Yeah that and the plastic bit that goes around it, remember it broke when we *cough* you took it out :P nah I reckon it was broken before you even touched it eh, I didnt hear a crack or snap, it just fell apart in your hands.

Still RIP Green Beast that idled for 3hours when you helped me do the speaker install ;)

do you want to get rid of the grille, or keeping it for good luck?

Mate that question has been plaging me for DAYS. i dunno. The next one will be a 34 front, so i wont NEED it, but it might be good on my wall, more as a reminder than anything else.

damn, i was gonna offer you something. I'm getting bored of my grill not having any detail except mesh. probably better off keeping it for future reference to remind ones self of the dangers of speeding ;)

so Rob, whats it like being hit in the face with an air bag?

It must be a very plush airbag in the Stagea, as evidenced by the lack of injuries. Airbags FTW! I've got 4 of em in my Stagea, but I dont plan on trying them out any time soon.

There was one in Perth that hit a bus and caught fire while the driver had his foot stuck.

i know the one in QLD was involving a bus was a forum member called mad wagon would have to be close to 2 years ago now

That's right, IIRC he said he would probably buy another Stagea, but we've hardly heard from him since...

after 3months of ownership, it's just about to where i want it.

full bodykit, exhaust, bilstein coilovers, hks filter, and 17x9.5 sparco wheels off my drift car until i can be a$$ed putting 19's on it.

    • I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for ?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for  >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate modern almost all cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.
    • Let's be wary though, if cranking is so far off, what else isn't set right? Are the dead times set right, voltage compensation etc?   It definitely sounds like it's cranking fuel issues, and holding flat to the floor is shutting them down, but I'm with Duncan that if nothing was changed in the ECU at all, and then this started, I'd be more thinking a leaking injector.   Do as Duncan said, drop the oil and make sure it's not full of fuel.
    • It actually means give it less throttle.
    • Yeah if the goal is to drive something then modifying a car is a bad idea.
    • Wowee! She looks like a major handful out there Pete!
