from what ive heard, you cant have anything in the car when it is getting transported...is this true?

That is true.... I transported my Stagea from Brisbane to Adelaide via Adtrans; could definately NOT have anything in the car.

Bummer, Ive had a local company tow/crack my old Cel's front bar so just warning you.

I hope it all works out for you though, dont let my comments scare you.

Let us know :O

Yeah we probably don't need to know thanks Alex :) , all we can do is wait and see, having it smashed a second time before you get it would be too much though I think!

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!

The insurance claim on my front bar has just been authorised WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It saves me $900 that would otherwise have come out of my own pocket

...now i just have to decide what to do with the spare $900 that ive got sitting around.

hmmm.....front mount?....power fc?.... BOV?....aftermarket grille and eyelids?.... what to do?

today was the day, ive had an extremely busy day running around picking up cars and pulling off wheels and taking them to get tyres then putting the wheels and tyres back on the car, im exhausted and i only got a chance to take a couple of photos...

...my new stagea while i was "TRYING" to get it onto the car trailer (oh and thats my grandad in the photos if you were wondering)

Fantastic! How much better does it look in Australia! (strange thing to say) But yeah, it looks hot, can see how there were issues with the front bar and transport.

You must be really stoked to be in possession!

Enjoy it

Luke

edit: pics were working...

Arh, you were just resizing, nice move!

yeah, as much as i love my camera phone, the photos it takes are too big to post and still have people with dial-up be able to load the page

...still havnt figured out how to turn on the foglights in my front bar yet.

Congratulations! When do you get it registered? I assume that is why you are putting it on the trailer.

if all goes well i'll have it registered on thursday...fingers crossed

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
