Nice.. does it sound better?

Did some sanding, getting the edges of the windows cleaned up.

Buzzed out the old bog. That rear guard is pretty bad.

Now... to think like a piece of sheetmetal, :dry: its the only way i can beat it back into shape.

Having a subconcious understanding of the material and process can be a shortcut to skill. I found out when i used an oxy welder for the first time. :D

It's actually ALOT quieter at WOT due to all 12 studs being intact, plus it's just bolted to the stock exhaust.

it does sound a little nicer at idle and has a slightly nicer growl at 1500 - 2000 rpm but mostly Very Quiet.

I will either...

a) get Roadway to do a 2.5" steel exhaust for $440 (quoted)

or

b) buy enough pipe and bends on Ebay and get a mate with a welder to give me a hand.... :whistling:

Started doing the restoration of my Window trims and weather strips old school style. Taking photos as i go to show the process as it is really simple. They look new again.

Today I took my 02 nm35 over Dickson pits.

Have a month to fix the following,

Ride height

Wheels outside of body line

"Play in forward tail shaft universal joint"

RHF inner cv boot split

Non compliant tint.

Exhaust noise is 'on limit' which shouldn't be an offence right!

Also need an engineering cert for the upgraded brakes

They just want an engineers for brakes i think.

They're big 14" infinity brakes, how they knew they were aftermarket and not an option is beyond me since they knew nothing else about stageas.

I have to provide track measurements for the car also

Wow - I thought you'd sail through.

Height looked fine, tyres looked flush and what noise ???

Yeah the noise is fine I'm sure .

Ride height seems fine but it did scrape a little over the pit when exiting. They said the coil overs would have to come off because even if you wind them up they'd have no spring.

The wheels are probably 5mm outside the guards or st least flush.

So what do I need, brakes, wheels and suspension off a stock 2002 Stagea.the other stuff I need to just fix.

    • 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 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
