Spotted a dark blue M35 parked along the fence-line at Oran Park today, watching me and the SAU-NSW crew thrashing around the South circuit.

As always, I was the ONLY Stagea owner with his car out. :3some: BezerkR32 (Stu) and Xmetal (Ian) both have excuses - Stu was racing his LS1-powered R32 (good son of rajab it sounds awesome, and goes soooo well!) and Xmetal no longer owns his.

HELLO! I also have excuses!

hey I had an excuse too! but I'll bring it to the next one :P

I spotted Nick's stagea hooning around oran park today, looked good and I reckon the 32 gtr seat would have helped heaps...the standard ones are more lounge room than race track

Oh yeah, your excuse is more than reasonable too, mate! Can't wait to go for a ride in it when you eventually get it back. ;)

HELLO! I also have excuses!

Oh alright...

Just seen yellow s2 on Quakers Hill pkwy, guy driving his missus around. Also a white s1 (i think) about to turn onto Quakers Hill pkwy at Stanhope Gardens. Where are all these Stags comming from!

Man, so many around my area too! How come I never see them (or you, Tangents)???

I'm hiding :thumbsup: have only had the rs for about 3 weeks but i work in richmond so dont get to parra that often... alas i think a little western subs meet is on the cards?

they're multiplying!

It sucks though: just got my Just Car renewal, and my value dropped by around $2.5k from last year: obviously more people are crashing them, too...

yeah they did that to me and tried keeping the premium the same... assholes... ended up adjusting the value back up for an extra 13 dollars

I spotted a silver arx on the motorway lastnite around c-town @8=9ish.

i think i flashed my brake lights at you while going past

That must have been me heading back from canberra!

Yes, brake lights flashed - if known at time would have waved dollars for one of those stainless dump pipes. :)

Yeah: it's really impressive (not): I have spent more than their market value on the car in the last 2 months... It's time to renegotiate, methinks...

saw gold/bronze m35 in lesmurdie the other day. as soon as i realised what it was, i stuck my arm out and gave the thumbs up. i didnt seem to get acknowledgement/ a relpy though. i was in the white suzuki sierra with the masses of spot lights on the front. :)

RBPOWA-(TJ)

Heatherton road/ Chandler Road Caltex.

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
