Hey Guys,

Sorry I had to leave at Thirroul, Dad and I had stuff to do this arvo. Had a great time driving through the national park, and good to meet some of you from the forums/sau club.

Some photos from Audley

PS. The old man hasnt shut up about the silver stagea, he has already checked carsales etc lol

The Stagea's great!!! but there's a few things that really need to be done as precautionary measures for happy / no hassles motoring, best to do a little research on them.

IE: dump pipe/turbo - there's a cat in the stock one that holds a lot of heat on the back of the turbo which has a ceramic exhaust wheel causing early failure also drilling out the oil feed drain is a good mod too. ( turbo has a life expectancy around the 100K km - some of which last longer, I've just hit 100k myself and it's still good and I've given mine a bit of a flogging on the track etc) also cooling mods to suit Australian conditions wouldn't go astray!!!

then there's the usual wear and tear.

But all in all I recommend them!!!

also note: they're not easy to mod as the RB's due to the ECU (they have a VQ motor in them)

but it was a great day out, enjoyed the drive and got a lot of interest/complements on the car which was great!!! most car meets/cruises I go on people ignore it HAHA

Cheers, Theo.

Thanks to everyone who came today for a great day. I hope to see you all again in 2014 for a few more cruises, it was great meeting all those I got to. Also big thanks to James and Danny for organising everything!!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • 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.
