Mine is a dirty ho too. :P

I was trying to organise a Stagea Dyno day, dont want it too big but that would make a great Melbourne meet... Have to see if the owner is interested yet.

awesome, sounds good - maybe once the weather gets a bit fairer - although they have said it will be a wet spring, which is fvcked - so over winter.

and no fun at all for you with a black car!! i'm loving white already, so easy to keep clean, just pulled into the car wash this morning - $1 in the high pressure washer, sprayed off the dirt and its back to new!!

Hey, thanks!

Cooler is abit of a custom item. If you look at the where the Inlet and Outlet is there's a weld separating them them. When I first purchased the cooler I got it home and had a closer look. it was more or less a Single tank. I figured Air will flow the route with the least amount of resistance, therefore rendering the core useless. So we removed the tank and cut it in half and welded in a plate that would divide the tank into 2x. Pressure tested and all.

Only down side to this design is when used on Big HP Applications there is almost guaranteed Boost Drop as the air would be cooled twice. No worries for a nimble Stagea :)

Reo copped the usual chop. As I mounted the cooler as low as possible to allow as much air exposure as possible. But I did a neat job with enough room to run a piece of Vac Hose along it to prevent any such rubbing. Also managed to retain all the Under Body plastics.

But mine is only a little turbo, its only the fuel... I seem to remember you at one of the RE days talking about ecu's and turbo's. Arent you interested anymore?

Funny, as an M35 owner I used to look up to you c34 guys in awe at the power you could make with a quick chip and tune, after a lot of hard work I got there eventually. Now I want to help all the other guys...

    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
    • As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.
    • but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
    • Absolutely. Look very closely at the photo (of yours) that I took my second snip of. See how the sill is thicker material right behind the pinchweld, where the two notches are? That is the factory reinforced area for lifting. That pad is supposed to carry the weight. The factory jack (go look at it, and how it interfaces with the car at the pinchweld) shows you exactly how the load is carried from the car to the jack to the ground.
