Good to see employers do the right thing when left to their own devices.

As opposed to the unions let's stick it to the employer! YEAH! Promote everyone yeah! Oh wait... How'd that go for holden? Ford? Mistubishi?.. Alcoa?

Quite the trend there...

Get car back on Friday

Fark yeah, engine bleeds ok, head not lifting now. Farken sweet.

Torque converter good, best mod ever

Exhaust sounding nice, really good move there too

Car driving nice, even fixed fuel tank lid

Day off, maybe take a trip through the hills

You mean leveraged like with loans?

Straight cash brah.

How will/did you manage to accomplish this?

Say you worked at 20 to 30. 10 years.

You would have to be on an average salary of $220k p.a

So about $70k in tax, and say $50k in spending a year.

Would leave $100k in savings over 10 years

Maybe someone put you on a Voodoo doll

need more info. what happened?

inspected a nissan cedric for someone interstate the other week. its got issues, but cheap. he's almost sold on importing a RB25DET AWD model, but isnt sure about letting this cheap one pass by (because its such a great example, not). Now he wants to express post me his OBD2 scan tool so I can see what the engine light issue is.

do i:

talk some sense into him and say get the car inspected by mechanic/workshop and use their scan tool.

or

offer to do what he asks, charging money to do it.

need more info. what happened?

Nothing happened, it blew while I was overtaking a car in an overtaking lane at 110kmh in 4th gear.

The only reason I built the RB is cause, well, the original one exploded and I had free labor and my options were forged RB, or replacement standard engine, both pretty much for $0.

Plus there was a stroker kit for sale for near nothing.

It appears however that no-one can actually build this engine, so, yeah... building something so it'd be more reliable than a 15-20 year old engine... lol was not.

    • 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.
