Hey Guys,

After talking to my Old man's accountant, we found out, that if I sell my Stagea within one year of owning it, I will have to pay capital gains tax. No thanks! ;)

Although I do have one way of getting around it :(

With the car landing in Brisbane on Tuesday, the countdown has begun...and of course, no countdown is complete without a shopping list :) Let the spending begin...

- CGC Highflow

- R32/33 GTR FMIC

- Split Dump (already has Fujitsubo exhaust)

- DFA / IEBC

- Auto trans. Cooler

- SITC

- Bodykit (Prob. DAYZ)

- S2 Rear Lights

- Clear Indicators

- Pioneer Kevlar Splits

- Pioneer Headunit

- Dual Pioneer 12" Subs

- Velor Re-Trim

Thats probably about it for starters! :D I want a manual, but dont think I can justify the cost of it :( Hoping for 13's with that gear. Lemme know what you think

Cheers,

Chris

BTW: I have a few interested people for the Stagea, we may just have a sale yet :)

Mate, cant justify the manual, but it will make the car much better

Ditch these parts and you can/will afford it

- DFA (save 100+tune cost)

- Auto trans. Cooler (save ~200, ditch when manual)

- SITC (save 250+tune)

- Bodykit (Prob. DAYZ) (save ~1k+)

- S2 Rear Lights (save 500)

- Clear Indicators (save 250-300)

- Pioneer Kevlar Splits (save ~250)

- Dual Pioneer 12" Subs (save 700 as you need amp aswell)

- Velor Re-Trim (save what, 1k?)

Thats about 4k in NOT(opinionated opinion) needed stuff!

Manual conversion

GB - 1500 with shifter and transfer

std ecu with plug - 350

master/slave/lines/pedals - 500

labour - 700 or so for 2 days turnaround

..... thats with 1k change from your 4k spending spree.....

BTW if you dont mind me asking, for an L plater, where does your funding come from?

Yeah thats always a topic for conversation B) My funding comes from the good ol' Golden Arches (yes yes McDonalds) I have worked my ass off for the past two years to be able to afford this stagea :( Plus I'm a crew trainer and I love working there, plenty of hours, OK money and loads of time to talk to your mates there :D

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
