Nice, I love the red but its a pity it fades so bad with time. Thats with any red though.

What'd set you back locally?

yeh, ill try keep the polishing etc up so it doesnt fade...

it cost me $16,300 with a years reg and rwc. also has all the import papers and he gave me 6 wheels (4x stockies and 2x work wheels) everything he had, he gave me for nothing.

Loks Nice Jarryd.

Damn you, you also got S2 tail lights.

Now we need to organise a Melb Stagea Cruise.

PS. I hate you Jarryd lol I was meant to be the only melb member with red

yes, melb stagea cruise is good idea.

and lol, im sorry.

Nice mate, good work.

Not bad a price, interesting actually, I scored my S1 dayz 2yrs ago for $17800 (didnt get extra wheels, lol)

that was with catback exhaust, pod, apexi boost guage and solenoid adjusted to 10psi

Good pickup there in my opinion.

funny you should mention polishing my observant wife noticed just recently on the net somewhere it's not advisable to polish cars with sfhc, be interesting to see if anyone can shed any light on that.

Nah, thats a bit of a crock, you can polish SFHC (Super Fine Hard Coat - its a clear coat paint treatment put on in the factory. If you Stagea has it SFHC will be on your back window at the bottom) What you need to do though, is stick to pure wax type polishes and avoid the buggery out of anything even mildy abrasive. The abrasive cuts into the clear and leaves really nasty swirl marks in it that you will never get out. Mind you, I have never actually polished mine and the water still beads every time it gets wet so I don't see much point.

    • I ❤️ Matty I would like to thank Matty for going out his way in securing me a OEM NC detachable hard top for the NC Matty, your worth your weight in gold, and I cannot say how much I really appreciate your outstanding help I'll get it colour matched once I pick it up sometime in Dec-Jan 😁  
    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
