I wish everything wa sonly 15 minutes away but the government has been building anew Perth to Mandurah rail link right down the Middle of the Kwinana freeway whilst this doesnt put anymore cars on the road the numerous speed changes from 100 to 60 to 80 to 60 to 100 and so forth seem to confuse people as well as the lane diversions and closures which only sloq us down as Perth drivers seem to have an inability to merge with other traffic. I drive to work in Joondalup in the mornings which is a 50k drive from my house and if I leave early enough it only takes 30 minutes but if I get stiuck in traffic it takes over an hour.

Once the roadworks are done at the beginning of next year though it will all be good

and I am sure anyone who lives north of Perth who has to use the Mitchell freeway to get to work will tell you how bad that is with no roadworks

lol, if i get stuck in traffic in sydney it can sometimes take more than two hours to get where i need to go

If I go the long way, and if I get every red light and if I get stick in traffic............

If all that happened, then it would take me a whole 15mins to drive from one side of Rockhampton to the other :yes:

You are lucky to get such a long trip. Prolly even get into OD and even lock it up on a fine day.

Mt. Tamborine is 1min 37secs on a foggy day and dont bother if the weather is fine. Its much better to walk.

How I loooove my retirement.lollollolhahahahaha

PS... It ought to be ESSENTIAL that location is part of registering.???Moderate.

Location is not manditory :dry:

And since you cant get 98RON petrol up the top, you have to travell down the goat track to the coomera BP and damn have to go shopping in Beenleigh, means that you have an AwEsOmE! little exciting drive ;) I have 4.3kms of straight with one 90 degree turn in it, and that is about as exciting as it gets in rocky :yes:

true, he's actually spotted my car. missus was usin it for the day. completely forgot! may seem him around soonish, will be moving to the sunny coast. He'll show me up, though... i am pretty proud to be the owner of the slickest wagon for 129km...

ps you actually looked up those distances?

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=61254

been started already, but it's quite an old thread. i don't know how many of those people still have stageas

I remember that thread, and I wonder where some of the old members are now...

mcnamg (Glen) is back, but where did madwagon and Jay95R33 go? They were also very instrumental in the early days...

Does anyone else remember any missing members from when we first started posting?

Gary1, he was the previous owner of my stagea, and I dont see any stagea's either, at all.

There is a rumour floating around that there is one in yeppoon (25kms away) but yet to see it or have anyone confirm that yet...

what about DRIFFT or DRIFTT i think it was from perth, he sold his ages ago though and i have spoken to him a few times since. top bloke and very helpful ;)

saft from NZ doesnt post on here very often either but he is a wealth of good info on going fast in a stagea as his dads one ran a high 11 ages ago in a rb26 rs four.

thats about all i can think of.

Nick,

As you probably remember madwagon wrote his stagea off most likely he got something else with the insurance money and is on another forum talking about his new ride.

I thought Jay sold his car as well.

Brad yeah Nigel is very helpful I have also spoken to him since he sold his stagea I think he has a Chaser and a Delica now he is active on the delica discussion forums www.delicaclub.com I think he works for a RAW down near mandurah and he knows the blokes at autowholesale

true, he's actually spotted my car. missus was usin it for the day. completely forgot! may seem him around soonish, will be moving to the sunny coast. He'll show me up, though... i am pretty proud to be the owner of the slickest wagon for 129km...

Qiky - your stagea will show mine up any day. By the way, my sister lives in Narangba/Burpengary, so maybe we'll catch up when Im visiting her. If you dont move closer then 129 k's beforehand

    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
