It's my car boys, thanks for the help. I'm pulling the oil drains off today and hopefully it's wet when I start it.

Gauges on my Stag are freaking out.

Temp reads at full hot, fuel reads at full tank (when it's not full), speed wont read when driving, rev's just bounce on 1k rpm and wont really go over that when driving and the KM's are reading 999,999km when it should only have 60,000km on it (it's a digital readout)

I've figured out how to make the gauges actually work though at times. I just switch it to on without starting it, let the gauges settle to where they need to be and then start it. This seems to make everything work EXCEPT the km readout is still at 999,999km.

Something electrical I'm guessing and I'm not too keen to mess with electrics in cars ever again after a bad experience.

Any ideas?

Anybody?

Before I take it to some random auto electrition.

you thinking of a VRS kit mang?

just fyi......it stands for "Valve Regrind Set".........all the gaskets required after removing a head

Prob not necessary considering it contains a head gasket :)

Sweet. I didn't know that.... good thing ruby told me to grab one when he removed my head, I needed just about all of the gaskets replaced

if anyone is interested in what happened sam checked the turbos were receiving oil and they are, and has had it looked at, and it looks to be a factory fault with the turbo/s .. bearings or something perhaps. so off come the turbos and back they go.... fun times ahead

dont jinx it!! haha. im not sure if he has taken them back yet, but i think what they do is they have a bench setup or something.. and they will test the turbos there. sam seems to 100 % think its the turbos though. not sure who exactly he has taken it to this week. i reckon if its a fault in the turbo they should somehow compensate all the work that it was to do a turbo swap with engine staying in on a 32 gtr!

My bro has a 1986 MZ20 soarer, 7m-gte auto. Has an issue atm, auto box wont change out of first every now and again. im thinking loose connection somewhere or faulty sensor. Everything in the car is electric, could it be the speed sensor on the gearbox? He has had the thing at an auto trans place in Holden Hill, he seems to think its either the TPS or speed sensor.

Quick post on a problem I had this morning. I noticed my (factory) boost gauge was sitting on just under 0 vacuum, and only moved up a tiny bit above when on full throttle. After spending the rest of the trip to work swearing at it, and wondering if this had anything to do with the almost complete rewiring that it just had (long story..) I popped the bonnet when I got to work to hear a loud sucking sound.

The end of the pressure gauge transducer hose from the rear of the intake manifold had split. It was still in place, but cracked enough that it was sucking air. It looks like it was just a press on fit, so a few seconds with the side cutters, and a cable tie to keep things in place and it works again. Hooray... sometimes it can be simple things that go wrong with these cars!

    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
