Just buy the missus one that's what I did :) ok well it is a ralliart not an EVO but hey it is still fun to drive

My missus wants an Evo X (even though she knows she'll never afford it), but would settle for an SST boxed Ralliart. Just got to train her NOT to put a cannon on it like her VRX lol

We got the twin clutch SST model. It is a great gear box and is lightening fats with the gear changes....

We have had some trouble with it though :(

After 5 visits back to the dealership they are changing the entire gearbox and mechatronics unit...... $16800 :blink:

I am just happy it is under warranty :) :)

Was that the shopping car Martin? :P

I think she might be tempted to come to the dark side. Said this morning that she wants a Stagea haha

That was indeed the shopping car.

Still make mincemeat of any Stagea though, and you would kind of hope so :)

A guy dies when his Nissan 180sx hits a stobie and catches fire at port adelaide last night

and of course, the news presenter has to drop the line "witnesses said they heard a car doing burnouts in the area"

f**k i hate the media

Kinda suss location tho - where people are known for letting off some steam away from the general public (commendable..) It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it were true - and if its true, why not report it? Its the cases where they blatantly make shit up that really gets my goat...

Still, assuming the report is true, its a shame there was a death over something as trivial as a burnout.... people may say 'fatalities can happen in controlled conditions too' - but this just reinforces the fact that in spite of putting safety first, people still die. Put safety last, the odds of injury are greatly increased....

edit* oh moorehouse road.... no reason to be there at night unless up to no good. but still.... media exaggeration of the truth prevails.

yeah that general area is bad for it. I recently went for a drive out to outer harbour, took a scenic detour on the way back.... well this detour is the fresh road that links up to the submarine corp - no buildings, covered in burnouts - a street light already flattened by someone who lost control and a memorial further down to some girl who died..

cant see how either of those things could happen there.... but obviously it does.

oh and pelican point is nothing like i remember it. used to be completely empty except for the fishermen, trailbike riders, and the smouldering wrecks of dumped stolen cars. but that was 15 years ago...

I work up in that area. Mersey road/veich road/victoria road all have rubber all over the place. ASC folks leave in the arvo and spend it doing amateur drift around the roundabouts in clapped out commodores and statesmans. Matter of fact there was a crash last friday with 2 commodores on veich road as they were leaving, one was a write off. Always seeing bogans doing stupid shit up there. Idiots dont realize that its all being captured on camera...

-D

Edit - the memorial isnt actually for a car fatality - a woman was murdered in the mangroves a couple of months ago

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
