Looking forward to seeing the beast back in action, with even more grunt this time.

I wanted a Stagea as our family wagon but Kim didn't want anything to do with it, doesn't like the look at all - she is a Toyota girl too. In the end, I got a '03 Caldina GT-Four N. They are surprisingly quick, slight boost increase and it does mid 5sec 0-100 and 13

sec 1/4. But the best thing is the grip level they can generate and the handling, they are quite a bit lighter than a Stagea and the N version gets tricky suspension and diff.

caldina sounds good, my mate had one, felt perky, but i bought the stagea to modify a fair bit, have 3540 .82 /ext gate/700cc injectors, has a o44 and undercarsurge tank, water/meth inj, couple of big trans coolers , just saving to get the auto trans built atm, with bigger lock up converter then will bolt turbo on and crank it up...

cheers

Sounds like a quick family wagon in the making - and knowing you it was never in doubt ;) The Caldina is off limits to serious tinkering... for now.

Can't wait to get these on the car and in action! Given the so-so response to a private day in July, it looks like the open street meet on 29 July is the go.

Hopefully they deliver a reasonable 60ft given my set-up, Steve.

Andrew, I bought them from A1 Performance in WA. I bought my last set - 275 40 17 MT ET 1 from the same place. Good prices, cheaper than local despite the freight cost - warehouse is Sydney based anyway.

I might see if I can get out to the next street meet with the R35.

I have broken enough gear doing nines in my R33 so will keep that

for circuit racing & keep it in one piece!

Chucked the old 33 on the dyno today to check the tune prior to drag day and see if a few changes made any difference. Ended up with just over 385kW at the rears. Need a bigger or second fuel pump and larger fuel lines and should squeeze 400+. Will have to wait till later in year though. Just got to fit drag radials and I'm ready to go.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
