PN-Mad

Lol. I will humour in a good natured manner above jokes in exchange for great pics of car... Deal?

I've got a spare seat- if you still want to come along. No racecar but. I have tomorrow off if you want to work on it...

To The Top Details are here Looking forward to a great turn out!

Its all up to the hands holding the wheel....

+1 will be awesome! Can't wait - and have set aside Saturday for car beautification! Big ups for Top Secret for offering some great prizes!

Lol... It doesn't have a internal thermostat- I'll be getting one off Jetwreck that goes in line and does the job. PM him if interested...

Love the fact that now you are only apportioning "Awesome" to worthy cars/owners... Edit - PWR 280x150 just getting it ordered from repco... they can order in any PWR stuff. Should be good enough, plus I don't fleabay.

Took mine for a burn up the old pacific hwy today with a mate in a 180SX. Glad I moved the fnt sway bar to the maximum slot, much better handling. Was fun driving a SR20 for a bit (would make great track/weekend hack), but swapping cars, I defiantly saw 15 years of improvements/refinements/abuse Bought a few car detailing things and ordered a transcooler too! Winning!

Spotted a White C34 in the dark last night - Had a bike on the roof. Can't remember where- somewhere around north suburbs of sydney

Welcome - So you'll be coming along to this then! http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/375393-the-official-s-a-u-n-s-w-stageas-15th-anniversary-cruise/ Hope to see you there! Enjoy your stay in the Stagea section!

I wish I could have 14psi....

I think Jetwreck has popped a P/S pump due to trackwork. But tend to agree, cooling p/s fluid for non-racecars might be a bit over the top... (Because Racecar... you know) Interestingly - my car has a small stock P/S fluid cooler - just a finned U bend, sits just behind the grill.

Think it'd be more of a 15mm spacer. Reason I say that is the V35 18's fit over them (+30 not +45) - maybe try to pick up a cheap set? There have been a few around.

Saw the 2.0 turbo version in here in Aust. Came here for Hot Climate testing. Was LHD, and wrapped up like a Christmas pressie!

Can I suggest a "I've driven the longest to get here" prize? Some people making some serious effort to make this - good on ya!

AWD Z See linky - guy in QLD doing a AWD 350Z, with a VQ38 twin turbo. Has been quiet for a good few months. He is using a combination of G35x parts, R34 GTR Getrag Box and a bit of ingenuity. Looking to be able to sell it as a kit for V35's / 350z's. Will work for us if he gets it off the ground, and be a lot simpler. basically all we need is the bellhousing adapter, the way to mount our T/Case on the back of the Getrag, and all the pedels/slaves/masters of a normal manual conversion... Simple eh?

Too many Chubbys over cameras on here. Got to try to save topic... So, the thermo fans stopped working in my shopping trolley. So I check if the fan works- yep, bridged the gap over the relay and sure enough the fan comes on. That makes me think, OK, the relay must be a bit sus. Zip down the auto store - "no nothing like that here" over to mazda and shock/horror /almost fall over at the price- LA10 - bascially a 4 pin 10A relay (like the size of a 50c coin!) $68 or $73 from Ford parts. Not a lot of choice in the matter - so I get one in. Plug in, doesn't fix the problem. Fan don't work. Turns out its the Coolant / fan temp sensor- $35 from the auto store. My next guess was right. Fit it, works perfect- change /flush coolant- everything a source of joy. Which leads me too- What is the most ridiculous price that you have had to pay for a tiny/cheap part?

Got a bit carried away up there did you, Sebastian? Do Tell, what product, how does it work etc etc. Will work for Matte black paint?

Thanks mate, very interesting.

Buy a Stagea. The only people that look at you are Mums with prams and all that kiddy stuff that desperately need a wagon! Oh, and Subaru/Volvo drivers that think its the new model out...

GTFO of my thread. I Googled the shit out of it and came up with nothing. Need someone with mad as interwebs skills/ more patience.

Who has some accurate production numbers of Stageas? C34 and M35 please. I saw some on the interwebs long time ago, and can't find them now!

Just come back from my install with Jetwreck. Can only echo everything that Dale has said above. At parts of the process my mind was boggling! There were differences in my gearbox- namely we had to lower the crossmember to allow access to a plug on the drivers side- that connects to the Transmission ECU, which is sitting in the gearbox. Difficult with the exhaust in the way. Shifts are still sliky smooth for me on low throttle, while the gear box performs much more positively on upshifts at WOT. It doesn't have quite the same effect as Dales, but then again, I'm lacking boost! Once that changes, I'm sure it will come into its own!

In! Hope to see some Series 2 M35's there- come out, come out, wherever you are!!!

Nice Dale! veneer of respectability - I like that! Mine will be going in tomorrow - we'll see what changes they made in the GB with the TCU and things. I really don't need the shift kit at the moment- I find the behaviour of my gearbox to be fine. What I am pre-empting is that things will be radically different when it gets some boost in it over the next couple of months, and being on the dyno for a day I don't want the gearbox to expire.
