Email sent - sounds very interesting. Although I am tempted to leave it until it dies, since its shown no signs of issues so far. Should pressure test it I guess.

I'm north, but yeah I'll be driving around the place on the weekend so if you can't make the cruise I can drop past some time. If you haven't got the details for the cruise let me know, or PM Big Fella and one of us will send it to you.

I was more thinking of doing what some of the guys have been, and getting a custom alloy radiator to fit, using the stocker as a template.

I've just been talking to DBA, and have just received my set of Clubsport T3 rotors, which is their new design for the 4000 series. Their recommendations for track days are: The rotors must be at least 400km old (The first 400km of a rotors life needs to be normal driving) At the beginning of each session you should always do one warm up lap using moderate braking to bring the rotors up to temperature. At the end of each session you should do a warm down lap using moderate to light braking to bring the temperatures back down. When you park the car don't apply the hand brake, you also should push the car forward every few minutes to prevent heat soak into the rotors. You will notice light crazing on the surface of the rotor after a session, this is nothing to be alarmed about this is all normal. I'm tracking my in November at the SAUSA track day, so trying to get prepared.

Yes very happy about the coilovers. It only took a bit over twice as long as I was quoted in the end You going to the cruise? Should try and make it, I want to check out this trans cooler and radiator!

Glenn, last time we met at the BP on South Road just past the Torrens Road intersection (next to the Maccas), but 8.45 does sound about right. So maybe 8.30 departure from Parafield like you said? Shouldn't take more than an hour on a Sunday morning, surely! How many Legnums we expecting? Must outnumber them!

Saw it from the back, didn't see anything obvious but it did have one of those new fangled S plates on it.

If you're looking at chucking it let me know and I'll store it for you. Be easier to get one made from a spare than from the one in the car...

I'll see if I can find his card and PM you guys. I want him to look at mine too. He did some work on the front of my parent's old Audi Q7... couldn't even tell there'd been damage, and he did it all in their driveway for bugger all. From memory they found him on Solitare's recommendation. Oh, and my BCs turned up yesterday! None of my new stuff will be in before the cruise but I'm hoping everything will be done before the track day, except maybe the Emanage. Have to work a couple of things out first.

Google maps said same time to do a trip south the other day that took 50 mins... Can't remember what time we left last time we went down to the dirty south though...

How bad is it? I have a card somewhere for a mobile guy who does amazing work pretty cheap.

Try calling mv automatics?

So that last spot must be mine, for some reason I never got added to the list, have now paid deposit.

Not sure. If youre coming on Sunday we could check?

Taking the track car because its faster than the roady mate? Tangles, you keen on the cruise? Not sure where you live, but Im sure someone can pick you up

Since when? I thought he was doing more mods, not in the mood for selling!

I make it as 16 Stags so far, with 11 maybes. impul535w? Fgjoh? pork hunt drifting? Dream15? Dunc? Hotwire? Cheddar? Best B4? RubyRS4? MOUTH? slippylotion?

Since Chopps brought this up I thought I'd resurrect it. Looking through this, is the only reason why you didn't try a Navara/Pathfinder gearbox the ratios? R34 gearbox isn't that expensive if you're desperate for a manual solution. Personally, I'm going to get the shift kit in and I should be happy. I was just thinking that any gearbox from a 4WD Nissan that bolted onto a VQ motor should work, and Navara/Pathfinder was all I could think of.

Since it's an M35, have you looked at the Shift Kit Jetwreck is offering? There is no auto to manual conversion at the moment, but if you do a search you'll find out all the info. There is a lot of info on this.

Black C34 at Tyres and More Prospect yesterday morning as I walked to work. Black C34 (maybe the same one?) on South Road this morning.

Took the Stag up to the Adelaide Hills and did a road closure for Classic Targa Adelaide. Reaction was very interesting. Ranged from people just saying 'nice car', to one particular bloke, who'd been irritating me with his so called 'expert' opinions (thought a Porsche 944 was a Mazda). Someone in his group asked me how I found the Volvo. I told him it was a Nissan he was impressed. Thought it had a V8 in it from the burble. The expert finally decrees 'that's a Stag-eeee-a isn't it?'. I correct his proununciation then leave him to it. When it comes to packing up, I had the car on and the door open and they end up grouped around the drivers door looking at the interior, questions like 'is that pop up screen factory?', and many positive comments. Mr 'expert' finally fesses up... "I've never seen one this new before". Didn't know anything about it. Walked home with tail between legs. Amusing!

Do a search in the Stagea Discussion section, there are a few options.

Link doesn't seem to work?

Found this while I was shopping tonight, funnily enough after Craig and I had a conversation on people overcharging for parts: http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=1198&Car_Type=G35&UID=20110915052013118.210.201.250 It MUST be better

Cheers Craig, PM sent.
