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.

    • I have been wondering if this is as simple as a voltage issue with the battery. Even on a charger, I can’t seem to get it over 11.8V on the terminals.    Unless the alternator has failed as well, that wouldn’t cause it to die in the middle of driving though. 
    • I’ll give this a shot next time I’m able to wrench on it.    I was able to get my hands on a Haltech Nexus, so that should help with some of the more bizarre troubleshooting. Make sure the CAS is actually sending signal and will be able to set the proper dwell on the R35 coils.    I’ve checked power/grounds/signals at the CAS, ignitor, and plugs and it was all there. Granted this was static with ignition on, not cranking.    I also plan on swapping out the fuel filter and throwing on a fuel pressure gauge at the rail just to confirm I’m getting the correct pressure at the rail. 43psi if I recall correctly. 
    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info
