I may be up for a spin.

I read somewhere a while ago that someone knocked a brown(???) plug somewhere under the bonnet, towards the front right maybe, and it caused their box to go into limp mode. I know you've been playing around under there, any chance you've done something like this. The tread i read was on a r34, but same same

How big are your dogs? Just to give you a rough idea about how much space there is in the rear. With the seats folded forwards a queen air matress fits in the back (inflated, duh) It molds around the strut towers and fits pretty much perfectly.

I've just put Bilsteins in my RS4 Stagea, got them through Car Torque here in Adelaide for a very good price, also did swaybars, still waiting on the rear to come in. Dave at Car Torque is getting some sway bars made up for the rear of the Stagea at the moment, people use the whiteline ones but the links don't sit strait and sometimes the bars don't bolt on at all. That's the problem I had. Some notes about the shocks etc. The shocks I used were R32 GTR fronts, R33gtst Rears The front's come with 2 circlip grooves, the rears have only 1. Using the heighest circlip grove on the front makes the spring seat sit approx 24mm lower than standard, the second groove is another 10mm lower again. The rear springseat sits approx 10mm lower than standard. Using the standard grooves, heighest on the front, the car will sit nicely but a little higher than ideal with the standard springs. Machining one extra groove 10mm lower on the rear shock and using the lower groove on the front will have to car sitting at a better height, guard heights or 360mm front, 355 rear (approx, calculated) I was going to engineer a set of springs to get the ride height spot on without any machining but I found that I already had lowered Tein items in there so I machined circlip grooves to suit.

Just a hint, when you find anything relavent, copy and paste it to word or something, I must have read that thread 4 times looking for information.

Check your master, slave and lines, if it's ben leeking you'll see lots of crap stuck to that area. If you need a new clutch talk to kudos about getting one, look into a light weight flywheel to. I got the heaviest organic one for my R33, was only making 200rwkw up until i sold it. Now it's making around 280rwkw with the same clutch, different owner.

No longer needed, thanks.

Can arrange pickup from QLD and possibly NSW, Vic.

Car Torque Products - for all your suspension needs, great prices

I've got some on loan but i'm looking for some to keep

I'm hunting for some stock RS4 springs at a reasonable price. If you have some you want gone PM me or call me on 0439685079 Thanks Aaron

Stock stagea springs, good condition, standard height.

I'm going to try to make it tonight

Hmmmmm, stinky oil!!!

If you've got the engine out you may as well do the 100k service and other bits while it's out.

Depends, a workshop may have it done in a day, two tops. Having a hoist helps alot!

MR500 did you get my PM?

Tractor pulling perhaps? You could just use a lower gear

Kidafa, where did you get your pod cover? looks good

I just do mine down at the car wash place. Give everything a spray with the engine/tyre cleaner,let it sit for a couple of mins and then spray it off. I used the high pressure rinse setting but only pulled the trigger for the tough bits, the stream from just having it on was enough for most of it. Also, I didn't bother covering anything up, I just avoided the Pod filter. Everything in the engine bay gets wet while driving in wet conditions anyway, I just didn't go crazy with the pressure, just let the soap do it's job.

Could I please get a quote for R33 gtst rotors, front and rear to Adelaide 5015. Thanks

Hey mate, still got the cargo net? Did i see camber arms when I was out there picking up the steering wheel?

Good on everyone who has put in the effort to got things moving. From what I've seen the club thing has been taken further by them than anyone I've seen since I've been on here. Shame on those un-named people who have to stick in a negative comment wherever they can (Madaz). Have you noticed that no-one cares what you think? I'll see everyone at the BBQ

Not sure if i want to go that firm on mine, I travel some pretty crappy roads over here. 2.9kg front and 3kg rear is standard, so i'll probably be aiming for around the 4kg mark

Just a thought, you're running a PFC are you not? You didn't happen to look at your airflow meter settings did you? I looked at mine once to see what options there was and unintentionally changed it to a diff afm. It's easy to do, when the list is up on the screen you just scroll down. No confirmation or anything.
