syzsounds Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Hey guys, Pom here. Is there any info about draining and refilling the coolant system? I seem to have some very nasty rusty looking water in my Stag and would like some info before i drop it all out. Just how to refill and bleed the system would be great. This site is brilliant for Stag info. Cheers Sy.

syzsounds Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Thank you Is it just a case of taking the bottom hose off and draining it ? I have seen the little cross headed screw thingy on the rad but after reading how they break then i'd rather take the hose off. I seem to have a little leak underneath the inlet manifold that's dripping onto the oil filter, Is there anything around there that's common for leaking ? Also what kind of coolant to use ? I got no service history or booklets with this car ( Big gamble huh !) So im literally flying blind at the mo. Didn't stop me doing the high boost mod and chucking the Apexi filter on today though ..

KiwiRS4T Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Coil packs are expensive. have you checkd your plugs? Get a set of coppers gapped to 0.8mm (NGK BCPR7ES-8 are pre-gapped). If that doesn't fix it try to borrow some coils before you fork out for new ones (Yellow jackets seem to be as good as the splitfires but cheaper). As for the tuning get an Apexi SAFC (old cheap one will do) and if you can find one an SITC for the timing. BTW if you do a search on coil packs you'll find lots of ideas for insulating them with tape or epoxy.

KiwiRS4T Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Well annually should be fine for plugs but sounds as though you may need coil. SAFC is fo adjusting air/fuel ratios .. will overcome rich/retard (what you were referring to as fuel/boost cut. Basic models are $100 -$200 there is a flash one with blue screen in the skyline parts for sale of this website Google Apexi SAFC for more info Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/102808-stagea-d-i-ys-how-tos-f-y-is/page/2/#findComment-4776514 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st stag Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 thanks heapswill ask my mate if he can get me one aswell as the coil's..... are you born and breed in nz?? i am from kaitaia(though born in aussie so got the best of both worlds a convict and kiwi) wife is from d'urville island. the coil packs seem to bee the most common thing that stops boost is this right?? is this just because they are crap[ or is there a tech reason they cant handle boost?? will spend the rest of the night catchin up on SAFC many thanx again Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/102808-stagea-d-i-ys-how-tos-f-y-is/page/2/#findComment-4777001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingFast Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I remember someone put some DIY intercooler cleaning but can't find it anywhere, think they had half and half mix of turpentine and metho from memory with a rinse of water at the end. I read on some other site people using vacuums to dry them out.

XRATED Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 (Yellow jackets seem to be as good as the splitfires but cheaper). Don't buy the rip off splitfires (yellow jackets/Just Jap/Red jackets etc) as they're a poor substitute. The voltage output is all over the show and the latency is very slow. They also don't seem to last to long either. Origional or Splitfires.
