  1. I guess I have more right foot control than most people Though I might also admit that 110km or so was coming back from Brisbane then I did another 320km round trip to somewhere in logan so there is a shitload of highway driving in that Almost all my usage in it will be highway driving (to logan and back). Once I hit the start of the mountain roads though I swear I can almost see my fuel gauge moving.
  2. First tank of fuel in my Stagea and I've just hit 530km on the tank (which incidently only required 69L and was right on empty) and I'm about half way between empty and the quarter mark so I think I'll easily manage 600km on the first tank.
  3. If not working I would probably tag along. About to join SauQLD so hopefully will become friendly with a few of you.
  4. Thanks Chris. I'll contact GS tonight/tomorrow and find out. I need you to install cruise control & an alarm into it in a few weeks so will hopefully get it done at the same time if they want to cover it and ditto to the band expander - I can get JJJ but I want ABC local radio which unfortunately is 90.3
  5. What's the weight of the stock rims?
  6. I'm considering putting Volvo badges on my Stag It's been debadged already, unless they come without badges.
  7. Chris, what's on the other side?
  8. 3dB = double the energy/SPL. 10dB = double the perceived volume by the human ear.
  9. The shepherd is a security dog and when someone riles him up he'll redirect his frustration to my seats as he knows I won't release him (as I am obviously not there) unless he is caged. We rile him up intentionally at training and without fail if I leave my car with him in it some moron knocks on the window. That and the Husky is aggressive so they can't be together. Never thought of doing that. I found where ABC local radio is and JJJ so I don't need any other stations but was curious. Thanks.
  10. The guys I got it from actually said to me as I was taking it "If anything isn't working bring it back and we'll fix it" - I only just remembered, so I guess if I took it back they'll fix it regardless but like I said, mine was working when I took it as I listened to a cd on the way home. What's the go with the radios in these? I can't tune anything over 90.0 - aftermarket mod required here or a setting I haven't noticed?
  11. Didn't know the V35 guys had the same system, thanks for the tip & thread.
  12. RX. Not leather, opted against leather as I will have the GSD pictured above in a cage in the back and my Husky in the back seats and the dogs have done a pretty good job on mums leather sofa just from climbing on it ;( TV/Satnav, no sunroofs. Sunroofs would have been nice but unfortunately not.
  13. If you still need one and can tell me how to get the thing out with destroying my car and it won't take over 2 hours to do then you can borrow mine?
  14. Has anyone removed the TV screen from the casing and thrown in a touch screen instead? At a guess the screen is about 6.5'' which are fairly easy to find. I don't care about any of the capabilities I'd lose as I'd install a CarPC.
  15. Seems to be working again, will do some more thorough testing over the weekend. I suspect it is only playing up when I have more than 1 CD loaded in it, if that's the case then I'll leave it as I cbf getting someone to drive 100km with me then returning in a few days to pick it up. Pics, sorry for the relatively poor quality. Using mums camera and I have nfi on how a DSLR works. Need to pay Dad the last 5k for it (I borrowed from parents) and then spend a bit on handling mods and aesthetic mods before I turn to power. Having driven a falcon for 3 years and a daewoo for 1 this power is fine for now. ETA: A few of those photos look the same, but they're not I just get enthusiastic. Ohh, and a photo of the bastard who forced me to buy it:
  16. I shall. Next time I take it for a drive I will (so 5 minutes? )
  17. Gold Star Autos in Strathpine. Grabbed it for umm, $15,250 - 2003 M35 with 112,000 on the clock, a bit higher than I wanted to go but hey, for $15,250 (drive away) I'm not complaining. I quite like it, far quicker than my falcon was and both my parents prefer it over their XR6. Bloody easy to speed in though, will take some getting used to.
  18. Lmao. Kk, will give them a call. After I bought the car I actually had to run back to the dealer (just down the road) as I couldn't figure out how to get the fuel flap open ;( Such an odd way of doing it. I've never seen it done the way the stagea does it. ETA: Thanks!
  19. CD players are covered in the 3 month statutory warranty? (Hopes his memory is correct and that is indeed what it is called.)
  20. Did a google of this error and it seems the consensus was to take it to someone and get it fixed. However, sometimes CDs work and sometimes they don't, so potential causes are? And if I do get it looked at, most likely issue and cost to fix? Was working fine on the way home from the dealership. Only started when I attempted to play Johnny Cash -.-
  21. No doubt Chris, you'll be the one doing the alarm install Dunno how good your memory is but a few years back I was considering getting a skyline and spoke to you about alarms for the skylines and you seemed like the man for the job on a skyline so it follows that you're the man to see for a stagea! ---- Ohhh, of course final purchase is subject to a full inspection from a mechanic. I don't know enough about these (or any models) to inspect. On a side note, does anyone know who I'd see about getting a full cage installed (not just cargo barrier + gates). I am not entirely sure who can legally install such a thing (and create it) as I imagine it probably involves welding onto the car body. I don't mean specific people, just what occupation deals with such things as there wont be a ready made product to suit.
  22. Bought a 2003 M35 today Got a fairly good price on it imo, $15,250 inc on roads. Grabbed this one: http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automotive/U...ternalHotlink=1 Bit of minor body damage - scratches but no dents. Took it for $15,250 which I was happy with. Apparently they had them sitting there not moving as they weren't advertised online so to make room for new cars they slashed the prices and put em online. Judging by the average prices on carsales and such for this year, model with these factory options (no sunroof, but I don't want or need one) and these kms I see advertised for $19k-$22k plus on roads. I shall post photos as soon as I take ownership on the 13th - I'm going to Melbourne so picking it up the day after I get back. Yes, useless post but none of my friends know what a Stagea is nor would they care
  23. Thanks a ton, should have known to remove the 6U90000 since I have the older fast. Brain fart I guess. Now if I can get there before it sells that one shall be mine.
  24. Can anyone run 6U90000NM35317670 for me? No one in the fast thread can do stags.
  25. I like both the green and the purple, however the green doesn't suit lancers and the purple lancer just looks dodgy.
