I bought a new headunit, pioneer one with USB and Bluetooth for $200 cost it was last years one. Pretty happy with that one

I also have a word of warning to ppl thinking of getting alloy radiators, I don't think they can be cleaned like conventional radiators. Mine has blocked up and now heats up on the highway or going uphill for too long :( fml

Lesson learned: ALWAYS get car parts delivered to work (dependant on work site of course).

Oh, and nice looking Stag! :)

Car is looking awesome dude, time for a new gf though? tongue.gif

thanks - it looks much nicer with the caps on and the front lip installed, but had to remove that - driveway entrance to the apartment is too steep and it scrapes.

next step will be vinyl wrap on the roof and mirrors, then detail the engine bay.

got maxima gas struts for the bonnet, and a radiator air guide to install this weekend.

Looks tough with those BBS; very nice.:thumbsup:

Time for G/f retraining.:whistling:

well, i decided to get stuck into my stagea exhaust once again,

i currently have a huge Jasma rear cannon AND a set of twin 3" blast pipes that i change between(jasma for long trips, blast pipes for fun)

But the car has been running the blast pipes for the last month or so and i have been getting sick of the massive drone at low revs.

I concocted a simple plan....make some bigger 3.5" blast pipes with hidden hot dogs.

Since i work at a Holden dealer i grabbed a couple of discarded VE SS hot dogs, these are 2.25" and are of high quality.

i bought a couple of short lengths of 3.5" pipe, and one larger length of 3".

Previously i have bought premade 2 into 1 collectors, but i figured i'd save some money and make my own

the 3.5" pipe was the exact same diameter as the hot dogs, which works well for stealthyness plan

i attached my homemade collectors, which still had to be trimmed up.

after a bit of smoothing with the angle grinder aand a flapper disc, they got a coat of heatproof black paint and were fitted up to my old rear section.

after running the car for a little while to bake the paint on i took it for a test run.

thecar sound exactly the same, maybe a bit depper, but my annoying drone is all but gone.

and it now pops bigger flames because my tailpipe area is retaining more heat :thumbsup:

You and your flames...

Looks great Robbie, you going to keep them on for the cruise?

definately, these ones have no more drone and a nice note, so they can stay on for good.

my jasma cannon is going to be relegated to the defect clearing section of the shed :whistling:

Note to self: Don't drive behind Robbie on the next cruise!

the stagea got a fresh sump full of oil this week, the new exhaust, some fresh tyres and a wheel align.

And i finally pulled the centre of my dash apart to fix some rattles and re-route my ipod and av connectors to the centre console.

It turns out that the little tray under the lid is the perfect size for an iphone or ipod :thumbsup:

On the hunt for an immobiliser. And desperate to get it on ASAP due to the recent mass car jacking that took place here in Canberra the other nite. FFFUUUUUU!

I got one of these from an SDU group buy from the US:

http://www.yulontech....asp?infoid=122

It provides location if the car is moved out of a set area...(will send you an sms message with its location) or you can phone it to ask for its location. You can immobilise the car remotely with your cell phone etc etc

was on the Monash Fwy today behind a truck and something fell off it...I had no chance to dodge and it went under the car.

Made some loudass bangs.

Now when I accelerate hard my car makes clicky/rattling noises...great >_<

Checked under the car and now I have 3 bigass dents in the exhaust system...farrrk.

Dropped the oil and topped up with Motul. As usual the filter was on too tight by the previous guy who did it (RVO auto) and I had do the whole stab the filter with the screw driver thing...made a huge mess...arrgh.

also raised the rear suspension by a few cm...hopefully that'll minimise anymore scrapage...

    • Donut tried them out, they were fine as long as the bolt or nut wasn’t very tight 
    • It is a very complicated plastic tank. Sitting between the rear seats and the rear subframe. Requires a siphon venturi pump in the hat to suck the fuel from the passenger side to the driver side of the tank. The answer is probably prepping the tank very carefully to eliminate all fuel fumes, drilling any cracks to stop propagation, then plastic weld. I don't really see any other solution here. 
    • Does anyone know when your oil drops viscosity, if it is an issue? I imagine with tuned cars they will be overfueling more compared to a stock standard car and will thin out over time. 
    • anyone ever used these ? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/186214260439?_skw=socket+set&itmmeta=01JEG3TKV388ZXGP8N7CHNCQ45&hash=item2b5b3c1ed7:g:mhAAAOSwwB9lf~Xm&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwHoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkJwJeiNMm%2FsStacz%2BhjzBowaFnbNCowwe08vVGrW0FbesCs%2Flw%2FQYjDQLjKsuKvgysWT9%2F4b9AZUX3qLP5RDfFhtD8DxufvqBbyZrQAQXuG3h8%2BxxqhWhH8fIfU84eA9W7VIpxDNw9MWj9BdfkkMasYhcqOjTrcKwLyD3ftzZbaZb2Us7%2FFR1Q2kcT68ZYRU77%2F%2BtRr1qBS27BXxh%2FjWBQxhWyUcLlEFIb%2BITZPIKwxQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABlBMUOy96oP0ZA   I believe the idea being, the rods push back around the shape of whatever nut you put in there. Sounds pretty handy to just need to carry 1x socket in the car for 'most sizes'  but, theory vs reality, anyone tried them?
    • I'm not that familiar with R33 tanks. Plastic? Up behind the rear seat between the towers? Or under the boot floor like a normal car? It's the battery that's up between the towers isn't it? So, plastic tanks. Well, um. The obvious reco is plastic welding, which you'd only look at asking someone who's really good at to contemplate trying. The fuel contamination and grot is probably going to make it quite difficult though. Whether plastic or steel - the end of the crack will want to be drilled before any welding or sealing is done. Otherwise it will just continue to wander along until something bad happens. Steel tank? The obvious answer is drain, wash, purge with inert gas and drill the crack end and weld/braze/silver solder/whatever the guys who do that to fuel tanks recommend. I had a crack/hole/leak in the bottom of a Commodore tank (oe was it my ALFA? - can't remember) that I slammed some gorilla snot onto and it never leaked again. It worked surprisingly well. Or, it's time to fab a new tank.
