I blew my Stimulus bonus on a radar detector and some some possibly dodgy stuff but if it werent dodgy it wouldnt be me from a LOCAL business

Busy Bee / camp out weekend at your place!

you mean the yellow foggies in teh front bar? I think they are disabled as part of compliance, but you said it worked when you picked the car up?

feeel the lurrrrvee for nissan datascan

perhaps its due to the article on news.com.au about a car crash published today

damn I missed this and we were not even doing anything * sobs * someone shoulda rang me- been so busy at work not really had time to surf forums oh well - next one

please go on ( dont! stop! --- oooh dont, stop! dont stop !! ) I am thinking of getting an s15 silvia Soon ish - reason being I dont think I want something as chunky as an r34 , sunroof meh.. nice to have - but the only reason I was going for the spec R is the helical LSD_ but you have just advised me in a very convincing post that both the spec R and the Spec S have this - so I would rather get a tidier spec S and spend a bit less and kit it up myself if I wanted rather than makde the uneductated decision to buy the spec R in the false beleif its the only one with the Helical LSD

check for one of these

and where is that oil leak in that last pic

is the snow button engaged? or is the center diff locked? what surfaces are you driving on now? tarmac? my guess is the center diff is locked

yeah I usually do it as you both have described- but I think if your filter has an anti drainback valve this causes problems too - you will get a bit of spillage but not a massive amt

relocation kit - or even cheaper - degreaser thats all I do - just make sure the filters on tight and the dipstick is protected from water with some tape and just get some degreaser in there and viola- good as new

* sean sulks that nobobdy was awed by his amazing optic fiber idea*

ok here is your challenge - do it with Fiber optics! Just get a bundle of fiber optics together and that should do it. can you imagine the resolution you could get on the stagea logo! now THAT would be impressive but - yeah - as it is up there looks kinda lame and chintzy..

so must be the case that on long trips we get much better fuel econ. yeah we do mostly city driving and usually get around 320-380 k a tank

hey man good to meet you - Lotty pointed you out and we were wondering if you would catch up and say hello .. the 2 cars did look pretty identical - expect ours is missing a turbo and 100cc displacement haha.. how many kays do you get out of a tank before your warning light comes on ? we got 450 out of the last tank ( 30 / 70 country and city driving )

Spotted 2 stageas on the weekend one silver ( very clean ) s1 outside cannington Fresh just before 7pm also saw a ( pretty sure it was ) 260 RS just near bunbury on Saturday around 9 in the morning I suppose - he came up next to me and gave me a wave our car was disgustingly dirty so I didnt feel very good reprazentin the stagea crew

thanks for posting all that!! excellent info - will save lots of time when I need to do the pads if only rotors were as easy!

thats lotty and I out then - this weeknd free- next weekend in bussleton - weekend after that leaving for singapore and malaysia for a week but I was just thinking this very morning how the stagea crew were drifting apart a bit. Hope you guys have fun

umm just my personal opinion but the Ebay turbotech Boost controllers are a LOT better than the turbo tech - like I sh1t you not you will notice a difference - I had a dual stage turbotech one before and I found it average at best- not having a go at you just want to suggest a better product

are you sure the hoses etc leading into your throttle body are all ok ? could be a really really bad vac leak?

could it be the case that your springs are not the correct rating? ie could be rated incorrectly ( too hard ) and yes the higher profile tyres will def help are you sure the car does not have solid subframe bushes * pineapples * because I noticed a definate change in ride after I fitted the subframe bushes. not that I am complaining cause I think the car definately gets off the line faster and feels better handling wise than before I put em in

oh but you didnt mention how you can turn off each cylinder individually or " trick " the motor into thinking its running at 110 Deg C - you can also datalog it and graph it in excel etc.

NISSAN DATA SCAN IS DA BOMB!!!!! I have a cable I built myself -just been too lazy to hook it up haha.. but yeah.. Stinky Rooster got one from over east for not a lot -anyone interested contact him or buy/steal/borrow a cable - its well worth it!
