nice

Stagea's look at lot more sleek and quick. Volvo just looks "i am a volvo"

On another note, I think the XC70 is the wrong one to compare to, you need the non-4wdish model. Think, not the adventra model, but the commo wagon model

lol, Yeah it was the only Volvo I had access to though :huh:

It's funny that the Volvo's gear knob looks surprisingly similar to a Skyline one...

I gotta admit, I really like the way the design direction has been heading at Volvo since the intro of the S, V, and XC series of cars.

Chris, your car looks a lot more red in these pics. In the other pics you've posted previously it looks a lot closer to the maroon/wine red. Car scrubs up well, though - I love the way those wheels look on the Stagea, but they must be a bitch to clean.

Yeah the colour of my car is really starting to come out now. Gave it a quick polish on some of the panels yesterday, looks 100% better. I'll finish the rest today probably. Yep the wheels are fantastic :) I would like some new ones, but cant be bothered getting rid of these ones. lol they are constantly dirty though - salt from Japan :O

If I had to choose between those exact two cars, I would choose the volvo. Has to be manual for me!

Still I voted for the stagea :)

Yeah the Volvo is great :) I love it

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
