*Black Stagea now becomes invisible* nice one Aaron.

lol you have no Idea. not one person looked at me driving to work today

congrats dude

now you can legally drive it :P

lol Thanks man!

I spent my first 2 of my 3 years without P's up :) the only time I actually put them up is when they changed the law to green p's.. (and sent me some free ones ;] )

never got asked once! ( I didn't have a Stag at this time though)

There is a good chance it is the rear of the passenger valve cover leaking, not the turbo. I guess you really want to remove it to check though, and highflow it while its out of course. :whistling:

LOL, shit so the engine needs to be out to fix that valve leak!?

can't afford highflow ATM...just bought the HDi IC, the exhaust, emanage, in a single week. Kinda feeling poor ATM.

And now I'm going to need new shocks. BC's are what? 1200? grrrrrrr

i reckon those shocks are the cause of that noise if its leaking. :)

U reckon?

The previous owner was adamant that it's the BOV. this is what he said:

"It definitely is the blow off valve because when i blocked it off, the farting was eliminated straight away.

Here's a video i took of the car and how it sounded with the blow off valve blocked off.

No farting what so ever:"

Engine shouldn't need to come out. If the turbo needs to come out, then it is probably easier to take out the engine, but also probably more time consuming.

If it is the valve cover, no way would you take the engine out to change the gasket.

Yeah, BC's are 1200-1300 plus shipping from JustJap... or there is a second-hand set of Nismo S-Tune floating around NSW :ph34r:

I cant view vids.

maybe it is a BOV or IC piping. maybe you'll fix it by changing to the HDI like scotty said!

Well now that my position at work has been made redundant (after 11 years service), I've got all the time in the world to work on the Stagea. I attacking all those 'little' things (knocks/rattles) that have been annoying me for a while. Getting an exhaust hanger rewelded today to give a bit more clearance to the tow bar; got new wheel studs to replace the dodgy/stripped ones I have; putting in my order today for larger injectors and a 3076. :D

This weekend I'm fitting a new timing belt and pulleys; along with relocating my oil temp, water temp, a/f, and boost gauges. Also shopping for new slotted rotors front and rear!

So much to do ... so much time to do it :P

    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
    • I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.  
    • Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.     
    • @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!
