runnnning cleanly before then.

14 months and counting now...

Not sure if the C34 guys know about these, but at such a cheap price; what could possibly go wrong?

Just took mine for a small 200-odd km road trip, loaded up with about 200kg of tools and my father-in-law (nuthin' suss...). I'd forgotten how much grip this thing has, I smoked the gorge about half-way through the trip, much to the chagrin of the a-hole who'd spent the better part of 40km wedged up my exhaust pipe.

There may also have been a minor drift around a downhill, off-camber 55km/h corner.

Father-in-law now wants an M35, although he did ask me if I'd noticed how much the rear end looks like a Volvo...

Looks interesting, I wonder how much of an improvement they make? So the stock joint bolt up to these, bit like a spacer?

I've used roll centre adjusters before, they make quite a difference on lowered cars; correcting geometry of the lower control arm.

Those are seriously cheap.

Are you still using the same Sydney workshop that you were using ages ago, Micah - the one on the Northern Beaches? From your continued experiences, it might be time to make a change...

No. As most of us know, he shut up shop and scooted: still owed me $1000 at the time.

I've been using a Gold Coast based workshop for the last few years, but I guess I'm on the hunt for a better one...

Just confirmed I got Wednesday off work, so I can be at the dyno to investigate any issues that make themselcves known this time. My fingers are crossed this time - without jinxing it, theres very little left that can fail now: I've replaced almost everything! Lol!

      Hahahahah, look, your not wrong 😂😂 and thank you brother 🙏🏼 jokes aside, I haven't driven the car in 6+ years and it's like I'm starting all over again, and furthermore the car is wayyyy more powerful and it's characteristics are night and day different now compared to what I remember. So I'm slowly easing myself back into the groove, the car is literally scaring me a bit tbh.....it feels like it has 200hp more than it does on paper and responds like a cammed Ls v8, and-some! 😅 every single bit of throttle pedal travel and input has instant response all the way to the floor, zero flat spots or labouring feelings, it's nuts. Im shooketh, go easy on me hahahaha or don't 🤙🏼😊

      If the house has ever been sold before too, they have photos from that etc.

      I used to do that, but then I got savvy. The benefits of having your phone photos geotagged outweigh the negatives. I just don't publish any photo straight off the phone/out of the gallery/off google photos, etc. If I'm going to use a photo, other than for SMSing to fam, I will always open it on the computer, copy it/otherwise edit it and save down without the original metadata, before using it. For example, posting photos of my engine bay into a thread on here, to show someone a plug or something - I will just screen-cap the section I want to use and paste that section direct from the clipboard into the post. No metadata goes along with.

      Yes, so it won't work for places with no photos on the net. I would have said that there are no photos of the inside of my house on the net, but....then I realised that my kids' parties would have had bazzillions of photos of the living spaces, kitchen etc put on insta and other shitmedia. So... you can see how insidious it is.
