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!

    • 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.  
    • 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?
    • 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
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
