any1 giving away a 2 seater lounge??? wanna put 1 in my room, just bought the new HP touch screen computer n everything is wireless (mouse, keyboard) so i dont have to sit at a bloody desk all the time

from memory there we some seats in the for sale thread (dw just checked they were yours :ermm::P

hello everyone

;)

Ok just got back from Dyno. Boost controller having trouble holding boost as it spikes to 25psi and by the end its at 19.5psi.

1st Run wheel spun its titties off so Pete had to tighten the straps more (made 279)

2nd run right up the top off the torque range it lost traction again and the graph fell away (made 323.8)

3rd run the heat had set in but still managed 323.2 and still wheel spun a touch up the top of the torque.

If i can get the boost to hold more stable who knows possible. I will post the dyno graph in the RB25 upgrade thread sometime today.

I owe all this to AD (aka180or200)who has done an absolutely brilliant job on tuning my car. Your a legend mate.

Needless to say i'm stoked with the outcome.

yea and we got one person to thank for it.

Niel is only doing his job....if you have a defectable car then you run the risk of being picked up....it's simple....we have regulations there for a reason and if your car isn't within those regs then pay the price to get it fixed.

Thats one reason why I've removed the mod stuff from my Stagea. Even the exhaust which has a big muffler and tip is very quiet for its size. I took it to the exhaust shop 3 times until I was happy with its noise level. Still got the cat in it too, and fitted a larger resonator, even has a new O2 sensor to ensure its running clean. My car looks great with the body kit and thats about all I need right now. I have my bikes and track days if I wanna go fast.

Getting the silver S1 Stagea registered soon now I've replaced the waterpump, O2 sensor and timing belt. Engine and gearbox has been serviced. I'll be driving that around next month when the black S2 Stagea's rego runs out. The silver stagea is as stock as they come. I can't sell it, so I might as well drive it.

    • No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.
    • Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.
    • That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...
    • It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?
    • This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
