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

Been a big weekend with installing bits on the M35.

- swapped over my r34gtt front pads (nismo)
- installed and rewired side mirrors
- installed moshimoto alloy radiator
- installed scotty cooling mod
- installed nismo thermostat
- replaced lower radiator hose
- replaced driverside wiper.


Future mods for secured parts
- gearbox swap (shift kitted)
- walboro 255 fuel pump
- full 3 inch exhaust (scotty front pipe, fujitbuso legalis catback)
- plenum spacer
- Adaptronic with cable throttle set up
- 1000cc injectors
- replace rear door
- daleo intake
- tune.

a small lights project. for a long time wanted to do that and it was not difficult

later the smoke Lamin-X. 

ps. neighbors volvo background 

Those ramps are awesome!

 finishing is still missing

all garbage timber which found the plot. otherwise would have gone to the sauna chamber :)

sometimes need to make higher

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
