I guess I'm not just talking about money more like performance gains for $ and hours spent:) can't even see the turbo let alone get to it :( don't get me wrong i have no doubt that ill end up going full house on it ( normally cant help my self) but I'd have to have a goal I'm mind over 300.( just having a whinge:) b4 i guess) but b4 I even consider that I've got the c34s new power goals to achieve . So ill just let the misses drive the m35 and remove temptation! Then again she wants more out of it already as well, bloody addictive stagea's

Well bang for buck is my creed.The new one has a done motor.Will go RB30/25 same as No1 son is doing for the S13 Drifta. He can do the hard yards and I can stroll along behind getting the clues.

And, I am definately addicted. Might have to get onto a Methanol Program LOL

Thats the one. The 4bidn1. Actually I got a Classics mate of mine to bid. He has a program that automatically makes a bid 5 secs before close.I am too effin old to grasp all the IT shifties.

Lol, the other day, I was trying trying to work out what I'd replace the Stagea with, when the time came;

I reckon it would end up being another one...

I'm pretty keen on an 86 GTS, or golf R32/GTI/R, Polo GTI, or 2nd hand M3/335Ci or a 370GT... to sum things up.. I have no idea

Not really sure where my motivation to get rid of it came from, its not the greatest for commuting (fuel), not that all of the others above are any better. Also I struggle to think of more than 2 or 3 times since owning it (so once a year) where I have actually needed the space it has on offer. That said still love it, and will/would be sad when/if it sells haha 0 interest in almost a month on the market :(

If anyone is interested or knows some one that is.. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/newcastle-west/cars-vans-utes/2002-nissan-stagea-m35-250t-rsfour/1032449513

booked the trailer for Friday morning and lending a mates patrol so I can tow the Stagea to the auto trans shop to have an investigation.. hopefully back on the road for christmas :)

So, ummm, that inlet manifold gasket that was/is leaking on my car since the last round of mods? It's most likely goooooonnnneeee now... Car barely idles at the moment.

Got a coil pack loom for the 25G from USA. Also a PS belt for the RS4. As [ post the latest addition to the Addict Stable is on a trailer heading for the Promised Land. Tamborine Mountain.

Transgo installed DRW Automatics in Adelaide kitted out many a Dinosaur mobile got the knod for the Job.

Guess I echo the many others who say was a worthwhile investment.

Thanks Scott Gold Label Nulon Trans fluid was a good choice according to Dave at the workshop.

Well let's see...on Thursday I inspected the bolt that had pulled through the rear left mud guard moulding after she-who-controls-the-marital-vajayjay back it into the garden edging, and yesterday I inspected the damage on the right rear door after my 5yo daughter threw open the left rear door of the Commodore with nary a care in the world.

Today I'm coming to terms with the fact that It's Started - that long, inexorable slide that a vehicle goes through from pristine fresh import to pile o' crap when it is subjected to the rigours of family life.

Sigh.

An emanage ultimate with universal loom

Who'd you get to install and tune that? Keen to hear about someone in SA with some hands on experience.

I'm finally getting access to a hoist and workshop this week and should get my dramas sorted out - I'm wanting to get an EMU install finally done soon after!

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
