im pretty sure it was a space thing. we discussed log manifold, 4-1, but the end of the day we didnt have much space to fit athe turbo in, so we went with two, with a knife edge into the turbo.

Base tune confirmed with dmd,

natro powered, ga15 throttle body, 370cc injectors (thanks in advance scotty).

all to do is hook up bov, and swap fuel for e85 when i arrive. i might run the tank to empty on the way there... keep a spare bit of unleaded in the car just incase... dont really wanna be draining fuel in the middle of the street!

ha.

almost didnt pull anythin.

she had a fender bender last night, my own fault. looked down at the speedo to check my speed (as you do every 20 seconds in vic or face life in prison) literally half a sec later i looks up and theres a rajab damn ute sat in the middle of the highway.

fortunately i was doing about 30, but the roads where a little greasy, skidded into him at about 10kph. i got a smashed head light (which i ve fixed already) and a dented bonnet. ill pick a second hand one up when i can.

he had bent bumper and a slightly bent tail pipe. inb4 5k repair bill.

micra is off the road until i can replace the punctured tyre i have (prob caused the skid) and fit the better brake pads, fingers crossed its going back to scottys on sat night/sunday so i can install the hd clutch and jun fly.

shit night last, coupled with the fact my abs module blew on the hsv.

its time like this we all have when we doubt our builds/cars and consider selling them. wife was ace and said dont worry about it, was nothing you could have done.

nistune received my ecu this morning, so i should have that back with a base tune to run the 370cc injectors by the 30th.....

Oh that sux major Muslim grenades man.

Sounds only very cosmetic though and glad it was not any worse.

Keep it going man, most of us here want to see the Abbey Snot Rocket chop some ricers.

thanks guys. it no where near as bad as im making out.

still first accident (my fault) in 12 years. i was so angry at my self.

oh well! imma keep fighting the good fight.

scotty will be happy to know all i could think about during the accident was protect the intercooler and turbo! i had enough time to steer out of the way to the left, thats why it only copped the headlight. not full front on.

WTF? Damn shame Platts. Didn't bend the turbo did it?

read the above mate. nah made contact at about 10kph, guy came off his brakes for me as well. nice chap. he said he saw it happening but couldnt move because i lancer pulled out on him.

oh well.

lol wait till your motor blows...

i mean, fingers crossed itll hold strong whilst in your hands. glad to hear it wasnt a large accident.

    • 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.
