will you post to Bathurst? PM Sent

willing to post? I'm keen for a cheap 040

Well i'm looking a bit red faced. I thought because my gearbox was playing up that it was a gearbox related problem. turns out i've put some shit fuel through my car and its wrecked my pump and filter, so i'm getting towed home from Coolah to Bathurst.... I'm getting used to travelling care of NRMA, maybe I should just do that from now on. Now to find a new Bosch 040 to replace the one I only put in 6 months ago, bugger.

Some of you may have followed my manual conversion dramas. I've blown up a transfer case and had a driveshaft drop out and destroy a gearbox. now comes the next saga in my story. I'm currently in a place called Turill, which is just off the Golden Highway north of Ulan in NSW. I was driving along, when my car started to lose power at high revs. I thought this was my coil packs finally giving up which i was sort of expecting after 215,000km. it got worse and worse, then i thought the car had turned into limp home mode for some reason, but it just lost all power and i had to pull over. the car was still idling, so it couldn't be that bad that the coils would only work on idle, so i figured it must be something else. as i got out of the car, i heard a terrible pulsing noise coming from the back of the car, right where the ATTESA pump would sit. I turned the car off, and the noise slowly went away, but not instantly. since i figured the pump was shot, i pulled the 4WD fuse out and went on my merry way thinking this will leave it in 2WD and i'll be right. 10 minutes later, the symptoms come back. i pull over this time straight away (last time i had driveline problems i didn't, and ended up with a driveshaft going through my gearbox) and the noise is louder. I called the old NRMA, and after 10 minutes of them trying to figure out where the hell i was, they've sent a guy out to help me. Questions: will the ATTESA pump shiting itself cause the car to lose all power? Also where is the fuse/relay that kills power to the pump? i pulled both the fuse and the relay out of the fusebox in the engine bay and it still works. I might have found out the reason my last 2 gearboxes didn't last that long, perhaps my attesa pump has been playing up since the manual conversion and i just haven't noticed until now. Has anyone who has done a manual conversion left the standard computer in? all i've done is connected the reverse wires from the gearbox into the fuses but left the neutral wires unconnected. someone said in passing to me the ATTESA computer uses the neutral for something, but i don't remember what. when i first did the conversion i didn't think it was needed, and told it wouldn't work with the auto computer to have neutral connected. any help would be appreciated, thanks guys.

Dropped to $14,500 now. I need this car gone. I've bought myself a daily (VT wagon) and don't have the room or time for the Stagea anymore (sadly). let your friends know if they want a bargain manual RS Four-V stagea.

Sorry boss, the car is staying as is.

price drop $14,500. I'm running out of rego on this car and keep racking up the K's with highway driving for work.

I found when i boosted my stag over 10psi it started to hit Rich & Retard and the turbo would spool really quickly and then ping its guts out. i was told the stageas have a fuel cut over 10psi, thought how it detects that is beyond me. basically i turned the boost down to 10psi and haven't had any dramas since

I've had a few queries, but no real interest. I've dropped it to $16,000. the car runs perfectly still, all the K's are mostly long distance driving. if anyone knows someone who wants a manaul stagea, point them my way.

Price drop $16,000 now. I need to get rid of this car in the next few months to pay for wedding / house deposit.

They both have RB25DETs, the turbos have different internals but i'm pretty sure the exhaust fitment is identical.

you undo the screws and pull hard. i used a screwdriver as leverage. the black goo stuff is water proofing, you need it.

I don't think there's a lot the government can do. Oil is expensive, which makes petrol expensive. it's expensive all over the world, there's not a lot the australian government can do to reduce the price by any substantial amount. any reductions are just bandaid solutions. bring on higher fuel costs, it makes renewable technologies more feasable.

the problem with sunlight exposure is that the best areas to absorb it is in northern WA and western NT. not a lot of people live up there, and getting solar power generated up there really wouldn't help where the majority of people live on the east coast. that said you can generate solar energy everywhere, however it's more efficient in areas with larger solar exposure.

Yeah mine was similar to that when i replaced it a few years ago. I thought Novus had a mold now and they were only a few hundred dollars?

$2 from a clutch shop for the spigot bush

I filled up in bathurst on monday morning at $1.75/L, then last night i filled up in Muswellbrook at $1.65/L.... how the heck does that work?

But denmark is on the North Sea, where heaps of oil is.... wtf?

anything is possible, whether it's feasable is another issue.

So I went to get some fuel tonight, i get to the bowswer and look at the price for Ultimate... 173.9c/L I'm starting to get annoyed at why the price is going up so quickly. it seems to jump 5c each week, what's going on? anywho, i'm just venting... why does everything have to get so expensive... interest rates, fuel, food.... bah.

stagea motors are usually fairly cheap to pick up in half cuts, maybe try just jap?

I have it at home, if no one else gets it to you before I get there, I'll send it through

just be careful with that, I think it's illegal to sell a car with a defect on it. I wouldn't want to see anyone on SAU get in trouble for that.

Well Nulon G70 didn't do squat, so the next move is to change over to redline, as the previous owner of the gearbox said he used that and never heard any noise.

Its the controls for the machine guns in the qtr panels
