Got to the pieshop late via bowral but was good to catch up with Terry and Matt

any word on how much was raised?

$502 from the 1st page iirc.....

Are the front rotors 36mm thick? Can the calipers support that wide of a disc? If you dont mind me asking, where did you source them?

I only ask as i am upgrading my brake very shortly and am weighing up my options.

I can find out for you Damo but don't know for sure. Calipers and discs are pretty well matched to each other I think.

Love the new sig pic mate! :yes::thumbsup:

Was great to see my old beast again even though it is ages since I've driven it, owning it for five years does funny things, it was cool and weird at the same time watching you in my rear view on the way back down the pass; was like I was watching someone else driving my car, haha

Thanks for the photos all; was a great day. Loved looking in my mirrors to see so many cool cars lined up behind.

And Matt, was a pleasure having you scream past at full throttle as we hit the 110 zone coming out of Heathcote :D

Id be interested to find out.

Haha cheers. The car needed a good run!

Thanks to all for coming out and digging deep. Really sorry to the guys we missed at the bottom, learnt some lessons for next time.

Yeah pity we didn't catch anyone at the school, Dave and I drove past it a few times though (sounds a bit dodgy... :P) and didn't see anyone there. Next time I guess we will announce an actual time to arrive at Albion Park and hang around a bit longer. All considered, the day went really well though I thought.

Pretty hard to set a time considering for traffic and no real place to park for very long there at Albion.

Next time we may choose the train station or something to be able to hang around a bit longer. I just didn't want us to get cited for parking along side the road if someone came along.

Also having a leader/contact at Albion would be a good idea.

Lessons learned. Thanks for understanding folks.

Nah Eric I think we always park next to the school (opposite the servo) and haven't ever had a problem with parking there for half an hour or more.

Guess we will sort this out for next time

Hope no parking inspectors are reading this thread Matty because those 2 white weapons dont look like buses to me! haha! :P BTW your photos are amazing! Id love to get you to do a shoot on my car someday if you're available? :worship:

Thought someone might ask Mick... look closer at the sign mate...

Might not be able to make it out on that resolution but it says "School days only" :D

Thanks mate, I'm just a hack but would love to have a go sometime when I'm next up the Mountains.

Can the couple who were enquiring about a V-Spec II yesterday please email me on

[email protected] ???

Meanwhile, I'm very much enjoying the pics.

The BMW respectably followed a GT-R all the way up the mountainside > no slipping either

hey Terry...dats me..yep will email u soon..cheers

The first post said that you would stop at Albion Park at 13:00. We got there at 12:58 (as we were late to Kirrawee). Buy the time I found the right contact number to see where you guys were, it was 13:30....so we took off for the pie shop. Kept well below speed limit as it was the first time driving the car. But I will definitely be doing the mac pass run again.

Things don't always go to plan - but it's all good as it was for a good cause. :) Maybe nxtime ;)

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
