ooohh sweet, :P cheers Duncan

so will you be joining us in the next event? i wanna head down again soon!

got some good tyres now.. ahhh second hand kuhmo's from the MG's for the front and some TOYO tyres fro the back, (couple of hundred each but dunno what model)

welllllll....I've finally got my hands on a block so you might just see me on track before the end of the year :P

Interesting to see how the khumos go.....front is where you need the grip really...and the Toyo proxes ra1s I tried a while back were excellent for road tyres.

atm, the back is where i need grip... cant get the power down!! guess i'll have to save up and get some softer springs for the rear to allow more squat! that combo has got to be better than the sime and other unknown brand im running now!! good for drifting as they dont wear at all!!!!

that block is for the GTR?? was it that hard to find one, just hard to find one at the right price?? why so long til shes back on the track??

ahh well apparently everyone in Oz who has taken an engine out has found it was stuffed, we can't run a bored block so I had to find one with factory size, much harder than I thought....got it now so the rebuild is beginning again....

would be definately hard for them to tell, not often they would get you to take the head off these to check... makes the racing more expensive though! if you blow the engine up in a race.. you HAVE to buy a new one and cant repair the old one! doesn't seem right!

  • 2 weeks later...

Well I just downloaded two of those vids and all I can say is... shocking driving! Did no one stay on the track? Must have been the pressure of performing for the video.

Redex and Fatz - you should be ashamed of yourselves :P

    • 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.
