Too bad Mark.

A neighbor of mine in the UK used to have an old Cedric Wagon.

You know you will get a lot more backpackers in a wagon than a sedan :whistling:

Get a Stagea.... Shame the Axis 350S cant be imported. I want one.

Are you still in Melbourne? Shout out if you want those headlight sockets or they will be thrown out.

Na mate dont need them anymore. All sorted.

But i do wanna say a massive thanks to scotty for helping me with the motor swap. It was a massive gamble and with all gambles therei the chance of failure and that whay happened. So the motorswap didnt happen and we kept the car NA.

Scotty worked wonders and the car is amazing, cleaned plenum and intake and heaps of other things.

Big thanks. Staying in room 35 was awesome.

It was also good meeting some of the VIC stag owners and their whips.

So there is not much i can do performance wise so im just going to enjoy it how it is now.

Now wearing a blue (BW5) aero front and soon some new wheels

Pics up soon!

We went through about 20 cans of degreaser/carb cleaner, as well as 4 odd litres of concentrated liquid degreaser. Damn those DD engines are dirty inside. Glad the det's don't have egr recirculation.

Hands were almost eaten away by the degreasers, just a normal day for me. lol.

So i have 2/3 aero on the car. Buying a sedan rear bumper with aero lip on in QX1 - winning!. Problem is it can only go by sea unless i wanna sell butt hole to DHL and let the rape me on price.

Rest will be painted to match along with the mirror bases painted in a glossy piano black finish to match the B-pillars and also the foglight blanks and bumper mesh in the same black.

After the Rays wheels i bought off same will be refurbed.

Ok so the VQ25DET engine swap didn't go as planned. Partly because of my lack of research and comparing cars and their differences.

So attempt number two is in the early stages of thoughts/planning.

I'm keeping this close to my chest.

This will be a long painful road.

Once I have the donor car it's down hill from there which is pretty common. The conversion kit from the states includes custom sump, engine mounts, transmission mounts shifter plate and a single piece tailshaft.

If that's not a clue I don't know what is.

    • Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?
    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
