I do recall there is a menu to close down the screen, but I have no idea where it is. I think I have had a similar problem in the past.

Privacy glass - got to wonder what your doing in the back of the wagon that needs to be so private?

:woot:

Haha, nah my NM35 has privacy glass... this is on another level... or is this just another series 2 improvement?

I know it can be turned off, I did it! Just need to know how to turn it back on as I obviously can't access the menu to do so :(

About time!

So... when do the mods start? :cheers:

Saturday... or maybe tomorrow depending on work load :ninja:

NA mods = waste of time. :P

Your time will come... and you won't like what I will have in store for you to make up.

nice one cam!

is that front cameras or front parking sensors?

Front cameras which would display a split imagine on my screen... if my screen displayed anything at all :pirate:

Decided to borrow some wheels off of a friend for a random photoshoot (18 x 10 + 22)

than a friend and myself drove up to Roxby Downs to apply for some jobs in the mines..

(says RUN YOUR CAR NOT YOUR MOUTH)

The wheels felt absolutely horrible on the car, ended up snapping 2 wheel studs at 110kph on the way back from Roxby Downs... Got stuck on the side of the road for over an hour then waited another 2 hours for RAA to take us to Port Augusta, THEN had to wait till 11pmish when a friend came from Adelaide with a trailer to take us home.. Was an interesting road trip thats for sure!

Sorry for the quality of the pictures, my phone is a bit bleh when it comes to photos!

And lastly, the only reason I got my Stagea was for my boys :

But very shortly will be taking the stagea off of the road to do some mods to it (motor, interior, gear box, trim, body kit, wheels, suspension etc)

Sorry for the overload of pictures haha

^ bit of a different approach, good to c.

Why do you need to do all that at once? And what do you plan to put in/change.

Well my partner is a diesel mechanic and the previous owner didn't do a great job with the car so we want to modify the motor, bigger turbo etc pretty much make it a two seater awd monster haha... so if I buy a cheap daily we can slowly build it up and take our time doing it right the first time

I just love that they sent Volvo to help a Stagea owner!

Haha actually my partner works for Volvo trucks as a diesel mechanic so he does truck break downs, after we got the car home he came and fixed it with the work van... kinda Ironic he works for Volvo and I have a stag haha

    • To clarify, I meant nismo bushes, not control arms (don't even think that's a thing for my car). So the suspension specialist said, if I buy those nismo bushes which are perfectly centered it will cause my car to veer in one direction. Whereas he said the current offset bushes that I have were put in on purpose to fix that issue. This will be my third wheel alignment if I put these bushes in lol. My chassis is straight, all my rails are clean.
    • OK, well, in that case, the suspension specialist is either a moron, or you aren't understanding what he was trying to tell you. Nismo arms are not really different than stock arms. Both are fixed geometry. I don't know if the Nismo ones are a little shorter than the stockers (or perhaps even a little longer) or the same length, but....if you swap from stock to Nismo, whatever happens to one side will happen to the other side. It will not cause it to steer left or right. That is unless you have adjustable bushes in your stockers, and they happen to be adjusted to dial out some bent chassis shenanigans. But, if that were the case, you'd just put adjustables in the Nismo arms anyway, because Nismo arms are essentially just expensive stock arms. And doing a wheel alignment is just a weekly thing in my world. I have had the suspension apart so many times this year that I've lost count and just about worn out a torque wrench. I'm out in the shed right now cutting up some alloy section and making bases for my new stringline setup. Got to make new swivel plates next, then I'm good to do toe properly, as well as camber and bump steer.
    • Yeah, nah. Not a thing. The gasket between the top of the plenum and the runners is far more likely to blow out when it gets old, and not really at ~14 psi. These things have been run to double that for 30 years without that being a common thing.
    • I plan to pull the intake manifold off and check the gaskets, i read that the block to manifold gasket can blow over 14psi and when i picked up the car it was set to 1.2bar on the controller. Send the injectors out for cleaning. Ill also pull the cam covers off and do an inspection, check some valve lash. Someone also said that the timing belt can rub or vibrate against the belt cover and make that sound. Definitely need to get an AFR gauge on it, if it was lean idling im sure it wont be happy
