Oh, for crying out loud

and slobbering down the sink! :)

I've created another monster :) ...I left the numbers blank because there is nothing to hate..

(except maybe the lack of cruise control)

My wife warned me this would happen...but then when do I ever listen to her... :laugh:

1. lack of drivers legroom

2. lack of drivers headroom

3. lack of backseat legroom once drives seatrail extended to make up for deficit #1

4. should have come stnd with a higher flowing turbocharger

WTF were you expecting?

If everyone loved their stag unconditionally, this forum would be a pretty damn boring place with everyone talking about how they AREN'T modifying their car because it is perfect just the way it is.... :)

The thing that I love about the car modifying culture is that everyone has their own ideas and perceptions on how things should be done.

Oh, and ALWAYS listen to She Who Must Be Obeyed....... :)

Just to piss everyone off

- I have a tow bar

- I have cruise control

- I have the gauges mounted nicely

- I have enough leg room

- I have a highflow turbo

- I have decent fuel consumption (10L hwy, 14L city)

- I have found the upgrade kit (Bilstein/Whiteline) excellent, double wishbones are the bomb

- I have wheels that look great, fit well and don't rub at all

- I have found aftermarket support pretty great, I've gotten every replacement part pretty easily. Just had to use my brain in some cases

BUT, what annoys me

- auto, 4wd and heavy (not AS fun, cant drift/skid it, chews tyres/fuel when on the fang)

So then my question, why isnt someone buying my reasonably priced, well equipped, well performing wagon?

1. I don't drive it enough to enjoy the superior handling from the double wishbone suspension all round :laugh:

2. I don't have enough time to fit all the parts I have for it in the garage

3. The fuel tank isn't big enough when towing the race car (which also has double wishbone suspension all round)

4. People keep wanting to borrow it, fast waggons are not exactly common

5. I keep thinking what it would be like if I just slipped an RB31DET into it :rofl:

:laugh: cheers :P

excuse my nOObness (again) but WTF is a RB31DET??

I have read up on the RB30 upgrade (and am currently in negotiations for my left testicle :rofl: )

as I think the torque gain makes it the most viable mod for the ol' family truckster but what is the 31 bit?

Overbore perhaps?

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
    • There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows
