Just wondering if anyone is running a Thule rack on their C34 Stagea and if so, what bar width are you using? I followed the fit guide on Thule Japan's site which recommended 863 (aero bar) which are 150cm and as it turns out way over length.

I need to order the right width bar in so what do I need? I'm thinking 127cm ones (aero bar 861)?

I'm going to get some tomorrow from a local supplier.

From recent searches I found that we can use the 08 Toyota Rav4 roof racks.

Option 3 - AeroBar Max Load 100 (kg) Price (Includes GST) $270.00 (RRP)

It didn't paste well but 861 looks like it'll be perfect.

Is there one's available that can carry more weight than 100kg? Also has anyone used a roof basket? Tossing up whether the racks on their own will be fine to transport wheels (straped ofcause) or would the basket be a better and safer option?

Definitely would run a basket. Spread the load better, easier to tie down etc. its all academic because you're still supporting the lot via the roof rails anyway,

Yeah I have the 757 foot pack, I was just a bit mislead it appears by the recommendation for the 863 bars on the Japanese (english language) site.

I don't know what the 863 bars will fit, maybe M35? Who knows. The listing was for 1997-2001 Stagea.

The 863 bars are way too long for the c34, I bought the 861 bars(120cm) which fitted perfectly.

Was looking at the 869 bars(127cm) but that hanged out a bit too much.

I can double check tomorrow as my bars are in the shed at the moment.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
