I once heard someone (uneducated Skyline owner) refer to Stageas as "boats". At the time I thought this was mildly offensive :angry: but reading this I'm not so sure. Boats being holes in the water that you throw money into, so they say. :devil:

Keep it in wagon mode Darrin, & enjoy.

Cheers GW

I have a new bussiness growing fast which will require me to get really big shed/warehouse.

My company will need a "ute" and I have this little plan to maybe build one and I can "get" away with doing it not at home (wife :rant: )

It would be good to have the wagon and a replica ute in same style and colour for advertiseing etc. This is the long term plan. Good to have a dream.

My brother in law (panel beater) owes me 8 weekends work I just put in helping him repair and I painted an EH wagon for thier wedding.

You've probably seen the pics of utes that are floating around. Just have to find room for the Atessa reservoir (on the right) and the attessa ecu (in the left) and reroute all the wiring - definitely do-able!!

could just leave the reservoir where it is and have a panel in side of the tray, or of course rip it out and just make it 2wd = more fun :whistling:

Ive been looking into it for a while darrin. Qld transport said because of the complexity of the modifications that ud need to build 2 of them and crash 1 for safety tests. But there is other ppl that say other wise. What have u found so far??

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
