Well as i said i was unable to make it due to having to go check out my cefiro and decide on whether to give em the 'go ahead' with the engine swap. I did make it down to the Shell servo to say hi to Nissaner & CC.

I think next time we need to make the organisation a bit better. Sorry if it caused any probs.....i did say I was gonna be a 'no show'.

Was good to put some names and faces to fellow ceffie owners! :uh-huh:

I decided after taking my ceffie for a spin that it really does need a new engine.....running like an absolute dog....about 40% power loss....so in goes a new engine & hopefully pickup locked in for Sat fortnight! It also gave me an opportunity to 'identify' a few other issues........me thinks it needs the guards rolled considering it was rubbing harder than a $2 whore! :werd: Anyone had this done to their cefiro??? Cost?, workshops to do it!? :confused: Apart from a couple of new tyres and getting used to driving with a cage, all should be good to go!

Neways thanx again to Tom for letting me whore along for the ride in his ceffie, to the workshop and our round trip around Sydney ahahahahhahah :cuddle:

you want the guards rooled just on the inside or you want some flare looking things? if you just want to roll the inside, then 7 day tyres are ok if you want to pay too much, $50 two guards.

Well what can I say guys haha

5 of us turned up to Penrith and waited 2+ hours and no one else showed!  Was good to meet some new owners though so I was pretty happy.

My sincerest apologies for you guys waiting for 2hrs+.

I was running late to space station and decided by the time I got there I wouldn't make it to Penrith cos noone from space station was going there and plus I wouldn't make the time.

Little did I know you guys would wait 2hrs+ - oh well next times the trick!

5 cars sounds like a great number so apologies again for missing it guys hope everyone had fun!

    • 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.
