So, at the Stagea 15th Anniversary cruise, Terry, Eric, Dave and myself mentioned that we have quite a few events left to run before the year is out, and we'd ALL love to see more Stageas attending and taking part. Here's a quick run-down of our remaining events for the year:

I would love to go to more but tonight is my bucks night and I get married in 3 weeks and work is flatout. Once it all calms down count me into all events I promise after the cruise 2 weeks ago I am now even more in love with my stagea and how it handled in the wet I want to see it on a track.

See you at the legends dinners....and I promise I'll start going to a couple of track days and other fun events as soon as it get the current problem sorted and both of the new diffs in.

would love to get out and have some fun but not to sure how the M35 would handle the tightness of the TexiKahana.

the trackday would be sick but its a fair drive down just for the day.............

My Soarer weighs 1700kgs + signle spinner diff and beat SSS pulsars etc in the wet at texi

Sadly won't make the Suspension tech night; Nightshift.:down:

Any Texi spots left? I bet nobody has seen an incompetent driver wobble a Black Volvo around witches hats before?:whistling:

Need to get that SAU membership form filled out; thanks Nick.

I'd love to make it to more events, but travel time is an issue in my situation. Another problem for me is that the car is my daily, which kinda rules out trackdays for the time being, as much as I would like to do one. Breaking the daily while its a couple hundred km's away from home would suck, to say the least.

i reakon the trouble will be huge turning circle, the throttle restriction off the line and not being able to use the hand brake (foot brake) LOL plus its not manual LOL.............

but yes a wet track might help a bit!!!

Hi Nick. The link in your sig needs fixing.

The link to the membership forms? I'll check that soon...

Leon, I checked the link and fixed it. Seems as though the thread the original link was in had been moved.

Shame you won't make it, Dale.

Plenty of Texi spots left, and if it doesn't fill out (which is unusual, so get in quick) it just means you can spend more time out there on the skidpan, or take longer breaks between runs and not run the risk of missing out.

Do it, Theo! (And EVERYONE, for that matter!) Don't worry about times, just come out and have fun! I'm sure you'll get around the corners much better than the guys from the Camaro club who brought their cars out for one of our days. You know what Yank cars are like: nice to look at and go damned fast in a straight line, but as soon as it comes to slowing down and taking a corner, they just speared off on their own little adventures. :ph34r::whistling:

meh are you there to be the 1 car that wins or one of the 40 cars that has a great day's fun?

This man, he knows! And he is exactly right! Our days are designed for fun so you can throw your car around to your heart's content with no risk to your license.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
