I wanted a dayz edition, I like the kit that it comes with ... this one also has 65,000km whereas all the others I was looking at had double that, and were asking for more. So I'm getting sick of lis

I’ve been chillin’ out this Easter long weekend, you know bumming around at home and doing some much needed relaxation. Anyway today I decided that I’ll give the Stagea a wash seeing that I haven’t re

Hey, so it’s been a while huh? I’ve been a ghost for quite some time, on here and various forums. I lost my interest in cars for a while and funnily enough I started playing car roulette again.

The Skyline was sold to Jeff as the mortgage is more important than a car I’ll barely drive. Shortly after I sold the R33, I scored a job as an order entry/business to business support clerk for one of the worlds largest navigation companies. With that in mind I set out to get a fun simple daily, so I went back to my roots. I bought a Mazda Roadster.

It was a very neat example, and a fun car to drive. A perfect base for a simple, enjoyable car. But things went another way when Benny decided it was time to move on himself. He kept nagging me about the Stagea and how I should be reunited with it. For a while I just brushed it off but when I started loosing interest in the Roadster for an IS200 … I thought about the Stagea long and hard.

The conclusion I came to was I put too much time, effort and money into it and I really couldn’t be bothered (nor do I have the luxury) to do anything that extensive to a car again in the near future. It was at a point where I could tie up loose ends and enjoy it for what it was. So I gave in, the Roadster went on the market and sold shortly after which made my reunion with the Stagea set in stone.

Although it’s back in my grasp, it’s not how I remember it. The first owner took a few things off it like the brakes, and suspension components along with the R33 LSD. Over time all these things will be rectified when I can find the time and/or money to do so. There are a few other little details that I’ll be fixing along the way too.

One day, I might even be out on the track again getting this thing sideways, at least I hope so.

Spotted this @ Mona Vale around 5:30 tonight, walked into the sushi train and was spotted by a bloke I used to work with at Supercheap and is the current owner of this??

He has been through more cars than I eat meat pies xD. Hope he looks after it, great looking car in person.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
