Loveley suspension in the Forester. Very nice.

Seats, and everything are good, cant compare to the old commercial vehicle Navara.

Im sure he will love it, they have nice 4wd handling too.

:yes:

Turbo?

Yep, now I just need the more power bit!
I imagine a torquey 400kw and drag radials would destroy the old driveshafts. GTR rear end should be next to unbreakable. I hope.

I'm going to need an alignment too with adjustable toe and camber just whacked in to get it rolling. Craig Hall should be able to sort it out :)

Dont get anything with rose joints, stick with proper ball joints and bushes.

Firstly the rubber boots dont last because its the wrong shape/design, boots get too stretched and twisted.

Secondly the joints wear out very quickly.

So you end up having to re buy those bits in 6 months, (this time the good expensive ones) and its a terrible waste of cash.

I have had: Driftworks, Just Jap, and Hardrace rose joints sht themselves. Good thing about Hardrace is they have the option: bush or rose.

Driftworks do a nice Hicas lock, yet their castor rod braces are total crap.

Nice work btw...... :thumbsup:

Picked it up!

Bought this little Charade to fix up and use as a daily.

It's gonna need a bit of work haha.

Shocks need replacing. Damaged rims and bald tyres. Brake pedal goes to the floor. No dash lighting. Drivers seatbelt constantly locks. Drivers seat flexes as you lean into it. Crappy tinting that's peeling off. Front grill is just sitting in place. And then just general human slime... :/

It's gonna be a mad little beast when I'm done! :D

That's Madness Chris! Love it. ;)

I've been checking out so many vehicles on GumFace etc...

Just gotta sell the Beasty. Dropped the price a little too. :(

Anyone?

Looking forward to getting into it! Best part is it cost me 35 bucks for a tank today and a drive back from Sydney only used 1/5th of a tank haha!

Actually, depending on if and what I get (if and when the 33 goes), I may have some rims that will fit the Charade.

What year is it and the PCD etc?

Working on the charade today. Swapped passenger and driver side locks as the driver one was well worn. Pulled door cards out and am giving everything a good clean. Removed tint from passenger side windows and rear window. De-stickered the back end.

Ordered new shocks, tempted to get some king springs at some stage to take 20-30mm off it ;)

Do it! Kings aren't the best but they work. :D

Dad got the Forester today, Sad to say goodbye to the Navara.

That car (owned for nearly 20 years) has been part of Every House Move I have ever had starting from the age of 19. :(

So Happy for him n Mum to have a Loverly Upgrade though.

He stalled it twice leaving the Caryard. :rolleyes:

Finished cleaning the interior and put the seats and plastics all back in. New drivers door handle, new dash lights, new tyres and new oil.

Plugs, leads, coolant flush, shocks and brakes to go.

Gettin close to getting this thing in a drivable condition! :)

My maths say that's less than 2L/100km lol

I spend last night installing BM50 and gtr rear brakes, bleed, refit exhaust with modified hanger because GTR cradle is a bit different, tighten all bolts on draveshafts (really shouldve done that before refitting the exhaust!) and put normal wheels back on. Wheel alignment thismorning :)

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
