Some of you may remember me from way back - back when I had the EMSTA R33. Took a break from the import scene (after 2009), got a hyundai getz, got married, sold the getz, bought a 2009 x-trail (which the wife drives), became a dad, driving the yellow jazz again, and now left the usual 9-5 to run a business and going to be a dad again! Lot has happened in the last 4 years.

But now hoping to get back into it - just over the lack of power in the jazz, and although she does have great space, its just not big enough for the stuff that I will be getting in the next few weeks. Just wondering if you guys can recommend any decent spaced imports that is good for my Personal Training business (to carry equipment back and forth) as well as to still be able to take family around. Not sure what the price range will be - but maybe around the 10k mark. Need something reliable, reasonably good on fuel (skyline used to chew through the petrol) and perhaps some good insurance places too?

Wonder if the old schoolers are still here :)

cheers!

Matt

Hah! And you are back!

So in short, you need a family car with power and can cater for your personal training business...

Nissan Stagea

Exacrey, although not very good on fuel due to their weight.

I still remember the eMsta name Matt. :)

Ha - yeah I am Jamie! How are you man?

Yeah I was thinking Stagea - but my wife said "the back looks like its been chopped off - so no"

I am thinking of it though, but was thinking if you guys knew any other brands I can check (apart from the liberty like Justin has mentioned) :)

Wasssssup yo

Or a liberty :P

Evo (wagon)? :P

Saw price range. Stagea it is, I'm guessing, No idea on their fuel consumption, however.

yeah I hear you man - I am thinking about it - $10k gets a decent one......its only for around Pakenham mostly

Exacrey, although not very good on fuel due to their weight.

Hmmmm.... the skyline was doing about 13l/100 - but then again i didnt drive it like i do now......

:)

great to be back on here!

Yeah good thank man! Still here, going to meets / car events.

Much in the car scene has changed since you left.

Not saying you have to run this wheel fitment / offset and ride height but the car itself is good.

And your wife drives a X-Trail, so it's your car.

If so - damn! that is a nice machine! I kept seeing skylines man....and still love the imports I see......but just cant get a 2 door :( or a sedan (due to biz)

Yeah, she says she will not want to drive it because of the ugly rear....but no doubt she will take it once and have a ball driving it :) hehe

Hye dude long time no see, went mia for ages lol

have to get a m35 Stag for sure

Evo (wagon)? :P

Saw price range. Stagea it is, I'm guessing, No idea on their fuel consumption, however.

As far as I know there is only one evo wagon in Australia. They aren't on SEVS list and that one was a personal import, guy wanted $70k last time I saw it for sale

cheaper to buy an old wagon body and chuck in evo running gear

probably not the evo wagon you are referring to, but Iron Chef have been putting Airtreks up on their page

welcome back

Subaru B4 (not sure if it comes in a wagon) or the same engine, but in a wagon chassis

I'd go a Forester GT/XT before touching a B4...

The B4 has twin turbos, one small and one big. And there's a big hole between where the small drops off and the big kicks in. :(

The Foz is easy cheap and good on fuel. And really it's just a WRX on stilts.

Oh and welcome back eMsta :)

Yeah I've heard about the b4s flat spot too, would avoid unless planning on doing something with the turbos

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
