I got the HKS Silent Hi-Power exhaust fitted today at Hills Motorsports. Probably a good thing I paid to get it put in as some bolts were quite stuck, to be expected on a 16 year old factory exhaust.

Sounds great around about 3-4000 RPM, very quiet on idle compared to the factory system.

Finally reunited with mine last Tuesday after 2 months off the road.

Now sporting a rebuilt transmission from Kewish. Never realised how much I enjoyed my until I had to drive a 2" raised Prado for a couple of months (good car, but that handling :()

What happened to box?

What happened to box?

Hit a 'roo.

Impact caused leak in lines which I couldn't see, being just after 1am.

Got home, no fluid in box.

Much better now though.

Downside is that it also tore apart the harness leading to the EGR sensors.

Wiring was worked on but still get engine light so may need a replacement harness... too bad it is the same harness that runs along the top of the engine :(

Lakes101 awesome work mate!!!!

Love the strut brace? where can I get one from for the Axis?

Love the catch can mounting, interesting location thats for sure.

Regarding the cooler install, how much of the reo bar did you have to chop out and mod?

There is no chopping or modding required with the Hdi front mount.

Hi Guys!

I thought you might be interested to see what I've been doing to my Stagea in the UK. I know Stageas are big in Oz but we have quite a good scene here and I'm aiming to build one of the best:

Here she is, just back from the bodyshop:

That's 19x12" rears with 355 tyres BTW!

cheers mate. The strut brace is a g35 one from the U.S. Can't remember where I got it from most likely conceptz

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
