Well would you look at that. Glad its gone to a good home.

Are you still chasing a hard pipe kit? My mate has one for sale. A full greddy one off a bnr32

yeah i probably should get that sorted soon, got a link or anything?

I have narrowed an issue with an rpm hesitation i have been having down to the TPS so im getting that sorted tomorrow and i will also finally have a GTR back seat to go in (embarrassingly been using a gtst back seat up until now)

I'm gonna go on the SA GTR cruise this weekend to give it a proper drive, if the tps sorts the problem out i will get back to modifications.

turns out the other TPS we had was the wrong one, so to see if we could fix the issue we took the old one out and cleaned it up. testing it it does have a dead spot which we managed to get rid of, we tested all other sensors which were all good. put it back on.

now it has made it better but its still not right so we have ordered a new one anyway, its obviously just not right and there cheap so yeah.

interestingly it has created another issue, if i rev reasonably hard, say over 4000rpm and let the revs drop out of gear, it drops right down to stall, hoping this is just due to the dud tps, but we shall see when the new one arrives.

i did managed to take it for a good drive with some other SA GTRs which was good. car performed really well, the dead spot is between 2500-2800, somewhere in there so hard drivings not an issue.

also pulled my finger out and washed the GTR back seat i got from Josh and got that in. f**k i hated the gtst seats someone put in it.

ok been a while since i updated anything. spent a week in bali for my 30th which meant the car was off the road for more than 1 day which never happens, so i took the opportunity to finally get the subframe pulled out and replaced the much needed bushes thank again to josh at Forge.

the original bushes are knackered and the subframe movement was getting to a serious point.

check out how much movement there is. imagine this transferring through the diff on accell - decel.

so, new bushes arrived and the subframe came out. new bushes, new fluids and a happy rear end.

rear end is obviously much tighter and much nicer to drive.

also had the intake modified to remove the turbo shuffle thank god.

also, i have been ...slowly... being lzy... but chasing down the slight hesitation issue and i have been blaming the TPS... which i still do. but i have also just discovered that my BOVs are venting to atmo.... so yeah... might need to just fix that up :P

Haha, just at work. Shitty plastic on a cheap head deck. So i have bought the same head ubit i loved in my stag which was a really good media player that you could plug a massive hdd into and it also had a wicked clock :P

Also got a full set of alpine r type speakers, 3 ways for the rear and splits for the front aswell as a small 10" sub in a sealed box (for hard kick over droning bass) and amps to run the lot. Should be a bit nicer than..... well... nothing.

    • 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.
