Hi Timmmay, Yep, Its still got the Navi system in it. Of course, its all in Japanese, so not much good for here unless I can get the right software etc. It would be nice to know if anyone has had any experience in either flashing or firmware upgrading, adapting an existing system to fit etc. Its got a TV tuner too, which Is also in the same boat. Cos its got the 6"screen, I reckon I could update the head unit to one of the new DVD players, send the output to the screen and fit up a Ipod adaptor to run the Ipod Video. Should be trick then!

That blue one looks good. I was interested in that too, with the leather and woodgrain. If its in a similar condition to mine, it will be a damn good pickup. :P

Saw Marc today, he should be right for Saturday. If we can get Tee along it should be great. Apparently there is another Silver Series 2 in town, so Marc is trying to get in touch.

Looking forward to posting some great pics for everyone.

Spotted PranK's Stagea at Unique Autosports in Castle Hill - our prez is leaving the ranks of the Stagea faithful and the car is up for sale...

Havn't seen Prank around for a while now. I wonder what is making him sell :P

mmm, no1 in Adelaide knows what a damn Stagea is, so, I'll never be spotted. lol

but then again I keep the beast locked up & she doesnt see any sunshine, so that doesnt help.....

mind you, she gets HEAPs of looks when out & about.. ie you can see em thinking wtf is THAT?

i keep getting g'd up at servos by the attendants. they ask if it's the new volvo or audi. they get a bit surprised when i say it's a nissan. i don't let them know though, i just say it's a nissan stationwagon. the intercooler on the front is enough to keep them thinking

We had a get together yesterday in Canberra. We had Terminal's very nice RS4v, Marc2's hot looking Series 2, with 18's and a full body kit, and my Rs4 Dayz edition, with the full body kit and carbon fibre kit. Here is a pic. Terminal will be posting some soon too. :(

    • @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc). 
    • @Murray_Calavera nah, not available yet, they're gearing up for it but won't be available for a few years. So you reckon fuel is the main issue? When this bottom did over 600rwhp it was running big single, twin Z32 MAFs and believe it or not, e manage blue, an old school piggyback 😅 not really a fair comparison but I guess it shows how a big single differs to smallish twins.   
    • @Darrel Can you get pump e85 where you are? If you want to max out those turbos, e85 + bigger modern injectors will be the easiest way to get you there. 
    • Hi @Butters , thanks for your reply. Pump 97 BTW but yeah, I get that old tech is what it is and can't compare to modern stuff but I still believe 500 is achievable, even with these smallish twins. Their effective limit is around what, 24 psi? Intend to go single one day but then again, I'm not chasing big power and might not be worth the investment. Just wondering what if any factors are limiting my setup after a few changes. Let's call this Dyno 02. This is after R35 MAFs, 720cc injectors, DW300 FP, HKS step 2 264/264 cams.
    • Was away on holidays last week and hadn't heard from powder coater, so I gave them a bell and it was all ready. Went and picked it up yesterday and gave it a clean this afternoon and started bolting it up.  Mate finally got around to ordering my new ECU, hopefully thats here this week and I can start getting that mounted and finish the wiring on it. Tomorrow I'll try and get the exhaust back in and see what else I can tick off the list
