Hmm...got banned from a Veloster Turbo forum for being a "troll"...apparently if I shatter their dreams and tell them that their tuned 160kw atw cars will not beat a Commo VF SS its "trolling"...ignorance is bliss I guess.

Guy's just a random question - I'm wandering out of interest how much were the stags when originally released(in AU$ Roughly). I've got an S2 1999 WGNC34.

A 25t RS Four V was 3.26M Yen when sold new, so probably around the $40K Aus mark in '99. Chepaer than a VTII Commodore SS.

The only cure for that is to buy another one and do all those things to it that you said you'd do differently if you had your time over again.

/experience

ha!

my S1 C34 was 255kw low boost ;)

did everything I wanted.

Ha, if I did it again I'd grab a 26tt Autech and adapt an auto ;)

Studies finished a few weeks ago, started a casual job but am actually in line to get a great gig as a cardiac & vascular radiographer, ie specialize in Angiography

Been getting by under the radar, only ever a few $ away from living under a bridge, so hopefully a new start on the horizon....

Good for you mate; glad to see the hard graft is paying off for you. :thumbsup:

I didn't know whether to post this here or in 'What Did You Do To Your Stagea Today?' But here goes...

Today I dropped an unwrapped Mars Bar on the floor while I was reaching for a slice of pizza from the box on the passenger's seat, and it went right under the seat.

Luckily, I didn't drop the pizza slice, and was able to transfer it to my right hand. But I couldn't reach far enough under the passenger seat to find the Mars Bar while steering and holding pizza with one hand. I think the Mars Bar probably melted.

It could have been a disaster, but fortunately I keep a spare Mars Bar in that little vertical cubby to the right of the centre console, between the boost controller unit and the lighter socket where the car-jug plugs in.

I only mention this to illustrate how important careful food management is to the safe operation of our performance vehicles.

Last time I was in Scotland I asked at the local chippie (chip-shop) for a slice of pizza and she took a slice off a stack and dropped it into the deep fryer with the chips and the cod.

No wonder Scots have the highest heart attack rates in Europe.

Wis' ye could replace arteries wi' braided lines.

nm35 questions

 

how much is the diameter of the lower end of the front shock absorber? 

how long is the shock absorber with the spring?

the length of the rear shock absorber is? what about the rear spring diameter and length 

Spring rate of stock springs?

Keep looking for a Nismo S-tune kit.

stock suspension is way too soft for a 1600kg wagon, even worse once you fit sway bars

S-tune is 20% stiffer, awesome mod.

If you search it at RHD Japan, all the specs are there, you could easily calculate close approximates for stock rates

I'msure people have asked this before but I don't know if anyone has answeredit yet.

The M35 is available from factory with an LSD, at least in PNM35 form. For original specs go to...

...and g33k out. C34 and M35 are both in there.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
