Just drove the Stagea all of 30 metres, if that!  Reversed it out of the garage and driveway, turned it around at the T-intersection on the corner of where my house is, then reversed it back in so it can be tucked up tight against the wall and take up less room in the carport.

A light clutch suddenly feels a little bit heavier when you haven't driven a manual for ages...

Gonna have to figure out why the radio stopped working, hopefully it's just a fuse and easy to sort out so I can use it more when the weather warms up a bit.   Car loves the cold, I don't.

Good thing is that it's got a fresh pink slip, thanks to the grumpy old man, LOL.  He's driven it more than I have!

After 3 years, 1 month and two weeks of owning my Stagea, I think I've finally found the little directional toggle switch that is used to control the cursor on the TV. My wife found it lodged under the driver's set while cleaning out the car, the TV itself doesn't actually pop up (stillhaven't got round to sorting it) but it's nice to collect the full set of buttons.

Can someone with a PM/PNM35 please tell me, does the controller switch have two Japanese characters on it? Google Translate tells me it says "decision" but I'm guessing it means "select". Otherwise it's a button for something else and I have no idea what.

Did an oil and filter change using an Aeroflow filter so I'll see how that goes.

Also put in a Whiteline diff bush kit (thanks Daleo) and changed the diff oil.

Diff bushes came out pretty easy with a hammer, washer and some pipe.

Used this setup to try and remove the subframe bush. You can see the juice from the leaky bush. :blush:

I got it out halfway before snapping the bolt and a length of all-thread. It was in there tight! I'd suggest using a head bolt or something high tensile. I ended up pushing out the rubber centre and then cutting out the shell with a hacksaw. All went back in ok and feels all good on the road.

Replaced my center AC vents/trim with a fresh one from Yahoo auctions, wasn't necessary, but there were some small nicks and scratches on it when I got the car

also bidding on a Carbing Okuyama rear tower strut bar and a Do-Luck rear crossbar

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
