If only... No foreign orders at work now; crazy new site manager.

Ah well, it only took a minute, and I'm getting paid to do something else at the moment anyway.

This is the best one, and closely resembles our car. Care of Scotty; Fuel tank O-ring: 17342-01A00 Fuel filter strainer: 16400-4M405 Contact Scotty for a fuel pump. http://g35driver.com/forums/engine-drivetrain-forced-induction/190372-walbro-255-installation-diy.html

Awesome! Here's my old one.

Beautiful ride there mate; they look so good on R34 GTR wheels.

It's the "Mad Max" pack.

Oh god yes; in! This will be huge!

Good to see you finally solved it; thanks for the update.

So the alternator belt is slipping, and you're having voltage related issues? Change the belt, tension it correctly, then load test the battery. The start of winter is when they tend to fail.

Normally when I join a forum; I don't start ranting at guys who've been there for years, as it generally makes you look a bit foolish. If Mozzman has some useful information, or maybe some first hand Stagea experience to offer; I'll be happy to check it out. Generalised ranting doesn't really impress me much; actual knowledge does.

Woot! Made my escape; I'll be there soon!

Shit! Bloody brokeded machines at work, I haven't been able to get away! Apologies for taking a spot someone could've used!

Awesome stuff Terry! Glad I could help.

It should be around 5l; I actually run 5.5l in mine.

I only have a lighter, that should work; Right?

It's almost as if you didn't read that Scotty has one that you can buy for a shiteload less than buying through Nissan? I bet you could have it shipped from Melbourne to Ryde pretty easily too. Why do people want to do things the hard way?

Get in touch with Scotty.

The 27mm isn't available through Whiteline any more anyway, but in the Stagea the heavier 24mm rear bar is much more important.

What is this DƎИ-Z of which you speak?

Do tell?

Apparently there was hail at Hazelbrook, but we got none at Faulco.

Good stuff Terry, we found him very reasonable, and gave good advice which saved us a decent bit of cash when we bought our gas hot water service. He also came out on really short notice to unblock a drain, and didn't hit us with a callout charge because we'd used him before. I'll always recommend guys like that.

At least the most critical parts have been done well; the rest, while a bit disappointing, isn't the end of the world. Hope the get the finer details sorted quickly Tez. When does the Mazda go in?

That's why I did my own.

Current model Audi cars (due to the use of electronic handbrake) require the use of a scan tool to retract the rear brake pistons to replace the pads; a mate who works for a brake specialist was refused any assistance from Audi, unless he paid over $800 to a stealership. They also told him that the car's warranty was void because "specialist safety work" had not been undertaken by Audi, and they couldn't guarantee the quality of the workmanship. Three hours on the internet looking for a procedure, and a software patch for the scan tool; and they were able to reset the dash light and replace the brake pads, which were a $250 part. Imagine if Audi could sue the mechanic and the scan tool maker for breach of copyright? What about the bloke in the US who was quoted $4400 for a replacement battery pack for his Prius? He was able to simply clean the terminals and busbars in the battery pack and it was fixed in a few hours with basic tools. Sorta serves him right for having a Prius, but it proves that with ingenuity and innovation we don't have to be at their mercy. Now they want to change the rules and use the law to penalise clever innovative individuals. Imagine if Toyota could sue him for using "non genuine parts" to repair his car? http://jalopnik.com/the-dealer-wanted-4-400-to-fix-his-hybrid-he-did-it-h-1685721487
